Island Pointe Golf Club

This course is truly amazing, from the friendliness of the staff to the course layout and beauty, Currently residing in Cincinnati and I will 100% stop in again to play it. Snack shop worker on hole 9 was friendly and the gentleman at the clubhouse went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time.

The fairways were very bare. The greens were beautiful but so slow you can't get the ball to the hole. Extremely slow.

This was an amazing course to play on! Even though the weather was a little rainy at first, the course setup was great and it is such a great price to play 18. The staff is very friendly and they made sure we were taken care of. I definitely plan on going back in a couple weeks!

Well worth the green fee. Challenging layout thst has been given some TLC this off season. Smaller greens require solid iron play. Great vistas of the river with multiple island greens. Very helpful and friendly staff.😃👍🏻👍🏻

Played on a warm
Day in February. Major improvements along river to increase views and playability! Greens are smaller in size but challenging. Championship
Caliber layout. Definitely worth a trip. Staff was very helpful and friendly. 😃

Golf Now somehow took my money but the golf course never got my reservation so we had to pay twice to play (at a higher rate). Thankful to the staff for working hard to get us out to play. They also tried to work it out with GN but with no luck….even after I presented my reservation number and showed them my email receipt..

The golf course was HARD, but fair. The all carry (175 yard) over water par 3’s were so fun to play. A few of the par 5’s were long, but again, fair. Driving accuracy is at a premium. It was wet and cold so my son and I hit a lot of driver - 5 irons on the par 4’s. If we had to do it over again we would have played from the white tees and not the players tees.

Greens were winter slow maybe 9- 9.5 on the stempmeter. The ball rolled smooth, but slow. I’d love to play them at a 11 or 12. O junk or dead spots on the greens and a few were quite large.

Fairways were really good and well defunded even for winter golf. No complaints about them except we played under cart path only and players are not going to fill tier divots under those conditions so there were nice big chucks taken out of the fairways that were not filled.

The bunkers were in good shape, but just wet. Nicely defined and taken care of.

Two issues -
- there was “one” on course restroom (Porta potty) between 9 & 10. I’m a 61 year old man and one port-a potty did not cut it so I did a little tree watering at no cost to the golf course.
- no place to by refreshments or snacks at the turn. The turn is a long way away from the club house.

We will play it again at our next visit to Tennessee.

Some holes are quite challenging. But overall the beauty, and layout of the course was quite enjoyable

Love this track. We look forward to this time of the year to play the course. See you next fall.

The 1st choice of course me an my brother and friends want to play. Very nice course and a great challenge for anyone who loves a great round of golf.

I have played this course at least 50 times since it opened. Last time was over a year ago and it was in bad shape. I can honestly say that during todays round all I could say was Wow at almost every hole. The course has never looked better. They have cleared out brush and trees so the course seems more open with even more views of the river. The bunkering is some of the best I have ever seen. The zoysia tee boxes and fairways were perfect as were the greens. What a transformation!!! I just returned from hilton head and payed $135 a round and only spent $40 today and Island pointe blows away those courses in all categories!!

I am a student at UTK and have been coming to this course all 4 years of school, it truly is a gem of a course and has been consistently getting in better shape(and costing more) over the years but I would recommend this course to anyone who isn’t trying to walk the course as they don’t allow that

Beautiful, well maintained course. It is not for beginners or high handicappers such as myself. If you fall into one of those categories, better bring some extra balls.
If you are a decent golfer, you will love this course.

Although this course is out in the boonies, it was a great experience, The staff was very friendly and helpful. There are 3 practice greens and a driving range that wasn’t torn up, the course is challenging but affords scenic views. My only negative was the sanded greens. I just couldn’t read the grain and that made it harder to putt. However it didn’t seem to slow them down any. overall great experience and would definitely play here again!

Hard. Greens were punched but that’s just how it goes, nothing against the course itself. Beautiful views and such a unique layout with the island.
