Ives Grove Golf Links
About this course
Ives Grove Golf Links in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, is a municipal facility that serves the greater Racine County area in southeastern Wisconsin. The complex features multiple nine-hole layouts that can be combined for eighteen-hole rounds, with the Blue 9 representing one of these routing options. Architect Garrett D. Gill designed the course, contributing to the region's public golf infrastructure during a period when Wisconsin municipalities invested in accessible golf facilities for their communities. The property occupies relatively flat to gently rolling terrain characteristic of southeastern Wisconsin's glacial landscape, situated between Milwaukee and the Illinois border. The routing likely incorporates the open, links-style characteristics suggested by the facility's name, though the Wisconsin climate and landscape differ considerably from traditional seaside links terrain. As a municipal course, Ives Grove serves a broad range of golfers from beginners to experienced players seeking affordable golf in the Racine-Kenosha corridor. The course operates as part of the Racine County park system, providing public access without membership requirements. The facility's multi-nine format allows for flexible play options and helps accommodate demand during peak seasons. The straightforward design and maintenance typical of municipal courses in the region make it a practical choice for regular play rather than a destination layout, serving its primary function as a community golf resource in southeastern Wisconsin.
