St. Ives Golf Club

First played your back in 1995 when they first open because it was a five star cores rated by golf digest. Wish I used to subscribe to back in the day, and of course .I first played your back in 1995 when they first open because it was a five star course rated by golf digest, which I used to subscribe to back in the day, and of course one tiger was at his peak. And I still remember paying actually $45 to play that course back then 28 years ago so when I get a deal and pay $46 and today’s day and age in 2023 it is a great value so don’t get me wrong it is a great value compared to what somebody’s other low and courses are charging nowadays you just have to buy your Greens fees on tee off or golf now. The course is still just as nice as ever except the sand traps are not raked like they used to be and it does get a lot of plays so yeah I don’t remember as much as I played it only two years ago and I do remember there are a lot of elevated greens so I played the weights which is really only comes out so I think 5700 yards so I was hitting a lot of wedges into the greens so that end of it is , not the most challenging, but yeah, shooting an 83 at my age is pretty good. I was happy with that we got caught up behind couple old people that were holding things up on the front line. Thankfully they quit after the front nine I played Tony Moore couple months ago I do like the the woods and the tree lines here but toy more I guess has a little bit better overall when I pay over $100 no I just don’t have that kind of money but for $46 it was a fantastic value so anyway thanks for being on tee off and it’s really kind of neat. It’s right near all the Amish people up there and you get to see them harvesting and then you go play a really nice course and all those lakes there are pretty so anyway yeah thanks again my car just about ran out of juice a Young Inn brought a new one out. He didn’t smile much but anyway, the old lady behind the counter. It’s not the friendliest either so anyway we’ll be back it’s worth it.

Slow pace of play , no ranger to keep things moving. Sand traps should be way nicer than they are for this much money.

This is by far the best course I’ve ever played. We played 4 different courses while in Michigan and this was not the most expensive but was by FAR the favorite of our group. The only bad part was how fast we flew through the course. The whole staff was welcoming and great. The starter was super nice and pleasant to speak with. Could never recommend this course enough.

The front and back nine are so different from each other and act as a perfect yin and yang. The beautiful mature woods of the front nine compliment the water centric back nine so perfectly. 10/10 course.

This course was well maintained. The maintenance crew were very friendly when I got lost, the car girl was funny and wonderful to talk to, and the food at the clubhouse was perfect. If I could rate this course, I’d rate it a 10 out of 10.

Very underrated course in my opinion, my personal favorite for West Michigan

I’ve waited 20 years to play this course and my wait was well worth it!!! I first heard about this course in 2003!

Only disappointment was how slow… 5 and a half hours for a 2sum to play 18 is ridiculous, not to mention nothing but candy bars at the turn? A little disappointed in that aspect but the beauty of the course itself still made this a great time

St. Ives offers a unique experience with a course carved through the Michigan woods, trees lining nearly all the first 13 holes. Then a bit of marshland golf for variety. Greens are elevated but reasonably flat, so putting is not too difficult. I suggest drinks and dinner afterward at their fine bar and outdoor dining area. Deer will join your view over the driving range and putting green.

We had a lot of fun! Very nice course. Conditions were perfect. Very hilly course with lots of elevated greens!

Gorgeous. Flawless golf experience. Went Tuesday and today, debating tomorrow as well.
