St. Ives Golf Club & Resort in central Michigan

St. Ives Golf Club & Resort in Stanwood, Michigan features two golf courses: Tullymore & the original St. Ives course, designed by Jerry Matthews and opened in the mid-90s.

The two courses contrast greatly. St. Ives features many elevated tees played to elevated greens. It's been nicknamed "pot & kettle" golf for the way holes start and end above the fairway.

It's very scenic at all corners, playing through thick forest. The last five holes play down low along wetlands and over water, most notably the par-3 16th, which plays to a shallow green with water all around.

St. Ives and Tullymore are both in great shape all year long and offer some of Michigan's best service in the clubhouse and on-site hotel.
