No were are not in Scotland, nor is this a
whiskey but it is a charming course in the middle of the lower
peninsula in Stanwood. You do have to have a map to find
it - it is off the main highways, but it is a pleasant course
to play.
We played the course in mid-September while on our way up
to Manistee to do some family research. We arrived at
the club just a little before the onset of twilight rates --
so Dave being the good Dane he is, decided to wait and tee off
at twilight rates. We have found this to be a good way
to save some money since we are too young for senior
rates. While we were hanging about the Pro Shop waiting,
we happened upon the end of season clothing discount
table. After piling up all the clothing we bought,
needless to say -- I'm doubtful that we saved any money on the
twilight rate -- but at least we now have new clothes
featuring the St. Ives logo.
The course itself, is really not worth the regular course
price - it is a good value at the Senior rates or Twilight
rates. This is a very popular course, they also have a
sister course called Tullymore, You will need tee times
during the busy summer.
