Columbine Country Club (CO) has one too. #5 I think. Also a short par four.

The distinction in island greens is the ratio of water to the island. Rarely do the islands formed by creeks seem dramatic — where those tiny dots in a large body of water instill fear to the player.

My best, so far, is Wigwam Blue’s No. 15. Only wish the lake was larger.

Wee Burn Country Club in Darien, Conn., has an island green on a short par four.  The green is surrounded by Stony Brook (the "wee burn"?), which splits around the green.  It's an interesting hole. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Wee+Burn+Country+Club/@41.0932698,-73.4907051,216m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x89c2a0ec1db9d05d:0x3bd8a4710769b5c0!8m2!3d41.0885092!4d-73.4982475!16s%2Fm%2F04zg18j

Ironically the 17th at Suneagles (Tillinghast) in Eatontown, NJ appears on early drawings as an island green, but the right side has since been filled in and connected to an adjoining tee box.  It will be interesting to see if new ownership restores the original 17th during their ongoing renovation efforts.

Rob-I was there a few weeks ago and despite all the restoration work being undertaken it doesn’t seem that is part of the plan.
