Say....have any Boneyarders played this course? If so, how did you do on the island green 17th?

BTW: here is another island green hole...in Idaho. Anyone played that one?
There is a machine underneath the green that can move the green toward the shore or away from it.
Maybe the yardage goes from 120 to 170. After your group tees off you get a boat ride out to the green.
Quirky but spectactular. A non-golfing friend spent sometime at the resort and walked over just to see the hole in person.
The scenery is fantastic.

Gee, you managed to pull up an old memory...looks like a lot of the course has been turned into a housing development, but what appears on Google maps to be the 8th of 9 remaining holes at the Minnechaug course in Glastonbury is still the island green I remember.

Ah, here's the course site. They claim it may be the first island green in the nation...I can confirm it was there more than 50 years ago...

..and, you brought back memories, JRRRJ: I lived on Cedar Ridge Drive, across the road and up the hill from Minnechaug golf (on Minnechaug Mtn.) - back in 1960-65, when I was 3-8 years old. A great place to be a little kid: lots of toads, ring-necked snakes, and woods. Wild blueberries, lady slippers, and all that good stuff.
