First Time Playing

Great course, somewhat short. A shot makers course.

The course itself was in amazing condition.
We were following a large group of several foursomes playin a scramble that made play slow.

The staff was accommodating and friendly.
Unfortunately the range was irons only due to its small size.

The design of the course is very hilly. A lot of natural terrain was simply made part of the course, which is always the case with a Matthews design. It did seem like the crew has the course set up to be super playable rather than challenging though.

Beautiful layout with plenty of challenges

Playing this course at regular price is to much $. Great deals on golf now make it more appealing. The course was in great shape and the staff was extremely accommodating.

This course is growing on me

I played St. Ives several times a few years ago and thought it was okay. I am starting to appreciate it more and think I will play it more often. The condition was better than the sister course, Tullymore, which I played last week and will be playing again this weekend. It is early in the season still, but St. Ives was in better overall condition.

My favorite golf experience in the state.

The staff at this course is very well trained. From the moment you drop off your bag you are treated with courteous respect.

Course notes are provided for each hole, and I have never experienced an issue with course maintenance. It's always in wonderful shape.

They are on time and during heavy play have strategically placed fore-caddies.

Rangers and Beverage cart drivers are alert to your play.

This is how a course should be run!

Great course that plays fair.

This is a great course for all levels of play. The greens are very big so knowing pin placement is important for scoring well.

Fabulous Course!

This is a beautiful course and was in pristine shape. The course had a good driving range and putting course. We played this course twice using Golfnow prices which were so much more reasonable than the daily rate. Great course using the Golfnow rate made for a wonderful golf experience!
