Spruce/Dogwood at Middle Island Country Club
About
Located almost in the center of Long Island, the aptly named Middle Island Country Club is one of the area's most popular public golf courses. The 27-hole layout is divided into three nines that are played in 18-hole combinations. The Spruce/Dogwood begins with a front nine that underwent a major renovation in 2008. An island green was added to the par-4 seventh and another major addition was new tee boxes to accommodate women, seniors, and championship play. Middle Island Country Club's Spruce nine boasts generous fairways and large greens where there is plenty of room to grip it and rip it. Take advantage of the scoring opportunities on this nine because the Dogwood nine gets much more challenging. The back nine is a formidable test with narrows fairways and greens with surprising breaks that will have you wondering how you "just missed" it.

Great day on a great course
Weather was heavy rain previous day an steady up to tee time overall conditions were great fairways and greens
Staff was extremely accommodating and was a pleasure to play here
Restaurant was not open so could not rate it
Good shape and friendly staff
Played weekday , easy 18 holes within 4 hours.
They keep good shape fairway, green. And staff/ shop/restaurant and starter are very friendly.
Nice Course but bunkers and greens need some work
Played Oak and Spruce 9s. As my title says bunkers need to be sifted to remove stones in them. Also greens had a lot of ball marks. Our group were fixing 2-3 a man on all greens. Also a lot of old scars on greens too. Other than that course was in pretty good shape.
Good course
Played the course for the first time. Good layout for the two 9 holes I played. Will keep going back, since this course is just 12 minutes from me.
Very disappointed with conditions
My friend made the tee time and we were again not allowed to play the Spruce course. This is the 3rd time that we were not allowed to play this course. The others are nothing special. This is the last time that I will play there considering what they charge. The starter was especially rude to us. We were told that the Spruce was closed for maintenance but saw people on the course when we made the turn.
Good pace for Saturday
Good pace of play for a very busy Saturday morning. Fairways were in great shape. Tee boxes and greens were slightly beat-up, but it is mid-summer. Do wish there was more sand in the traps.
Needs work
1. Expensive for what you get
2. Staff in club house was friendly
3. Starter had an attitude. Doesn’t smile
4. The worst practice mats at driving range I’ve ever seen. Holes in all mats. I got small bucket 12 of the balls were split out of 30.
5. Tee boxes were horrible
6. Fairways decent
7. Greens horrible, would everyone just fix their ball marks already
8. bumpiest round driving around I’ve ever had. The cart paths need to be repaved.
9. I believe it’s under new management as per sign. I hope they will use the very expensive greens fees to fix it up. Could be very nice.
Plays like a 35$ round not $75
