General George V. Underwood, Jr. Golf Complex - Sunrise Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Sunrise opened in April of 1995, bringing a more modern layout to the Underwood facility. Ken Dye (Painted Dunes) built the course as sort of a Scottish links/desert-style track with undulating fairways and a multitude of water hazards. Quite a bit of dirt was moved to sculpt the flat terrain.
On the front No. 5 stands out because it plays as a 465-yard par 4, but No. 9 is the most difficult because of its even greater length-a 587-yard par 5. Holes of note on the back are the 302-yard No. 11, which offers a great chance for birdie; another long par 4 in No. 13 (452 yards); and the mean 18th, a 441-yard dogleg right.
Getting there : Located off I-10 and Gateway. From I-10 east, take US Hwy. 54 north and exit Ellerthorpe. Turn right and drive down the road into the housing development, where you will eventually see the clubhouse.

Needs work
This course has been struggling for years now. Greens are sick and irrigation system is not working properly.
Needs improvement
Overall the course layout is fun to play. However, the greens need a lot of work to be playable. About 6 greens are not worth putting on with a lot of craters throughout and heavy sand. Bunker sand is about average for the area. A few spot on the fairways do have flooding from irrigation systems that can get muddy. The putting greens are full of sand and same issues with the craters, I’ve seen them add sand to make it better but still not the most effective. The driving range is mainly dirt you’re hitting off. The course layout is fun to play but needs some work to be on par with the rest of the area. Tee times do get stacked and walk-ins can slow pace of play. I’ve witness 6-8 player groups which really slows down pace. For the price you can get better around the area but it’s a place you can squeeze in a round on short notice. Worth the money if you get a deal from a website or get a monthly membership, it’s a steal. Staff and restaurant are a plus always treated me well.
Worst conditions ever
The course is not healthy for your mind and for your clubs. Have you ever heard of that legendary golf course in Afghanistan? This resembles it… minus the landmines.
Don’t get me started on the greens…. Worst in the continental US.
Greens are dead
If you water the grass it will grow- terrible conditions tee boxes dirt I won’t be back!
Man it was rough. I get its winter and the grass is dormant but man this place needs some love. Garbage all over the course. But it was the only place I could find a tee time. Probably should try it later in the spring when the grass isn’t dormant.
No longer maintained
It looks like a struggling course that is being held together by sheer will power. The course was both overwatered and flooded in places and dry and barren in others. The greens range from ok to damaged.
Greens were, horrible. Pace of play was brutally slow.
Ny week day get away
I really had a great week day get away.
I wish anyone can doit once in a while.
Get away on a week day luke I did...
