Island holes (cough* peninsula *cough) are pretty neat. Everyone knows 17 at Sawgrass and I bet a lot of people know about the true island hole at Coeur d'Alene in Idaho, but what other ones exist out there that you like and/or have played?

Played a round at Paiute in Vegas back in 2019 that had a neat one. Can't remember exactly which 18 it was there though. Mis-clubbed my first attempt and it drew hard over the green into the rock embankment behind it, bouncing into the water. My 3rd shot with the right iron was much better. I'd be lying if I didn't say I pulled out a cheap bag ball for that 2nd attempt.

There's a pretty great one at the course in Roatan. Wind is brutal there. Tee box is elevated.

Grand Lake, in Montgomery has one. Par 3, #8, about 150.

TPC (formerly) Woodlands has one. Par 5 #13.

Old Bluebonnet (RIP) had one (or maybe 2)... #10 was, I think (par 5)... and I can't remember if #11 was an island or just an really extended peninsula.

Those are the ones I've played, off the top of my head.

The par 5 at Walden is a peninsula but still a great hole

Pretty sure all the holes in Hawaii are island holes.

#18 green on The Island golf course at Kingwood Country Club is always fun to go for in 2. Also is where Tin Cup hit the pelican from inside the bar at.

My home course, TPC Southwind #11, it is smaller than the green at Sawgrass.

Came here to post this, have been fortunate to play both of the courses at Punta Mita on a couple of occasions. The island green there on the Pacifico course is the only true natural island green in the world. It's an amazing hole on an unbelievable golf course.

That hole only plays about 145 from the tips but I have seen so many players who seldom miss the green from that distance miss so many times. It looks a lot different from that tee box. Then when you get get to the green it looks enormous.
