St. Ives at Tullymore Golf Resort is an 18-hole course designed by Jerry Matthews and located in Stanwood, Michigan, in the northern part of the Lower Peninsula. The course sits within a resort property that features multiple courses, and St. Ives represents one of Matthews' efforts to create golf experiences suited to the rolling, forested terrain characteristic of this region of Michigan. The routing works through natural woodlands and takes advantage of the area's moderate elevation changes. Matthews incorporated the existing topography into the design, with holes that move through corridors of hardwoods and pines. The course features a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with fairways that typically offer some width while still requiring thoughtful placement off the tee. Water comes into play on several holes, and the bunkering style reflects a traditional approach to framing landing areas and greenside complexes. St. Ives serves as part of the Tullymore resort experience, which caters to golfers visiting the Stanwood area for multi-day golf trips. The region has developed as a destination for golfers drawn to northern Michigan's summer climate and concentration of courses built during the golf boom of the 1990s and early 2000s. The course operates within a resort setting that includes lodging and dining facilities designed to accommodate groups and traveling golfers looking to play multiple rounds during their stay.
