Overview
Perhaps best known for its membership that includes numerous professional golfers, Isleworth is an exclusive private club in the Orlando area. Tiger Woods lived adjacent to the driving range and spent much of his practice time at Isleworth in the mid-2000s. The course was originally designed by Arnold Palmer in the mid-1980s, but Steve Smyers led a significant redesign in 2004 that lengthened the course and made it more challenging. The course traverses rolling terrain and has a challenging set of green complexes with plenty of movement. Trees line most holes, most notably at the long par-3 second, where overhanging limbs on both sides creates a claustrophobic corridor playing to a long narrow green. The 2014 Hero World Challenge was played at Isleworth, where Jordan Spieth lapped the field just months before his historic 2015 campaign.

Review
“One of the premier golf communities in Florida, Isleworth features a championship course from Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay. The course and its facilities are immaculately kept and very aesthetically pleasing. With many flashy bunkers and water hazards, this is difficult Florida golf with more elevation changes than expected. The greens overall are quite varied and well-designed and are a standout feature at Isleworth. The course is very good and the experience here is even better."

“One of the best in central Florida. Course is always to top notch shape, service is spot on. Also have the golf motorcycles to use like golf carts. Isleworth is a difficult test of golf but a rewarding round of golf."

“An overall fun place to play. A little challenging for the higher handicap player but the conditioning, beauty, and excellence in service still make for an enjoyable day."
