Big improvements

I have played this course for 30 years but not in the last 2. What used to be a run down Muni is now a nice course with good fairways and tee boxes. The greens are generally small and fairly slow but were also in good shape. The staff was friendly and the overall atmosphere is laid back and enjoy a fun outing.

Great course, but poor pace of play

The course was pretty, staff was excellent and friendly, but the groups ahead of mine were extremely slow. That was the only issue besides some tee boxes being worked on.

Val of Sunset Hills

The layout of this course is good with several challenging holes. It has good, but small, greens that add to the challenge. Troon is the company managing all courses for Mecklenburg county and one immediately notices all the improvements being made both on the course and in the practice areas. I will definitely play it again!

Greens are better than I’ve seen them in years

I used to play this course when I was a beginner and had a buddy with a birthday who is a beginner so I took him out here and it’s such a good beginners course… The fairway and the rough are kind of not great… But the greens were very decent. Better than I’ve seen them in years.

Fun nothing crazy layout, but helluva value!

Good course for the price

This course has been good to my group. We have played it a few times this year and as the season has gone on the course has got better and better. Greens and fairways are defined. They are doing some maintenance to the course but it doesn't effect your play. Staff is always friendly and for the price it is way better than other courses in the north charlotte area offering the same type course. This is one of are groups go to when wanting to get a round in.

Not right now

The staff was great. The layout is interesting. Apparently they have not had any rain (I’m a visitor) so the course is very dry, which made the fairways and greens very hard. Overall, I don’t know if I can recommend the course until they have had some rain.

Sunset Hills Golf Course

Great golf course with a fair challenge, beautiful scenery and their grill has some great food! My only downside is they really need someone actively driving the beverage cart. This is my second time playing here and I got thirsty after Hole 12 and wanted to buy a drink. I don’t know what they did to the staff member that drives the cart, but if they could bring her back that would be much appreciated!

Great course for your money!

Besides a couple of tee box repairs, the course played wonderfully. Play was a tad on the slow side with a couple of inexperienced golfers that were fine, golf wise, but didn't position their carts well to play ready golf so they backtracked a lot which slowed down play. But the weather was great and the course played nicely, even with a few temporary tee boxes.
