I was hesitant to play it due to no recent reviews, but I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The staff was very welcoming. Tee boxes: 10/10, fairways: 8/10, fringe areas and greens: 9.5/10. The greens rolled true and were almost perfect, even though they punched them about a week prior. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend playing here. I did think the price was just slightly high, but it won’t stop me from coming back every time I’m in town.

I play this place about once a year and have been for about 6-7 years. Reports of this place’s demise are exaggerated. Played in May 2025 and the course is in great shape. There are a few spots where you can tell it’s healing from disease (a few greens and fairways), but all in all is still well maintained.
The layout is awesome and challenging, with some tight holes thru the trees, some open holes with elevation change, and some holes around water hazards. 17 is the signature hole that oversees Lake Champlain. When the tall grass grows out it’s a very beautiful course, and in Spring it’s a very peaceful setting.
It is one of my favorite courses in the Michiana area, and I play it when I can, and am in the area. It does appear they aren’t operating the restaurant all the time, but they do have the snack bar. While I think the price is fair, given its location, I think it struggles to get enough play. That being said, this is still a great place to play, and if it were in a different market would likely be considered a “destination” or resort course.
I will keep my playing it when I’m in the area, it’s a ton of fun!

A nice trek. Greens were in good shape, but the tee boxes could use some TLC. Overall, a very nice experience

1st time here, and it is a nice course.
It is a 50.00 course at best. It was in rough shape. 18 was really bad,
The restaurant is closed, and the snack bar is lacking.
Probably will not come back

Went to play island hills the evening of 7/6/22 the course is in really rough shape.. I mean really rough shape. Tons of dead spots on fairways, greens and tee boxes have weeds on every hole.. No where near the kind of course that I remember, while it has been a few years since I’ve played here I don’t know what happened to this course. It honestly is very sad to see a nice track like this turn into a low grade course.. especially at the rates they charge, I really hope something is done about this ASAP. Probably won’t be back for a while.
