Island Pointe Golf Club

I was told that they had revamped the golf course, it was 15 years ago when I last played here. what a pleasant surprise, fairways were very accessible from the tee. The most impressive thing was the approach to the greens were very visible, and made yardage reading very easy. it’s not easy to make a golf course that really invites you to hit your approach shots the green we had a great time.

Had a great time this weekend playing your course. Lost a lot of balls so be ready. Water holes everywhere and bring your camera for awesome pictures.

Course was in great condition, challenging layout, but overall great value for money.

The couse was in excellent condition. Greens and fairways were awesome. It does have high grass in the rough, much like a links course, so accuracy is important. There is quite a bit of water in play, also. This was a challenging, beautiful course that runs along the river.

The clubhouse isn't available at the turn, so bring plenty of water. There was water coolers accessible in only one place.

Beautiful layout but course could use some upkeep, Cups had alot of dead spots around the edges / damage to the edge. Staff were very friendly but had no drinks other than water or soda on the course, carts did not have GPS

Beautiful course with great upkeep but not for the beginner golfer.

The course was in fair condition. To compensate for the gimmicky layout/holes, there should be a card showing each hole layout. All other amenities were in poor condition. Carts, bathrooms, bridges, cart paths-were dirty or unkempt. Employees were kind.

One of the most interesting and beautiful courses Ive played. I was visiting the area and would come back just to play there. It’s a great deal.

I am a student at UTK and have been coming to this course all 4 years of school, it truly is a gem of a course and has been consistently getting in better shape(and costing more) over the years but I would recommend this course to anyone who isn’t trying to walk the course as they don’t allow that

Beautiful, well maintained course. It is not for beginners or high handicappers such as myself. If you fall into one of those categories, better bring some extra balls.

If you are a decent golfer, you will love this course.

Was paired up with another single this morning, and had a very enjoyable experience. Humidity got to me over the last few holes, but the course has a lot of positive traits going for it:

- Very friendly staff

- Beautiful and challenging layout, with 5 different tee boxes for golfers of all ages and abilities

- Greens were in very good shape, and very puttable. Fairways were also in great shape, as well.

- Course is not long, but accuracy on many holes is at a premium. The course also will reward you for hitting a good shot at the right times.

- Pace of play was 3.5 hours, excellent when considering the weather.

Couple of negatives:

- Didn't look like pin placements were changed for a few days, as the edges were frayed and in rough shape

- Certain areas for shots that were slightly off were very penal, and the bunkers were hardpan with no sand in them.

- Halfway food and drinks didn't have much to offer.

Would love to play this course in the spring or in the fall, when it isn't 92 and muggy - but I enjoyed this course a lot, and would recommend this to anyone looking for courses to play in the area.
