Oak Tree/Spruce at Middle Island Country Club
About
Middle Island Country Club offers 27 holes of championship golf. It is one of Long Island's most popular public golf courses. It sits almost right at the center of the island, surrounded by the Lustengarten Nursery. The holes are divided into three nines and played as different 18-hole combinations. The Oak/Spruce Course begins with the shortest of the three nines, but there are some tricky doglegs that can make it play longer than what it says on the scorecard. Middle Island's Spruce nine was renovated in 2008, which added an island green on the par-4 seventh and more tee boxes to allow for women, seniors, and championship play. It's the most player friendly of the three nines, with wide fairways and generous greens that give you the freedom to grip it and rip it.

Worth the Trip
Decent course with challenging holes and generally in good shape
Be prepared for slow pace if you tee off in the morning.
Despite the very dry weather, the course was in very decent shape. Staff was very pleasant.
I am 70 years old and appreciate the fact they have a set of Senior tees but Ii would argue they are too long.
One hole is a 455 yard par 4 from the Senior tees!!!!!!!
Overall, 6100 yards for a Par 71 is just too long
I would ask management to consider shortening these tees some 400+ yards
Please don’t waste your time
I have given MICC numerous chances over the past handful of years. Have historically played 1-2 times per month. I ask all of you reading this to not waste your time. The conditions are horrible, grass is not maintained at all. Pace of play is among the worst around. My group typically plays at 6am (first tee time) they routinely let people out on the back 9 which slows the pace of play to a crawl at best. Starter is often unfriendly, acting as if he is doing us a favor by letting us play for a round that we paid $90 for, which is far too much for what this course has to offer.
excellent shape
really a challenging course,nice layout.greens are plush ,but not fast.lots of shade if you need to hide from the sun at the tee box.
Ballparks / pace of play issues
Overall decent experience. Finding more and more courses on the Island having ball
mark repair issues with golfers. Way to many on several greens. It should be considered a privilege to repair a mark you made from sticking a green. Also, as with many public courses we came to a screeching halt with a foust e in front of us playing from the whites, hitting ten yards past the golds on every hole. We had to ask to pass it was so painful. Hard to control that I know. But it is a nice course and people should respect Golf etiquette more and we would all enjoy it to the fullest no matter the skill level.
Make Sure You Have Plenty of Time
Course was in good condition. Pace of play was terrible. Over 5 hours to play 18 holes.
Nice local course
First time playing the course since I’ve just gotten into the game. If you have a slice you’re going to be looking for your ball in the trees for sure. Everything is tree line. The grounds are well kept and the staff is friendly.
