Island Pointe Golf Club: River Islands

This Arthur Hills design is situated on 175 acres along the banks of the French Broad River, less than 20 miles east of Knoxville. The river plays a central role throughout, bisecting the layout and providing a uniquely natural setting. The Zoysia fairways are often regarded as some of the best in the area, giving golfers great lies as they look to attack the small, subtly undulating greens. With weekday rates under $50, Island Pointe is a great, affordable public option.
