Ives Grove Golf Links

Ives Grove Golf Links in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, is a municipal facility designed by the father-son team of Garrett and David Gill. The course sits in southeastern Wisconsin, between Milwaukee and Kenosha, in an area where golf course architecture has historically balanced playability for public golfers with the natural terrain of the upper Midwest. The Gills, who have designed and renovated numerous courses throughout Wisconsin and the Great Lakes region, brought their regional expertise to this project, creating a layout that serves the local golfing community. The White/Blue combination represents one of the routing options at this multi-course facility, typical of larger municipal complexes that offer varied playing experiences across different nines or eighteens. The property occupies former agricultural land characteristic of this part of Wisconsin, where relatively gentle topography and open spaces allow for straightforward golf course routing. Courses in this region typically feature tree-lined fairways, water hazards formed from natural drainage patterns or constructed ponds, and playing conditions that reflect the continental climate—firm and fast in summer, with seasonal challenges in spring and fall. As a public facility, Ives Grove serves a broad cross-section of golfers from the surrounding communities, offering accessible golf in a region with a strong municipal golf tradition. The course provides everyday play for residents and visitors traveling along the Interstate 94 corridor between Chicago and Milwaukee.
