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.

Some long challenging holes for a senior golfer......
Will play this course again.........it's on my list of TO PLAY EACH YEAR.....
This course has not recommande
The price is not valve for this course. The bunkers is so dark and the grass nô good to play.
Interesting Layout
Threat of rain kept players away, so I played in under 3 hours. Some holes were a little tricky as what appeared to be a good line could put you in trouble. A little course knowledge would help you score better the next time you play.
Greens were slower than other courses I played and conditions were fine, but not great. Overall the course was a good value.
Fun layout in good condition
I have played here a couple of times previously and enjoyed the course on those occasions also. Not overly long but still challenging enough. Very good condition.
nice course
some of the greens were in bad condition, driving range was small
Great value for vacationers
Only a 25 minute drive from Hilton Head Island. Best golf value in the area. Greens were excellent and fairways great. Will play there again when on vavation.
Very enjoyable
I was pleasantly surprised at the conditioning and variety if the holes at Island West! Greens were great and my son and I who are low handicapers found the course challanging and fun from the blue tees. We will return soon.
great value
The course was in great shape considering it rained all day the day before. Greens were a bit slower than usual but true. was paired up with 3 other players had a good time!! I will return!
Great value for the money
Staff wonderful. Left my major clubs & shoes in another golf bag at home (Michigan) & staff was generous to lend me a driver & putter.
Good value for costs
This is a fairly interesting course/has character and is definitely worth playing for the cost. A great course to play last day of vacation when headed back from HH given it is 10 miles or so of the island
island west brown golf
great course for the money nice staff greens a little slow
Nice layout for development track course!
I liked the layout and the variety of hole designs on this course. There are several blind shots from the tee into unseen hazards that you have to know about - so when I play it again I will be better prepared. The course could use a little TLC particularly what they call sand bunkers. Overall a very good value and I'll be back. Great staff - friendly and helpful!
Good value. Nice course.
Rain the night before left a wet course with several cart path only holes. Course was in excellent condition. Staff friendly and helpful. Would play again ... on a dryer day.
Course needs work
Fairways too rough too short not overseeded. I was disappointed. This was one of my favorite courses. Pine crest was sooooo much better.
Great golf for the price
Easy of access, great design plenty of fun. Challenging at times. Greens where in excellent condition
Greens are great but firm
fun course, gets tight with trees. Off of fairway conditions not so good, but other than that a great course for less money.
very nice layout
Very friendly staff. Nice course, decent shape for this time of year
Great value, enjoyed the round and the weather
Great Value. Part of Brown Golf Mgmt courses. Least expensive of the 4 and a little farther of the island but worth trying.
Great Course
I gave this course 4 stars. Could have been 5 but the gentleman in the pro shop was not friendly at all. Maybe he was having a bad day , but another in our fore some said he was rude the last time he played the course. Other than that the course was pretty wet from previous nights rain. It was in fantastic shape and the rest of the staff was great.
Good course for the money
Fairways in good shape as were most greens. Some greens needed a little work, but overall quality was good for this time of the year. Play was a little slower than usual, but some fairways were cart path only due to drainage issues. Staff could have been a little friendlier.
