A great golf course

Island point GC is always in good condition, fairways and greens are nice. They have two par 3's where you hit over the river, hit it well make a birdie hit it poorly make a triple. I play this course 12 to 14 times a year, we always enjoy this place.

A gem in the rough.

Staff was friendly and professional. Course layout was great and challenging. Need to place your drive in fairway. Anything in the rough will leave you thinking on your next shot. Greens were also in great shape. Overall, it was great day.

Great course

Enjoyed playing today on a well conditioned course. Had to use every club in my bag several times. Course layout was as good as any, very challenging, large greens with plenty of pin placements. Great time, will play every time I come to the area.

Best course in Knoxville

This course is my favorite by far in the Knoxville area. I grew up playing many country clubs and besides the speed of the genes being somewhat slower than what I am used to. The course is beautiful and love the Price

Island point

Literally nothing open at 4 pm with 40+ golfers on the course that i saw. No drinks nothing. In play rough’s desperately need to be cut to 3-5 inches not 40. Other than that course was great! Expensive compared to surrounding courses but thats why there were dozens of open tee times and all other locals were full.
