Great and challenging track! Very well maintained as well! Has a good layout with just about every hole being challenging but rewarding! If you want a chance to use every club in your bag go here!
I would not recommend coming if you’re a beginner or new to golf!

Came to town for the weekend from Northern Indiana. Decided to book a tee time for Friday morning 9/5 at Island Pointe with the wife. The course was in great condition the fairways were smooth and the greens were all in amazing shape. The course is very challenging but also very fun, it really made me play shots and not just smash my way around the course. The carts were very nice the only way I can think to make them better is the addition of GPS but most just use an app on their phone anyways. The pro shop was nice and accommodating the person we interacted with at the counter was very nice and made sure we knew where we needed to go and when to be at the first tee. The driving range was a little small but did the job and hitting surface was smooth as can be. The starter at the number one tee gave some serious grandpa vibes in a good way he was a pleasure to talk to. Told us about the course and what to look out for. Explained where the tees were for my wife on some of the holes, and also warned us about the storm damage they were still recovering from that happened last season none of which affected the play of the course just cart paths at this point. From the time we arrived to the time we left everyone was nothing but professional and welcoming including the two gentleman that we were grouped with for our tee time. Can’t wait to play this course again the next time I find myself in the area.

Most fun I've had shooting a 96.
Im normally a mid 80s golfer. Was in town from AZ dropping off my son at college. Wife and I took a few extra days to golf and explore. I get why its listed as one of the hardest courses in the state. Drop offs, funky lies, deep grass, water to carry. From talking to folks at clubhouse (who were awesome), on this course, mid HC like me, sub 100 is great. I had a great time. Thankfully, paired with some locals who knew the course.
This will absolutely be must play when I'm in the area.

Played 18 holes here yesterday, and we had a great time! Fairways and greens were in great shape, and the course was very scenic from start to finish. The course is challenging in all the right ways. Absolutely recommend playing here!

This is a good solid course. Nice practice facilities, great staff in the pro shop, and the course itself is in good condition. Although, the course itself is in good shape, some of the surrounding river banks along the holes have a considerable amount of debris on them. I was told a storm brought it in, so I totally understand. The difficulty of removing some of that stuff looks pretty significant since there are some major trees and giant pieces of metal.
Despite that, the course is a lot of fun. Challenging forsure, so keeping the ball straight off the tee is a must. Plenty of shots on par 3s where water is in play, which makes what would be a usual basic par 3 into a much bigger mental challenge.
It’s a little off the beaten path, which made it great for pace of play. We didn’t run into anyone ahead of us the whole round.
I think this is a must play course if you’re in the Knoxville area. I’ll definitely be back.
