Three years later the land was transformed by renowned golf course architect Cameron Sinclair into a Championship Links-style Golf Course. The golf course has matured exceptionally well since opening in 2010, its true potential is being realised and there is a clear aspiration for St Ives (Hunts) Golf Club to be recognised as one of the finest golf venues in the East of England. 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.
