Location:  Stanwood, MI

Date Played: Nov. 2011

Clubhouse and Staff:  Huge, beautiful clubhouse that is shared with the other 18 hole course on the property; Tullymore.  The staff was very informative.  There was also a grill after hole 9 which is always a nice feature.   

Course Conditions:  Course conditions were excellent, even late in the season.  Fast, smooth greens and well manicured fairways. 

Playability:  A nice variety of holes.  There are some short par 4's that can be scored on, but also some very challenging holes.  .    

Scenery:  Beautiful scenic conditions throughout the property.  Amazing houses, brilliant hole design, along with trees and water hazards make this course a must play... 

Value: St. Ives can be played at a very reasonable rate early and late in the season.  The price does get a little steep in high season, but it is well worth it. 

Overall Experience:  A short drive from Grand Rapids and Lansing, I would highly recommend making it if you are in the area.
