Island West Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Designed by Clyde Johnston and popular PGA Tour star Fuzzy Zoeller, the Island West Golf Club is a course built around natural marshland and follows the landscape presenting a rolling, tree-lined course.
As one would imagine a course with Zoeller's fingerprints, Island West in Bluffton was built to be a fun, entertaining play, and has succeeded in its mission. Playing to 6,803 with a 129 slope rating from the tips, it's a solid test for the skillful yet playable for the not-so skillful.
Water comes in to play on 10 holes here, so the bold will have many risk-reward opportunities. Accuracy off the tee is a must on many of the tree-lined holes, yet other holes feature wide fairways. Island West is exactly the type of course you'd imagine Zoeller being a part of, but Johnston's expertise also shines through.

Isle Be Back!
Enjoyed the round. Surprized there weren't more people on the course.
Fairways and greens are suffering from the same drought the other courses here are.
Staff was friendly and accommodating.as we were allowed to go off early.
Needs work
Nice layout tee boxes, fairways, greens good condition rest of place leaves a lot to be desired. Ugly to put it in a word. Clubhouse and grill is in great condition. Pace of play restrictive. Never saw a single marshal. Signage from green to tee is awful, especially at the turn. Now that I know what to expect I’d play again without disappointment.
Nice golf course
Conditions were good, pace of play wasn’t too fast. Never felt rushed. Moderate difficulty level with nice big fairways.
Great place to coach my grandson!
I brought my 14 yr old grandson to practice on the range and play 9 holes. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier and the course wasn’t too crowded so I could play best ball with my grandson and have time to talk over each shot. Great time out on the course.
Rough Round
This course has a really nice layout and potential. I’ve played it three times, and each time it’s been the same conditions. Greens and tees need better maintenece and it was really hard and thin on and around the fairways.
It’s a good value, but there are other options. The guy in the clubhouse needs to realize people come there to relax and enjoy their day, not to get barked at and hurried.
The course has a good layout
I'm impressed with the staff, the layout including the moguls. A few of the greens had "bad" spots, but everything will be very good in a few weeks. A great course for seniors.
Has potential - but conditions bad
This course has potential. The layout has a lot of character. But the conditions, tee to green, were awful. And it's spring. Things likely to get worse when it gets hot. Some tee boxes had little to no grass. The fairways were extremely hard - with sparse grass at times. A center cut drive did not mean a decent lie. The bunkers were hard. The greens were fast but very spotty. At the end of my round, a couple of locals told me the other courses close by were a similar price for better conditions. Do your homework on this one before committing.
