Island West Golf Club

Course is still recovering from storm damage. The greens are rough but getting better. There are some wet spots and the tee boxes need to grow back. the low fees makeup for the rough condition. The staff was very friendly and the pace of play was average for a morning round.

Nice layout, fairways in decent shape but the greens were spotty at best and the bunkers hadn't been taken care of. For the money it was worth it. Hopefully with a few more weeks of warm weather the greens will fill in.

Was great time and course was good. Will recommend and return to play.

The course looked great from the road. Course was in decent shape. Tee boxes were in average shape. Greens looked good from the road; however they are very patchy and painted green. Great course if you can get a hot deal.

Nice coourse. Quite challenging. Great value. Would recommend.

I have played this course many times over the last 10 years and it was in the worst shape I have seen it during that time. Greens were horrible. Little grass on fairways. Rained on two holes during round. It rained again overnight and then I played the course again the next day with another group. Greens improved tremendously. fairways were slightly better with the grass beginning to grow again. Amazing change in 24 hours. This is a nice course and will continue to play there.

Good value for the money, but you get what you pay for. The course is not in good shape right now. Lots of weeds on the fairways and greens are very bumpy.

Course is dry and looks like they aren't watering or putting any seed down. Fairways have bare spots. Tee boxes are spotty and greens don't have much grass and are sprayed to look green, I have always loved this layout, but Brown Management is skimping on all of its course conditions. Played the round in under 4 hours.

Sorry, We were forced to cancel due to injury of my playing partner on the first hoe,

This is the worst golf course I have ever played. The greens were in terrible shape and appeared to be painted green. We visit the Hilton Head area frequently and have played most of the local courses. Do yourself a favor and avoid this one! The locals refer to the course as "Island Worse". The entire course felt like you were playing on a solid rock. I would not recommend this course to anybody.

C ourse is ok if want to go,out and play if your coming off the north winter . Right now fairways are hard and dry. grens very bumpy, hard.. If you haven't played and you don't want to spend a lot of money this course might be for you. At this point and time would only recommend for above reasons

Island West can be a great course. The layout has many challenging holes. Staff is courteous and efficient.
Some greens have many burned out patches and many tee boxes are dried out and without grass.
Most sand traps have insufficient sand and are "hard-panned".
BUT, this course can be an excellent course with a little more investment.
Hopefully, being early in the season (we played in mid-March), these issues will be addressed.
Great value for the money!!

I have played this course many times over the years and have always enjoyed the layout and found the conditions very good for the price. Last time was March 2016. What a difference a year makes. Condition of greens was very poor. Tee boxes and fairways were sparse, hard and dry. And to top it off, pace of play was horrible. No ranger to be found on the course, no starter.

Food inside the clubhouse was good for the money and the few staff people we found were very friendly. If not for the super low price we paid to play it would have horrible. I guess you get what you pay for.......

good course for the price. Greens not in great condition. Brown needs to put some money into more regular maintenance

I have been in the Bluffton area for a week and have played 5 courses, all of them aside from Island West have been in excellent shape for this time of year. The greens have been rolling really good until we got to Island West. They do not even have grass on them. It is dirt that is painted green to make the course look appealing from the road. Don't waste your time. Spend the extra $10 and play at Pinecrest.
