Great track ... I want to play again soon.

If you haven't played st Ives and tullymore you really need to put this on your must play list. I loved everything about the experience. If you book on golf now you can get some decent discounted rates. Can't wait to play it again.

This couse is cut through the woods and can be difficult.

You receive a warm welcome from Tyler in the pro-shop. The bag drop folks are polite and get your clubs loaded on a cart. The course is beautifully cut through the woods and marsh and offers many challenging holes. You not only get to golf but you get in touch with nature. Total relaxation from start to finish. Enjoy

Unique

Gorgeous golf course with a nice layout. Great value for the $50 we paid per player. I loved the elevation changes and the risk reward layout from the blue tees. I can't wait to get back.

Wonderful layout

Very nice course with very friendly staff. There are a couple of shots where,as a first time player, you have no idea what to hit or where to aim, but the "Pro's tips" on the cart are very helpful. Greens were very fast. All in all, lots of fun

Heavenly Views

Yes, just like the ad reads.Breathtaking setting with glacial-carved highlands and sprawling wetlands, outstanding course conditions combined with a beautiful backdrop make St. Ives a world-class golf experience. 5 star rating - YES. But, “Top 10 Courses in America for Women” by Golf for Women, NOT. Tullymore is better for women's golfing. 17th hole was home to every goose east of the Mississippi, bring your shotgun.

course maintained and layup shots needed from tee box.

Beautiful front 9 and good pace on front. Back 9 was not as pretty, Challenging greens. PACE on back 9 was VERY SLOW. We had to wait on every tee shot and many second shots. We were very willing to return to the course, until we reached the slow pace of play on the back 9.

A mix of challenges to make it interesting.

Several tee locations make this a great course for a large range of abilities. The greens are well taken care of and roll pretty fast. Fine fairways and a rough that can get deep in places promote smart and accurate play. Beautiful scenery and wildlife add to your experience at St. Ives. GOLFNOW is a big help to get you on this course more often.

Staff very courteous and friendly.

Course was in excellent shape. We were there on a Sunday morning so the clubhouse was serving a brunch buffet. We did not partake in it, but the food looked very good. The clubhouse was well stocked with apparel, was clean and the staff friendly. The bag staff and starter personnel were helpful and attentive to our needs and provided good course information. We drove an hour and a half to get to St. Ives and it was well worth the trip. Will do it again.
