Played a college tournament here every year. Very fun. Not overly hard, not easy. Good shot value with a couple cool holes up in the hills.

Played on the way home from the 2025 Masters. Such a unique track. Loved the variability in the layout. I feel like most “river” courses give you a hole or two on the water, but Island Pointe gives you more than you could ask for.
