Island Pointe Golf Club

The course was in fair condition. To compensate for the gimmicky layout/holes, there should be a card showing each hole layout. All other amenities were in poor condition. Carts, bathrooms, bridges, cart paths-were dirty or unkempt. Employees were kind.

Beautiful course with great upkeep but not for the beginner golfer.

One of the most interesting and beautiful courses Ive played. I was visiting the area and would come back just to play there. It’s a great deal.

Was paired up with another single this morning, and had a very enjoyable experience. Humidity got to me over the last few holes, but the course has a lot of positive traits going for it:

- Very friendly staff
- Beautiful and challenging layout, with 5 different tee boxes for golfers of all ages and abilities
- Greens were in very good shape, and very puttable. Fairways were also in great shape, as well.
- Course is not long, but accuracy on many holes is at a premium. The course also will reward you for hitting a good shot at the right times.
- Pace of play was 3.5 hours, excellent when considering the weather.

Couple of negatives:

- Didn't look like pin placements were changed for a few days, as the edges were frayed and in rough shape
- Certain areas for shots that were slightly off were very penal, and the bunkers were hardpan with no sand in them.
- Halfway food and drinks didn't have much to offer.

Would love to play this course in the spring or in the fall, when it isn't 92 and muggy - but I enjoyed this course a lot, and would recommend this to anyone looking for courses to play in the area.

This is a great course as are all the Arthur Hills courses that I have played. A lot of variety of holes.

The course is in great shape in a BEAUTIFUL location. Plenty of photo spots and wildlife to be seen. The old "keep it in the fairway" saying is true here, the rough is long and deep. Its a great spot that I will definitely return to!

Wonderful golf course hadn’t played it for a few years but was very impressed even with all the rain they had everybody we saw there was very welcoming and friendly we live in Kentucky and are definitely going back

Love the course layout and scenery. The only negative response was to the depth of the rough. The first two cuts were fine but the third was 10”+. There was no chance of finding you ball in that stuff.

Visiting from out of town and only got to play a couple courses in the area. Was really glad I chose this one as one of them. It’s as difficult as advertised, but more interesting than most courses I have played. Signature hole is great, and having the river running along the majority of holes creates both a challenge and some great views.

What a great layout - several holes depart the mainland for separate islands in the middle of the French Broad River. Wish they would cut the rough around the greens a bit shorter, but if my game were better ...... ? Anyway, don't miss the opportunity to play this great gem!

A very fun course, especially the “island” holes in the middle of the French Broad River. Very clever design work! Greens in great shape, but I wish they would cut the rough a bit shorter, especially around the greens. Nonetheless, this is a terrific track and we WILL be back!

Everything is great about this course. Great layout, great fairways, greens are typically slower here but they’re in great condition. Best layout around.
