Elite Course Option for East Tennessee
I cannot recommend Island Point enough! New club house is super nice and the staff was very kind. Course was in immaculate shape even with ongoing construction. Overall a 10/10 experience I cannot wait to go back to this beautiful course
Amazing value!
This course was hit by Helene and showed true resilience! A great value! Friendly staff and amazing views!
Nice course but it's under renovation
Nice course once the renovation work has been completed! The course was damaged by flooding. Many cart paths are temporary and very bumpy. I think when you play it next summer it could be looking good !
Amazing Layout - beautiful river views - challenging course
The course had been highly affected by the recent horrific flooding that took so many lives.
It is remarkable that the course is actually playable.
It is a truly wonderful layout, with many very challenging and beautiful golf holes. A true masterpiece design that follows the river both on front nine and back nine.
I would highly recommend playing this course, being a skilled golfer will help you appreciate the course even more. I will definitely be back
The course appears to be doing some work and hopefully in the future it’ll pay off for them. But for what’s going on right now they should be charging less for the course. The young guy in the pro shop was standoffish when asking questions about the course. We were told the food truck was open on the turn and turns out there was no one there working it. Have played this course in the past and it’s been enjoyable, but doubt that I’ll return to play it anytime soon with lots of other options in the area.

Ryan,
Thanks for taking the time to offer a review of Island Pointe.
You are correct that Winter work has begun around the golf course, and our Clubhouse renovation is beginning as well. Each of these projects are designed to improve the customer experience and do not directly affect the playing conditions of the golf course. Based upon customer input, we are continually reinvesting in the course and thrilled with all of the positive feedback on these improvements. This is the time of year when we seek to complete larger scale projects for the upcoming golf season. We apologize if you feel these improvements negatively impacted your playing experience.
Specifically addressing your other concerns, it appears you purchased a HOT DEAL from Golf Now on Nov. 20th (a great rate), and the day itself was overcast with light drizzle at the course. While we wish you would have experienced the course on a better weather day, we hope you understand we remained open for the patrons (like yourselves) who still wanted to play. Since it was a bad weather day with limited golfers, the operators of the food truck decided to not open and this was communicated to all 10 golfers that played that day. In addition, it is posted on our daily board in the ProShop. Knowing there were so few golfers on the day you played, we are confused as to how pace of play could have been slow. Please help us understand as it appears you started at 11:10am and the closest group to you was one hour ahead. We take reviews seriously and appreciate that you have also played in the past on July 7, 2024, and welcome the chance to discuss your opinions further. From your comments, it seems we could've made your experience more enjoyable and we want to know more. Please accept our apologies and give us a call at 865-933-0100.
Thanks again for the feedback.
Great course
Only negative is stupid younger new golfers with no etiquette, got drilled in jaw by group behind me....so watch your back

Good morning, we are so sorry to hear that you were hit in the jaw by a golf ball. We definitely want to learn more about this issue and make it right. Can you please give us a call in the pro shop at 865-933-0100 or you can email us at golf@islandpointegc.com. We hope you are okay and hope to hear from you soon.
Best Course in Knoxville
I'm never disappointed after playing here, even if I play bad. Fairways and greens are perfect.
Island Pointe
Great layout with several unique holes
Friendly staff and good pace of play
Greens were not fast but rolled well
Island Pointe
Course had great bones and I played during fall leaves color change. Unfortunately I was not aware of damage from Hurricane Helene. Staff are trying to get everything back in shape but it will be a while. Greens and fairways were still in great shape but tee boxes need some work as well as traps. Some hard scape features were knocked out by Helene.
Excellent
Considering damage they experienced from hurricane they have done an amazing job
would play again
excellent course , very friendly staff. plan on returning next year.
Played on vacation a few weeks after Helene- several holes along the river suffered some fairly significant flood damage but largely aesthetic and did not affect course playability much at all. Fairway/green conditions were remarkable on these holes considering they were completely under water, honestly would have never known. The rest of the course higher above the river was in fantastic condition as well. Very impressive the staff managed to have 18 holes open as they lost several cart paths/causeways and brought in many loads of rock to accommodate course navigation. Will likely take some time to return the holes along the river to the natural beauty they had before the storm, but don't let that discourage you from playing a great track.

Thank you for your review.
We are VERY fortunate that the flooding from Hurricane Helene only impacted the cart paths between our islands. The playing surfaces were spared, for which we are very thankful! Our team worked hard to haul stone and gravel to temporarily rebuild those paths, and we apologize the path has become bumpy again. Since receiving your feedback we have already smoothed out the gravel. Once we complete our Winter work we will start a permanent solution for those cart paths.
In addition to the Winter work, we have begun our Clubhouse renovation too. We hope to have everything ready for April!
