The Island course is about 10% shorter than The Irish and is a par 70. The first hole is the longest par four on the front and not exactly welcoming. Fairway bunker right and a large bunker in front of the green. The 2nd is a mid-length par three with a bunker rear left. The 3rd is a well-designed hole. There are three fairway bunkers starting on the right about 200 yards out and they progress on a 45 degree angle towards the middle of the fairway and end less than 100 yards from the green. The long 4th leans right and there is a fairway bunker on the inside elbow and water right. The bunker is about 160 yards out so aim left of it off the tee. The green has bunkers front right and left. The 5th is very similar, bunker right in landing area and greenside front right and left. The 6th is the longest par five and at 509 yards, it really isn’t very long. The right fairway bunker is about 280 yards out. The challenge is the twin bunkers in the fairway starting about 180 yards out and they are about 40 yards long. This, if you are not going for it and/or have a questionable lie, some thinking is required. The 7th is the shortest par four on the course, yet it is the number one handicap hole! The fairway narrows as you get closer to the green. The two-tiered green is perched right behind a creek, I do not understand the rating. The 8th is probably the signature hole. A short par five with an island green. Choose wisely. The front closes with a short Florida par three.

The back starts with a long dogleg left. There is a fairway bunker on the right elbow, be left of that off the tee. The fairway runs out about 90 yards from the middle of the green. The 11th is the shortest hole and while the green is a tabletop I do nut understand how it is rated the 8th hardest hole. The 12th and 13th parallel each other and are very similar in look and feel and are only two yards different in length. The 14th is a mid-length forgettable par three. The straightaway par five 15th is the number 18 handicap hole. They got this one right. Three average shots and you will be putting for birdie. The last par three felt like it was shoe horned in between 15 and 17. The 17th is a good hole. Favor left of center off the tee to avoid the right fairway bunker. The green is tucked right a 45 degree angle behind a water hazard. The long 18th is a demanding finishing hole. The hole bends right and the large fairway bunker on the right is 200 yards out. Behind that there is a water hazard that goes all the way to the green and then another water hazard sneaks in on the left about 140 yards out. To par this, you will need to hit two good shots.
