Sunset Ridge Golf Club

You have to hit the ball where you need to, and avoid trouble. Including the famous RAVINE!

Sunset Ridge is a course with a very interesting and enjoyable layout. If you are looking for a course that isn't a cookie cutter design then you will enjoy this one. What make this par 72 unique is the fact that it has six holes of each par. The three's are not overly long and can all be reached with a mid iron or less by the average golfer. The par four's have some length to them to make them not easily reachable with a wedge for your second shot. The par five's all present a unique challenge, with most consisting of rather pronounced dog legs. What makes this course a real challenge is the greens. Most have extreme breaks and require accurate approach shots in order to score well.

The price is more than reasonable, just $35 during the week and $42 on the weekends.

The par 4 16th is the signature hole at Sunset Ridge. A short par four with second shot over a ravine to a green that slopes drastically from back to front.

Not one of the more well known courses in the Syracuse area but that is part of what makes the course great. A hidden gem in the area for sure.

Course was in great condition now that the drought is over and the grass has greened back up. Would play there more often if I could only putt. Greens are quick and tricky.

I enjoy playing the Sunset Ridge course because it is a challenging scenic course with very friendly professional staff. Staff is always working in the course to keep the grass taken care of and any other issues that may occur. I am a senior and I can play 9 holes with a cart during the week for $18 and on Monday you can play 18 holes with a cart for $25. Great course that is fun but challenging to play.

Great course layout. Challenging holes too. Reasonable rates specially during week days. The course is in great condition.

I have considered Sunset Ridge my home course going to back to the early 2000s and have been a member on-and-off during that time, having seen it over the course of most of its history. I recently rejoined for 2021 after a few years away and overall have been favorably impressed by every aspect of the experience with the course under new ownership from a couple years back. The golf course is a truly unique layout with six of each of par 3, 4, and 5 holes. It is pretty forgiving off the tee and there are not many forced carries (a few), however the greens are incredibly nuanced and are among the most challenging In Central New York. Since I rejoined in September the quality of conditioning has only increased through the fall and it is apparent that the superintendent is putting in the work. All of the staff have been friendly and service-minded, overall very helpful. This course is an excellent value and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to try a new course that is a fun but challenging round at a well conditioned course for a reasonable price.

Course always well maintained. Staff Very friendly and helpful. Good price for seniors. Thank You. My only complaint is need better signage to each hole, a few holes are confusing. Otherwise great course, and VERY close to home.

VERY windy today. But it is already mid October and the temperature was in the70's, so I had to go out!

The back 9 was closed due to green aeration and dressing. Played the front 9 twice. Used my GN credits to lower the price.

Went with a friend. We have been trying to get together for years, but his work schedule always got in the way.

Played the regular men's tees with him - he is a kid - just 57, ten years younger than I. Still scored pretty well for an old man.

Played a tournament here the other day.... It was fun but the place was in rough shape.... honestly it looks like they gave up, which is unfortunate because its a pretty cool place. Basically just very poorly maintained. Tees were terrible as others have said, some with pretty much no grass, but everything else too that should be no brainers for a course... out of bound stakes all over the course were not marked and rotted and laying on the ground which caused problems in the tournament... bunkers were unlike any other place ive seen just piles of mud, fairways are full of crabgrass and weeds like they havent used chemicals all year... one fairways in particular was almost 100% crabgrass from 75 yards to the green.... no maintenance filling divots which are EVERYWHERE! Ant holes all over the greens. What a shame really, the place used to be nice. Luckily the food was good and the view was nice, place could be great if they actually tried.

Played it often. Interesting design: 3 par 3's, 3 par 4;s and 3 par 5's on the front and then again on the back nine holes. Have to use all of your clubs due to hazards (see RAVINE) and ponds.

3 years ago the place looked the best I can remember it. Not sure what changed but its been steadily declining ever since. Its unfortunate because its a fun place to play but its pretty much unplayable in the current conditions. Tee's have pretty much no grass left and aren't maintained at all, greens have ant holes all over them and burn spots, bunkers are just full old mud and weeds and some type of weird granular sand thats like little rocks that ive never seen on another course. Even though they have sprinklers i dont think they are watering the fairways because they are hard and dying. Its sad really, I know we havent got much rain but no other course around looks like this place.

I love this course, play it frequently. Fast challenging greens, great layout. My only complaint is that the tee boxes could use some work.

Course is in great shape! Entire Staff, including the crew on the mowers, very friendly and attentive! The greens were some of the best in the area. New players may struggle a little w/all the hills, but worth the learning lesson! The greens are big & encouraging to try to hit! Look forward to going back again!!

Thank you from,

Sunset Ridge has never been better. The course held up all season with excellent greens and fairways. The new management and staff are top shelf and know whet they are doing. Easy to get tee times and the layout is playable but challenging. I’ve played there for 12 years and couldn’t recommend it more strongly. Excellent membership options and tremendous value.
