Very Nice Layout!

A lot of very scenic views. Great piece of land the course was built upon. Love the fact the greens weren’t aerated like many of the other area courses. Greens were in great shape. Some of the fairways were in rough condition, but still very playable.

ALWAYS FANTASTIC GOLF EXPERIENCE

Playing here for over 20 years. Only reason 4 Start for conditions was the course was wet with the rain BUT very playable. Greens will get quicker when it dries out. THE MOST scenic course in the area and for under $50 one of the BEST values in the nation for an experience. It is called Island Point for a reason. You will be thrilled with going to play.

Good course, views of river

Some tight fairways, but overall was fair. Par 3's are set up at good yardages, makes for enjoyable shots. River winds throug course, but rarely comes into direct play. Views are great, greens were smooth.

Great layout and value

It was a rainy day but the course was in great shape. A little muddy in the rough but that was to be expected. Greens were smooth and true and the fairways were in great shape.

Nice practice area and the starter was really good.

Only complaint was there was no water to drink on the course and the halfway house was closed.
