4 reviews for The Islands Golf Center
It was dark...and gloomy...
I wonder what happens when it rains and the water level rises... do the islands disappear?
Overall it was ok, but being close to the far-side, it was rather dark and you can only see the islands, nothing beyond it. The balls plop then float.. that was interesting. I guess the cost for the basket of balls is average.

Frustrated with playing Golden Tee at the local Pizza Joint and getting kicked out because I was punching and screaming at the machine. I took my Tiger Wood ass over to Islands Golf Center. I've been eyeing this place for a while because I'd drive pass it everyday from work.
Now you can't help but get flashbacks of Caddie Shack and Happy Gilmore scenes when you're at this place. I mean the putting green is the most sorriest thing I've ever seen! It's like they purposely leave it alone so people could actually laugh at it.
The attendant that handed me over my Large Bucket of balls, $7.50 is pretty El Primo Cheapo, didn't even bother greeting me! Pretty much looked at me with total and utter disrespect. Dude..Not my fault you're a loser handing out balls while I have my fun whacking them!
Anyways, made my way over to one of the 30+ stalls. I instinctively choose the furthest stall because my friend Miller and Lite was chillen in my bag waiting to see the light of day.
Now what I like about Islands is that they have..well..Islands to aim for. You have BIG islands at 180 yards. small itty bitty islands 30 yards out. If you feel so inclined wait for the boat dude to retrieve the balls out of the murky water and just take aim!

Rye's Notes:
- Balls are lighter and not standard golf balls because..drum roll..it floats
- Bring alcohol and chill at the furthest stalls. "Serious" golfers are at the entry way
- Bring a jacket it could get a bit cold at night

This place is fun to come out with friends and hit some balls. I love the concept! It's always great when you're the first to hit the target island! Nothing fancy but definitely worth at least one visit. Great date spot!

the concept of this place is unique to say the least. once you're past that then there is nothing special about this place. i gave it three stars because they have a small roger dunn here which is nice. nothing fancy just the bare bones. i still practice here.
