The Catskills' Most Seamless Golf Getaway

Planning a golf trip usually involves three separate bookings: a tee time, a hotel, and dinner reservations. You build a spreadsheet. You calculate drive times between the course and the lodging. You designate drivers for the evening. You hope the logistics hold together.

Island Green changes the math. We are built differently than most courses in the Greenville/Windham/Catskill corridor because we aren't just a golf course. We are an integrated, 100-acre resort: public golf, a 12-room lodge, an on-site BBQ restaurant, and dedicated event spaces.

Our win condition is simple: to be the most clearly purchasable "golf + stay + eat + celebrate" option in the Catskills. Because the underlying pieces already exist, and our signature island green is a genuine differentiator you won't find anywhere else nearby.

The Problem with the Standard Golf Trip

Most public courses excel at golf but outsource everything else. You play 18 holes, then pack your clubs in the trunk and drive 20 minutes to find food. If you're traveling with a group, you're driving another 30 minutes to a chain hotel in a larger town.

The logistics dilute the experience. Instead of relaxing after a round, you're navigating GPS coordinates.

Resorts exist to solve this, but many lean too heavily into the "resort" column—formal dining rooms, strict dress codes, and premium price tags.

The Island Green Solution

At Island Green, the formula is straightforward: park your car once.

Golf: An 18-hole, USGA-rated course (par 71, 6,283 yards, slope 120) with mature hardwood-lined fairways, dramatic elevation changes on the back nine, and one of the area's only island greens.

Stay: The Lodge sits at the center of the resort. Twelve guest rooms, each with a kitchenette. The first tee is a two-minute walk from your door. The restaurant is a one-minute walk.

Eat: Lil' Piece BBQ operates an on-site wood smoker, serving brisket, ribs, and pulled pork, alongside a bar pouring craft cocktails and local draft beers. You walk off the 18th green directly to the patio.

Celebrate: Between the course, the Lodge, and the catering from Lil' Piece BBQ, we host weddings, family reunions, and corporate retreats for 20 to 150 guests. The 100-acre property gives you room to breathe without fighting for space.

"No Dress Code, No Stress"

The appeal of the Catskills is the break from rigid schedules. We believe a golf resort here should match that atmosphere.

Our "no dress code, no stress" positioning isn't just a tagline; it's how the property operates. The Birmann family has managed Island Green for over a century, building a culture that welcomes regulars and first-timers equally. You can play a serious round of golf without a serious atmosphere.

The Genuine Differentiator

There are other courses in the Greene County cluster, some with lodging and some with dining. But few combine an 18-hole layout, an unapologetically casual BBQ restaurant, right-on-the-course lodging, and a visually stunning signature island green hole.

The island green provides that "on-course hook"—a memorable, photogenic challenge that anchors the entire experience. It's the hole you talk about at dinner, and the one that brings you back next season.

How to Purchase the Experience

We've made it as simple as possible. You don't need to coordinate with three different vendors.

You can book tee times online. You can call to reserve a room at the Lodge. If you are planning an event for 20 or an outing for your regular foursome, it all runs through one property.

Call 518-966-5343 or email Info@theislandgreen.com. Tell us what you need: golf, a room, a table for dinner, or all three. We handle the rest.
