In addition to the testing nature of the Links-style course, the setting boasts an environment in which wildlife flourishes, promoted by the spectacular natural wetland features and water hazards around the course; over 90 different species of birds have been recorded in what is, in essence, a wonderful golf course nature reserve setting. The stunning golf course is complemented by outstanding practice facilities: a Short Game Area which provides purposeful and realistic on-course conditions; and a floodlit Driving Range with thoughtfully placed targets to encourage more meaningful practice. St Ives (Hunts) Golf Club is also home to the Titleist National Fitting Centre, providing the ultimate personal fitting experience where all golfers are treated exactly like PGA Tour players and experience the same process, equipment and TrackMan Launch Monitor technology that the best players in the world rely on to improve their game.
