I’ve played Island Green a few times over the last year and this course is improving daily. New management took a struggling golf course and sky rocketed. I remember sand traps that were basically all grass, torn up tee boxes and fairways, and greens that had seen better days. All of those are getting better as the days go on. This course has one of the best, if not the best, layouts in the area. Very challenging, sloping golf course. I can’t wait to go back!

I've played Horton several times and will continue to go back. I can play 18 with a cart for under $40 even on the weekends. The course is almost never busy, especially during week days. If you're a beginner golfer or just looking for an easy round, Horton Smith is the place as every hole is strait with no big turns. My only complaint is on the back 9. The last 4 holes is pretty much the exact same par 4. Some of the greens on the course are tiny, but they're all well kept during season.

This course has an awesome layout, very hilly leaving some challenging lies for approach shots. Grass is growing rapidly in the sand traps, the greens are slow, and the tee boxes are thinned out. Good course for the money. If the course was well groomed, it would be one of the top courses in the area.
