The expansion provides an added perk for golfers with new expansive golf suites. The spacious 675 sq ft suites are complete with a King, double queen and a common area, all with incredible views of the Sweetgrass Golf Course – perfect for foursomes looking for added space and a fun environment.

Adding these new rooms and golf suites will be an exciting lodging option and make their overall experience that much more enjoyable,” said Tony Mancilla, General Manager of Island Resort & Casino.
