Stellar course

I selected Island Pointe golf from golf now. In reading some reviews on line, I was apprehensive. The course is one of the best layouts that I have ever played. The nature and beautiful views on the course are equal to a Pebble Beach.....different, but awe inspiring. Overall a great course with superior greens, a challenging and interesting layout. A 9 out of 10 in my opinion.

Tons of character

This course was a fun track. It has a ton of character and some pretty unique features. It needs a some work, but I’m told there plans in place for this. If you’re in the area it’s worth it for the price. Hope to be back, especially if they improve the conditions.

Greens are in amazing shape.

Early spring do the fairways are starting to green up. The restroom I tried was still locked but again it’s early in the season.

Now the green, they were AMAZING!!!!

Soft and spongy. Great for early spring or anytime of year.

Still improving

Island Point has always been a really nice layout. Good fairways and greens (greens were pretty slow today.. probably an 8-9 on the stamp) they have grassed in a few bunkers and improved sand in others but they still have a lot of work to do on the bunkers. Staff is friendly and pro shop has been updated.

Course amenities

Great golf course, very challenging, however, it is lacking in amenities. Bathrooms were locked.

Other than candy bars and bags of chips, real food wasn’t available.

Upgrade in fairways

Course has a fantastic layout but conditions below par. Greens were good for late March. Very challenging & price was Good. Had a good time. No starter pace of play was slow. Just short of 5 he round. Overall very good experience. Awesome Views, Incredibly scenic.

Amazing Greens

Top notch greens and very well maintained course throughout. Some areas under renovation but should be perfect by the end of the season. Immaculate fairways.

Great Course

So a great improvement. Bunkers, cart paths. cutting trees and the list goes on. Pat and all the workers have been doing an amazing job with the course. I'll give it a few more months of work and this course will once again be one the Top Premier courses in the Knoxville area. Keep up the good work and thank you for all you are doing and have done.

Unique layout!

Very unique course compared to other courses in area. Beautiful river views and great shot shaping layouts! Only downfall is pace of play. Will play again though.

Fun course but failing on upkeep

Course layout is a lot of fun and challenging. Course lags upkeep. You can tell they aren’t putting money into the course. You notice this from the beginning with the practice green. No point in practicing on it. But, if you are looking for a bargain course that isn’t flat and challenges you this is the one.
