One Man Scramble..

Booked the tee time, got a great rate. They had a one-man scramble I wouldn't going on before the tee time there were only two groups ahead of me and I joined another single to form a two-some. My tee time was pushed back about 20 minutes as I was told there was a one-man scramble in progress. I realize you can't have everything covered as far as warning people of groups on the course, that being said we had to wait on every tee box. The course condition was excellent they recently aerated but the greens were very puttable. The fairways, tee boxes and bunkers were excellent as usual. This course is well worth your time and drive as it is consistently in great shape. The staff there is always friendly and accommodating.

Wonderful

This was my first time playing this course. When me and my buddy got there, we were told it could be 30 more minutes before we could tee off as there was an outing heading out. Didn't know that beforehand which was a bummer but just went to the putting green to practice. We weren't there more than 2 minutes and the guy from the clubhouse came out and told us to start on hole 4, then come back and play 1-3 as by that time the outing would be done. It couldn't of worked out any better and I couldn't thank that man enough for offering that suggestion! Course was very wide open, so driving wasn't hard but a ton of bunkers. I caught a few of them and a few of the holes have water in play so you do have to keep it straight. Overall, I loved it and the kind suggestion from the worker will draw me back to this course. Only problem, not one time did the drink/food cart come by so when I got back to the clubhouse had to go inside to buy something. Not a big deal just surprising since it was a Saturday. Thanks!

Always satisfying

I like to come out here a few times each year. I has a good time feeling whenever I'm here. Always think I can do better, but the course doesn't let you get passive. Great value with Golfnow, fun course.

This is a good course for the money. I would recommend. The club house grill could be better though.

Spring is a great time to play Ives

For the $25 rate on golf now (that the clubhouse manager was not happy about because it was supposed to be $35) for 18 holes riding you can't beat the value. The course is nothing special, pretty simple and wide open. Great for the higher handicapped duffer like me. The only difficulty out here is that every green is surrounded by 2-3 bunkers so make sure you bring your sand wedge. The course is well maintained , especially in the spring and early summer. Ives has a tendency to get dried out in later summer due to a lack of irrigation. The staff is friendly. The clubhouse is decent. We got out earlyish (6:50) played blue-red and didn't have to wait anywhere. We had great weather and enjoyed a fun round.

Great shape

The course was in beautiful shape, especially for a muni. Fairways short and firm, greens were smooth and fast. Teed off at 11:00 with four, finished in 3.5 hours, never ran into another group.

Good shape with the heat

As dry as it has been the course was in very good shape. Going in the middle of the day with a high of 90 there was no one in front of me until the 16th and they were moving well.

Ives Grove on a hot and humid day in July

We started early morning when there was much dew on the ground. They had freshly cut the fairways and rough. This made for good play. As the sun came out, the greens got faster and a little more difficult. Because of the time of play for us, we managed to finish the Blue Red course in under three hours. This was terrific.

Good course

The course itself is pretty good. A lot of bunkers, so it makes you keep it on a tight line. So the course itself is a pretty good course. The only issue is how they send people out. My tee time was for 10:30, and didn't tee off until 10:40 due to the amount of people. Made the turn, and there were already two groups waiting on Blue #1. I was part of a twosome...and we both hit it decent and don't take a lot of time. It took us 5 hours to play 18 with a cart. The marshall was on the course, telling people to speed up the pace which was nice. But waiting about 10 minutes on every tee box was annoying, and this is when we had another twosome join us after Blue #1.
