Beaver Creek is forgiving to mistakes IMO the Island is not. My best ever round was at Beaver Creek (I’m not very good). I played The Island twice before we moved and it kicked my arse both times. One bright spot (I take a lot of chances ) I hit the best shot of my life at The Island on the dreaded number 2. Hit a very good drive and was still about 230 out. Said screw it and pulled out my 5 wood. I had a slight up hill lie and absolutely crushed it with a slight draw which I never do. It rolled to within 3 feet of the hole and I got Eagle. 1 of 4 I’ve ever gotten in my life.

Miss long on 2 green and good luck keeping it on the green coming back. When the hill is slicked off you get a water drop

They can make the pin there unplayable

If a professional golfer played the island he would tear it up. From the tips, the par 3’s are most challenging, but the par 4’s and 5’s would be very gettable. Pro’s would have a wedge in their hand on a par 4 very often.

With little to no wind and dry conditions
1- something over the trees then wedge
2- Can get there in two
3- 180 yards
4- 3 wood then wedge
5- 3 wood then wedge
6- Cut the corner then wedge
7- Can get there in two
8- 190 yards
9- 3 wood then wedge/9iron staying short to avoid trap and water
10- Driver then wedge
11- Biggest challenge.. would probably go iron then have a mid/short iron into the green
12- Can get there in two
13- 160 yards
14- Driver then wedge
15- Drivable
16- 190 yards
17- Driver wedge
18- Can get there in two
