LODGING

By far, the most luxurious accommodations for a “Play and Stay” golf experience in Michigan. The incredible luxury, elegance, and comfort available are all highlighted with spectacular views of the golf course and beautiful Lake Templene. You can relax as you view the breathtaking vistas overlooking our Signature 17th Hole. The Golf Villas at Island Hills have the most spacious bedroom and living areas available anywhere in the Midwest.


They are all equipped with refrigerator, electric range, microwave oven, ice machine, and dinnerware.


There are fireplaces and walkout balconies accessible from the living room areas at BOTH the upper and lower levels of all units. Each villa is equipped with Wi-Fi… Cable TV …and flat screen High Definition TVs in every room. Lower level patios are equipped with gas grills for outdoor cooking.


The two spacious living areas in each of our golf villas allow plenty of room to spread out and relax with your friends after a round of golf. OR…you can simply enjoy passing the time playing games and watching TV with your family.


There are meeting rooms in every villa. Our Golf Villas are perfect for Business Retreats, Golf Outings, and Family Re-unions. The Golf Villas at Island Hills have been described by golfers and prominent media members as, “simply one of the premiere golf experiences in the Midwest”.

Recently, Barnsley Resort was dubbed the "perfect weekend getaway" in an article published by WSB-TV Atlanta. We are incredibly honored to receive the recognition, and we look forward to showing more guests an unforgettable experience in Northwest Georgia.

THE COURSE, BY RAYMON HEARN

18 Distinctly Different Holes – Raymond Hearn, award-winning golf course designer and architect, has transformed this 220-acre tract of land into a golf course masterpiece with 18 of the most scenic and unique golf holes you’ll find anywhere.


It includes five of the finest finishing holes you will ever play. The landscape shifts from open meadow prairies to hardwood forests and from farmland to lake views. With 6 strategically placed tees on every hole, Island Hills can be enjoyed by players of all skill levels. Thanks to the richly endowed scenery, each hole has a personality all its own. Ray says, “At the end of your round as you walk away from these unique 18 holes, you have a distinct memory of each and every one.” The area has a wide diversity of landscape. The farmland prairies, low-lying wetlands, rolling pastures, creeks and streams, thick forests, and grassy stretches offer breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Templene.
