Island Pointe Golf Club, formerly known as River Islands, sits along the French Broad River in the Kodak community east of Knoxville, offering a riverside golf experience with mountain backdrop views that exemplify East Tennessee's natural beauty. The course was built on river bottom land, giving it a flat, links-influenced character punctuated by water features and the dramatic mountain ridges visible throughout the round. Island Pointe serves as a key public golf option for the eastern Knoxville suburbs and the growing tourism corridor between Knoxville and the Smoky Mountains. The river setting creates memorable risk-reward opportunities, and the course's open design suits golfers who enjoy seeing the ball flight without the obstruction of heavy tree cover. Its Smokies-gateway location makes it a natural complement to golf trips that include the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Originally built and operated as River Islands Golf Club, Island Pointe has gone through rebranding while maintaining its position as one of East Knoxville's most scenically situated public golf facilities. The course was developed to take advantage of the French Broad River bottomland and mountain backdrop, offering a playing experience distinct from the hillier courses common in the region. Its Smokies-corridor location has sustained consistent visitor interest.
