“St. Ives is a dramatic melding of hardwoods, wetlands and steep elevation changes. It all adds up to a golfing experience unparalleled south of the 45th parallel.” – Don VanderVeen, Michigan Golf Magazine

St. Ives offers four sets of tees so that you can make your round as exciting or challenging as you wish. With velvety lush bentgrass fairways, tees and greens, the course is distinguished by water features in 11 of the 18 holes.

The undulating terrain is the result of the course being built on what was once glacial till. St. Ives presents 40 to 80 feet of elevation change so you will experience outstanding views of the surrounding area.
