Course is not well kept

For the amount of money you are going to spend play somewhere else like tradition. Rates are to high for the course to not be kept in a reasonable playing conditions.

Nice value

The course was wet with a few holes having some drainage problems.

It’s a nice layout and value for the money.

Great place to take someone who’s learning the game.

Sunset Hills

Course: straightforward and easy. Not a lot of difficult holes or demanding shots. Wide fairways and not penalizing rough. Greens were extremely small, a bit shaggy, and slow. Tee boxes were ok, a lot of them were barren and some are built right on top of other holes.

Amenities: staff was extremely friendly, driving range was grass and not too bad, didn’t see putting green but didn’t look very hard.

Overall: easy course that’s good for beginners. Back 9 is a bit more scenic and enjoyable. Very cheap rates so good value for the money.

Wet course

Course plays short from all sets of tees. Fairways and roughs in average winter conditions for bermuda grass. Greens very slow but rolled somewhat true. The small greens did not hold the approach shot well. Lots of muddy areas, with two holes somewhat unplayable because of the mud.

Good value municipal course

Course play was very slow on front 9 then opened up. Conditions were mostly good but a few spots are muddy and should have signs keeping carts away. Fairways well maintained. greens in good shape.

Decent course

It just rained so the course was muddy and such but was a decent course overall. It was a little confusing finding your way to next hole but we managed. Definitely a good course for anyone. Would recommend and return again.

Greens are in great condition

I have played here a fair amount, and right now the greens are in the best shape I have ever seen them. The course still has some drainage issues, but it's in great shape.

Good value, fairly easy, pretty short course

The course is pretty short, so I'd play the blues - they're more like white tees at most courses, and even then a little short. There are a couple par 5s that are really just long par 4s that need a solid tee shot. Layout is so-so, some holes it's decent, some holes are pretty straight and not much going on. Greens are slow, but they are green, so for this price range I consider that a win. Course was pretty wet, and we've gotten rain here and there recently, but seems like it should have drained a little bit more. We did play the 18 of course, not the 9 hole learning course just to make sure there's no confusion. But overall good value with this course. A little short but at least it's green and for $32 and (for us) not a real long drive, it's a good course to go get some swings in a have some fun. Definitely not going to be my go-to every week, but here and there it's good and also good for playing with friends just getting into the game.

Don’t expect much!

Great coarse if you pay less than $25. Not worth more.
