Sunset Hills Golf Course - Old Course

This course is very open with wide greens. If you’re a low handicap looking for a challenge (other than try to escape the hard sand traps here), this may not be for you. But for the price, this course offers a good time to work on your game. It’s a par 71 course. The fairways and greens weren’t as bad as I expected. The sand traps were basically concrete but the rain the day prior may have played a role in their quality.

TLDR: affordable course that’s worth the value

Overall this course was not bad and a really good value. I will play here again. There are some areas on the fairway and a few greens that need attention but nothing I couldn’t get over. The golf cart was in good shape and the pace of play was pretty fast.

A good and cheap round to play with decent course conditions to get some practice in.

After 2 days of downpours, my wife and I were ready to get out of the house. Didn’t want to spend a bunch of money to play and didn’t at Sunset Hills.(36$ per) It is priced where a course like this should be. It isn’t overly long but I hit enough drivers to make it fun. There is a nice variety of holes and I hit most of the clubs in my bag.There are a lot of rocky areas around the cart paths so keep it in the fairways. Soggy but not unplayable after A LOT of rain. Very small, flat greens that putted ok for not being mown. I will need to play it again in better conditions to truly get a sense of the value but overall it played in under 4 hours and “scratched the itch.”

Probably the worst course around, however, with the perks membership it’s $7 to walk 9 holes. Easily the lowest rate around Charlotte. So if you’re just looking to get outside and play, you can for very cheap.

Driving range and practice green are poor as well, but they have them.

Our tee time was at 1:09, and the tee times online seemed to be spaced out 12 min, which is normal. But figured out there were walkin tee times scheduled 6min apart, so before we teed off on hole 1, there were 3 groups waiting in front of us.

My son and I had a great time playing. He has only played a few times so it was great that the course is open and not terribly challenging. It was a ton of fun and we will be back!

I booked a tee time on Golfnow and showed up to play my round but the course was closed. Wasn't noticed prior. I also booked the tee time the day prior. If they knew they would be closed, they shouldn't allow bookings.

Layout had a variety hole from open long par 5s to tight drivable par 4s. Greens where in good shape! Fairways in great shape! Greens where small but good! Rewarded good shots punished bad ones! Definitely would play here again especially for the value!
