Plan your round at Saint Ives

Players should arrive 15 minutes prior to their tee time. Check in at the counter on arrival and collect a receipt, which must then be presented to the starter.

Proper attire is required for all players on the golf course and driving range, and players without it may be denied entry to the course or facilities. Spikeless golf shoes only, and collared shirts are required for both men and women; sleeveless collared shirts are permitted for women. Denim, including colored denim, is not allowed, and short shorts, tank tops and cut-offs are not permitted.

Golf carts are available to rent, and cart drivers must hold a valid driver's license. Only two people and two sets of clubs are permitted per cart, and each player must have his or her own set of clubs. A 90-degree cart rule applies, meaning carts must enter and exit the fairway at a 90-degree angle. Players are asked to use sand on shallow divots and to replace deeper divots.

Both golf courses at the resort offer teaching and practice facilities, including a driving range. PGA professionals offer lessons tailored to the individual; lessons can be arranged through the St. Ives PGA Head Golf Professional at 1 (800) 972-4837 ext. 225.

Club rentals are available at the pro shop.

The St. Ives Grille is a casual pub with a patio, open Monday through Sunday from 7:30 AM to 9:00 PM, with bar service and grab-and-go items from opening until 11 am and the main menu served from 11 am until close. Trivia Night is held on Wednesday evenings starting at 7 PM with food and drink specials. The resort's other restaurant, the Tap Room at Tullymore, is an Irish-style pub with a patio overlooking the 18th hole at Tullymore, open 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM daily with breakfast, lunch and dinner service.

Players are asked to be aware of their own speed of play and to play "ready golf" by letting whoever is ready hit first, while making sure everyone in the group is safe. As a rough guide, an 18-hole round should be completed in approximately 4 hours and 15 minutes. The pro shop can offer tips on speeding up play.

Tee times can be made up to two weeks in advance; the rates page states tee times may be booked online up to 30 days in advance. Groups should specify the number of players and notify the resort as soon as possible if the number changes. Cancellations require at least 72 hours' notice, and groups larger than four are asked to give one week's notice if possible. Reservations can be made by phone at 1 (800) 972-4837.
