And you buried cart paths, tar and all. How much more cost would it have been to remove tree roots and cart paths? And where is the driving range??? With 3 courses, you need a range!!!!!”

“I had my April 2024 wedding here and the experience is almost indescribable. I had this venue booked for more than a year, and as you can imagine, I had a lot of questions. I communicated with the manager, Marnie, more than 100 times via email and I ALWAYS received a quick response with my questions answered even with my events months down the line. The food and staff at this venue are amazing. My wedding went off without a hitch and all the compliments were on the food, friendly staff, and beautiful panoramic views of the beach. The food was great! We served the pecan chicken and a pasta station. The guests raved about the chicken and waffle slider appetizer as well. As soon as the dances were over and we sat at our sweetheart table we were immediately greeted with food from Marnie and a staff member. This goes to show their level of professionalism and attentiveness. The kids' food was also served first and that impressed parents. I was told this was the first wedding that occurred and they were thrilled. I only have wonderful things to say. You will not be let down with any event you host at the Isles. Thanks Marnie!! You guys are amazing. I need to find another event to throw just so I can come back!”

“Such a good little find. My family has seen this place for years but it never looked open when we drove by. Fast forward to tonight-came in around 6pm-just before the rush apparently. Had a great waiter-can't remember his name but he was tall and really on his game. Anyhow-the food and drinks were quite good-we had the snapper special, goat cheese salad, a kids meal and the jerk tacos. All were really tasty, served quickly, correct temperature and great flavor! The cocktails were strong and tasty. All in-we will be back. Super appreciate that they were able to accommodate kids and my food allergies.”
