Island West Golf Club

My impression is the front is tighter than the back. Not good for my game (lol). Overall course is nice, tee boxes are very sad, fairways are fair to good, greens are good and roll very well, rough is, well, rough and bunkers are okay but a bit firm under the first layer of sand. Pace was good, 4 hour round, and staff was very helpful. Would love to play again and try to tame the front.

Course was wet so cart path only. Because of that we had the whole course to ourselves and finished 18 in 3 hours and change.

We are senior golfers and started on the white tees. I would recommend playing the grays at about 5500 yards as that provides a much more enjoyable, yet challenging round.

I think they’re trying to improve the course so I would play again in normal dry conditions.

It is obvious that they are working on the course, we saw staff sanding and repairing greens so what we experienced may not be fair to the course. However, sand traps were rock hard, my wedge bounced off the hard base.and greens were in a poor condition with bare spots and patched repairs .

There are several very tight holes on the course and when the grass is back to summer conditions, it could be a challenging pleasure to play.

Apparently the course is trying to get back into shape after some issues and there is still a ways to go. Tee boxes are often turtlebacked with sand filling in spots trying to grow grass. Greens are also variable with spots without grass or sand areas, making putting a challenge to figure out when the ball will skid on earth versus be pulled by the grain. It also appears that a good number of the sand bunkers have been converted to grass, perhaps as they are easier to maintain? If you get a deal on the tee time it might be worth it, particularly given the challenges faced by other local courses at this price point. Else, give it another spring to grow in.

Wed at 1pm tee time and I was alone on the course. Wed is a slow day and it was cool and overcast so no players. I figured it is not the most popular course in the area due to overall condition, which was fair to poor overall - about average for a public course.

We enjoyed the round. We were in the later afternoon so we practically had the course to ourselves. We had a hard time finding the tee markers. We enjoyed that it was a challenging course especially as it was our first time but it won’t be our last time to play there.

Choose this course because of a discount and it's rating. Course layout was pretty good, but two holes were alongside the highway. Greens were extremely slow, somewhat inconsistent, and not in the best repair. Fairways seemed below average compared to a nearby course.. Bunkers were good. Played in the afternoon and the course was uncrowded

Would play again only for a significant discount.

Was advised on arrival that it was cart path only because they were putting down fertilizer. My first time I've ever seen this in my 55 years of playing and working on a golf course

I played here two years ago and the course was not in good shape. What a difference! Very good conditions now. Highly recommend you try it. If you played it before, you will be very pleased with the improvents. Tees, greens and fairways all much improved.
