Detailed description of Ives Grove Golf Links
Ives Grove Golf Links is a Public, 27 hole golf facility located in Sturtevant, Wisconsin.

Ives Grove Golf Links has three 9-hole courses, The Red, The White and The Blue. They can be combined in 3 different combinations of 18-hole golf courses, Red/White, Red/Blue, and White/Blue.
This 27-hole course, is a well maintained links style layout that features over 110 bunkers, many natural areas, and water that comes into play on 12 of the 27 holes. With large greens and four sets of tees on each hole, this course offers a challenge to all skill levels.

Traveled farther than usual to play this course as it allowed carts out when our original scheduled course would not (rain).

The main description says most of what you need to know, and includes a photo of the barn alongside the signature hole.
This course is very handy to freeway (just West of Interstate 94 at Hwy.20), but far enough off to not suffer freeway noise. A commercial/industrial strip (including a tall water tower) lies between it and the freeway (but only intrudes visually on Red#4&5).
As the description mentions, "over 110 bunkers, many natural areas, and water that comes into play on 12 of the 27 holes." Yup, water will be a problem for errant shots on this course (especially on #9 of all three courses, leaving a lasting final impression). Otherwise, there is not a lot of elevation change (no significantly elevated tees or greens, no oddly pitched fairways). The three nines (red, white, and blue) intermingle a bit. Red and Blue are pretty easy to follow, but White gets a bit more confusing, as #6 returns to the clubhouse, where you cross all three #1 tees to get to your #7 tee. My personal bugaboo on this course (besides the #9s): Red#5, a double-dogleg par 5.
Definitely a favorite to play regularly.

Ives Grove has been my home course for 20+ years. It is a very good value-oriented municipal course that presents a decent challenge for all skill levels.

Nice and challenging open couse especially from back tees. Greens in great and fast condition. If you hit ot off line as I do, you can usually find ball unless, of course, you hit it in the water.
