Bluff Pointe Golf Course

My daughter is playing golf at her middle school and has been playing here since it was Isle Wood when it was a five hole course. Now it’s Bluff Point and the course is now nine holes.
This is not Pebble Beach or even Hank Swanks. It’s a training facility. It’s a place to work on every aspect of your game. The buckets for the driving range start at seven bucks and a large is ten. There are chipping greens and two putting greens.
Once you’ve worked everything out there are nine holes to test it out on. If you need some instruction the owner, Jim Perez, is a PGA certified instructor and has done wonders for my thirteen year-​olds swing. He offers private and group lessons.
In the office they have a few golf accessories, snacks and cold drinks. Marcie has always been awesome with the kids from our school.
I’m giving this place five stars because it is great for what it is. It’s a training facility where you can improve your game at a reasonable price. It’s a place to make your mistakes and correct them without your golf buddies seeing it. It’s a place to get in a bucket of balls and a cold one after work before you head home.
It’s Fresno’s best golf training facility.

This is great for beginners. The place is older however the price to play is very reasonable. It was my first time golfing and I felt like I was able to take my time to learn and not feel intimidated by other golfers. I didn’t see any snacks or food for sale so would be a good idea to take your own. They do sell water. This course may not be up to the standards of serious golfers but if you just want to relax and enjoy the game with nothing serious it’s great. The lady who helped us in the front was so sweet and is the reason I will refer others:)

Great practice facility for non-​country club types. In addition to driving range and putting green, neither of which is kept up very well, there are 5 full length holes in a «U-​shape» around the driving range that you can play for just $ 6 one time or $ 10 for all day. If you want to work on your swing and don’t require pristine greens or bunkers, this is a great stop to make. Hard to find, head north on Milburn avenue just north of Herndon avenue and keep going on to the gravel road when you hit the «End of Road» sign. Down in river bottom. At certain times of the year you can count 100+ rabbits on the 5 hole course.

this isn’t the top of the line range/​course in Fresno. especially if you don’t belong at a country club. it is very peaceful and quite. this place is out in the middle of nowhere. its not like riverpark where you hear cars flying by on the freeway. everything is pretty cheap. they have a little 5 hole hourse and a 9 hole chipping course. not sure of the price but pretty reasonable from what i can remember. there aren’t really any shades out there so better put some sun block before you head out there!

Islewood is a family owned mini golf course driving range. When I say mini, I literally mean mini. They have a 5 hole golf course with two par 4’s and three par 3’s. It does play a little challenging and you’ll get a chance to use all of your clubs including your driver. The first hole is 400+ yards.
Unfortunately, the greens are anything but greens. you’ll find patches of exposed dirt on some hole. On the fourth hole, you can’t even tell the greens apart from the fairway.
But for $ 5 a round or $ 10 and play the course all day. You can’t really complain. Speaking of price, everything here is cheap.
There is also a driving range here but you won’t find any mats there. You’ll be hitting off grass. And don’t let that good hit fool you, you’re hitting to hard as rock dirt that will cause your ball to roll a good 50 – 75 yards. That 170 yard 8 iron you just hit would probably be 120 yards on the golf course.
They also have a mini 9 hole course. the only club you’ll be using is your 60 degree wedge or pitching wedge. It’s designed for you to practice your pitching and chipping.
One thing to be on the look out for is wildlife. During the dog days of summer, you’ll see rabbits (lots of them) lying on their bellies in the shade wondering what the hell are these morons with iron clubs are doing. It’s 110 degrees out. I think I caught one of them smirking at me when I miss the green by about 10 yards left. Cunning bastards I tell you.

FORE!
I haven’t played here in years. It’s still the same place I’ve been since I was a little kid. I took my little brother here to teach him the basics of golf. He played with his friend a couple of weeks ago and had no prior experience. I wanted to show him and this place is perfect, a great nearby driving range and a place where anyone from novice to average plays here. It’s a little run down, the turf maybe dry because the weather here during this time and the summer is HOT! You can really mess up a club if you’re not careful. Thanks Gary for ruining my driver. Oh well, the place is awesome, driving by, you’ll see the lake, on the left and right side of the driveway. It’s also nice that they keep the prices low and they got used clubs for a really cheap price so you can really tear it up.
