A Storied Legacy
Isleworth’s history dates back to the 1880s, when the Chase brothers, pioneers in Florida’s citrus industry, established their presence in the area. In 1984, golf legend Arnold Palmer envisioned transforming this land into a premier golf destination, leading to the creation of the Isleworth Golf & Country Club. Today, the community is renowned for its championship golf course, originally designed by Palmer and later enhanced by Steve Smyers, offering one of the longest and most challenging rounds in the country. As one resident puts it, “Isleworth is Florida’s version of Augusta.”
