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.

Reasonable
If you're just playing to tune up a rusty game and want to economize, this is the place. Played in Feb., so the course conditions might improve later in the season(?) I did speak to someone who has played in season and he said the conditions were not good then.The score card only has yardage and par, no layout help. Some holes have unseen hazards and trouble areas which could easily be addressed with a redesigned score card.
nice course, good value
played here many times, consistent course maintenance, greens very nice for the time of year
extremely wet
course should not have been open it was cart path
only and most of the fairways had standing water
lost 2 balls in sand traps which were actually a
pond. If we knew we would have demanded a raincheck
This course has an interesting layout.
This course has an interesting layout. Nice mix with some challenging carries and strategically placed bunkers, however the traps were in need of sand. Fairways and greens were in good condition. Pace of play was excellent. Good value..
interesting but some holes are aleays rough
It's an interesting layout but some of the holes are always in rough (no grass) shape
course needs attention
Have not played here in years. I don't think I will go back anytime soon. The traps are hard dirt not sand. The course definitely needs some TLC.
Island West
Nice course - got good deal - paired up nice company
Nice course for the money
Island West was in very good shape for the winter. The Bermuda fairways were over seeded with rye and looked nice and played nice. The greens were in good shape. The course is well maintained and very scenic.
Great value
Nice course for the money. Greens were very good. Tees a little shaggy. Fairways very good great value
Great designed course!
Enjoyed playing this course. Even had a member join us to help with course tips! Fairways were well maintained and greens were in great shape. Will play this course again.
Course is not maintained. Terrible shape.
We played different courses all week and by far this course was a cow pasture compared to other courses we played.
Beautiful course. Geared for long drivers.
Enjoyed the challenging and beautiful course. The only complaint is that the sprinklers were on while we're playing two holes. This made playing conditions difficult.
Fair yet challenging
I would come back. Great price. Some holes need work but all the greens are in good shape and fast .Took awhile to get the pace,the practice green is a lot slower so beware
tough but fair
the conditions have improved from the last time we played, especially the greens. because of the improved conditions the course is becoming a good value.
excelllent value
course in good condition with above average greens. Absolutely great value for the money.
Good course that challged some
The course was well laid out. There were some challenges but a it was a good course for any average golfer. Well maintained. Friendly staff.
Fun course to play!
Enjoyed playing Island West. Course was in really good condition.
Good value golf - first time golfing in South Carolina
Course was well maintained. Greens were firm but receptive to approach shots. Good mix of challenge on the holes.
It was my first time playing but my partner had played four times previously.
