Spring Island Club Reviews
The strongest golf claim in the sample is emphatic: one reviewer calls it the best Arnold Palmer design they have ever played. Otherwise reviewers describe arriving — a corridor of century-old live oaks and a monk's statue — more than they describe the holes, along with the private island setting, the homes and courts kept in good order. A small, very positive sample rather than a detailed read on the course.
