Tullymore Golf Resort

St. Ives Golf Course at Tullymore Golf Resort is an 18-hole layout designed by Jim Engh and opened in 2001. The course sits in the rolling woodlands of Mecosta County in central Michigan, part of a resort property that includes another Engh design. Known for his bold, sculptural style, Engh routed St. Ives through dense hardwood forests and across varied terrain, creating dramatic elevation changes and visual interest throughout the round. The course features Engh's characteristic design elements: large, contoured bunkers with irregular shapes, significant earth movement that frames holes and creates amphitheater-like settings, and greens with pronounced undulation. The routing moves through corridors of mature trees, with several holes playing along or across natural ravines and wetland areas. The topography provides strategic variety, with uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies common throughout the round. Water comes into play on multiple holes, and the bunkering—both greenside and fairway—demands thoughtful course management. St. Ives operates as part of the Tullymore resort experience, which caters to traveling golfers and groups seeking northern Michigan golf. The property emphasizes its Irish-themed design aesthetic in both course naming and clubhouse architecture. The course is walkable for those willing to navigate the elevation changes, though the terrain makes riding more common. Together with its companion course, Tullymore offers a destination golf experience in a region known for its concentration of public-access layouts.
