Great views
Haven’t played this course in years. Has enough challenge to make it interesting and fun, but doesn’t overwhelm you. Granted we played from the forward 2 sets of tees (we’re seniors) so some hazards were not in play. Nice views. Course in reasonable condition for July. Staff friendly. Had a beer/snack cart on the course part of time we went out. No food other than snacks. Not a lot of people on course so this was understandable. Club house clean. Staff wearing masks. Will definitely play course again.
Island Pointe (Formerly River Islands)
I have played this course once or twice a year for 5-6 years.
I have to admit the course conditions were as good or better than previously experienced. The scenery is outstanding and makes it totally worth the effort to play..
There was a 6-some and a family of 5 with grandparents and grandchildren playing a couple of groups ahead of us which made the pace of play very painful.. For that reason, I will have second thoughts about choosing to play when I visit Knoxville.
Beautiful course
Very beautiful course, great layout and friendly staff. Would definitely play again
Needs some TLC
Played Island Pointe for the first time in four years. Not quite the same course I was used to playing. The layout has long been a favorite, but the conditions were not what I remember. In fairness it was hot and dry, so they didn't have the greens mown to the usual speed I was accustomed to. So our group left a lot of putts short. Bunkers, need a lot of work. What they really need is sand. But, it was still fun, but the cart girl was sort of clueless. She drove right by us on several occasions when water was really needed on a 90 degree day. There was none on the course anywhere. So, it was a good day, just not what I remember from a few years ago.
Used to be a nice tract
This place has gone WAY down hill. Not sure what the new owner has planned, but it doesn’t look good. Due to a 3 group back up, we teed off 30 minutes later than our scheduled tee time, the driving range was “closed” at 10 am due to mowing, the greens were to slowest I have ever seen in my life, very unfriendly staff, fairways were in good shape but rough clearly hadn’t seen much attention this year. River Islands used to be a nice tract, it has since become a goat ranch.
The course has a great layout
Overall course was in outstanding shape. The greens were soft and receptive to approach shots.
Terrible Pace of Play
Course is in decent shape, good layout. Pace of play not enforced whatsoever. Took 5 and 1/2 hours to play round of golf! Called club house to address slow play issue and they did nothing. There are way better courses in the area for better value with better staff than to spend money here.
Great day on the course
Traveled down to this course I've played many times over the years since its been built. This golf course is the best course for public play in East TN. Love, absolutely love the layout, the fairways that are zoysia. Putts rolled true with no bounce what so ever.
Great day at the course
Played this golf course today and have to say this course has the best fairways in East TN. Perfect lie everytime on that zoysia grass they have there. Putts rolled true and smooth. Definitely coming back next trip
AWESOME!
Wow! Course is in great condition - in July. Greens were fantastic! Looks like they are continuing to improve the course, it’s huge. The newest addition of the Food Truck is wonderful. They even allow for mobile ordering!!
The greens were great and I love the zoysia fairways. I highly recommend this golf course.
Wow The most beautiful course.
This course is one of the most beautiful courses in Tennessee.

Instead of me writing a big long review just go to the website.
Greens are very slow
Course was wet due to sprinklers. Some greens were even soaked due to sprinklers
Greens are like putting on a fairway.
I have played this course a lot over the past 20 years, and have never seen it in this kind of condition. The greens were like putting on a fairway. The rough was horrible, if you missed a fairway by as little as 3 yards, your ball was lost. I was extremely disappointed in The course today and probably will never play it again.
