The course might have been fun to play, unfortunately, my friend and I were unable to make it due to family issues from the night before. I was unable to cancel, and subsequently am now out $80+ dollars. I'll will be deleting the Teeoff app as soon as I end this review and will most definitely NOT recommend it to any one I know.
Slow, but fun
Sun Hills GC was very busy today which caused slow play; most of the groups I watched tee off the first tee box were playing the white tees which made me believe the round would be a bit faster than normal; however, I believe it was because many beginner golfers were playing today; we waited from the first tee through the ninth tee due to slow 9-hole round groups; it did speed up for the back nine, but the round still started about 20 minutes late (9:20 rather than 9:00), and the front nine was very slow; the round took about five (5) hours; the course was in great shape, and the staff was very friendly and focused on providing a great experience; I enjoy this course and recommend it to all level golfers.
great place
This was our first time playing there and we really enjoyed it. The staff was super friendly and the course was in great condition. I
Spur of the moment
Considering the time of year course was well maintained. They had just aerated is why the course didnt get 5 stars. Staff super friendly and helpful. Barely anyone in the course at all.
Fun course
Fun course to play. Took my son along for the ride and had a great day. Will be returning to play again.
Nice course
Well maintained for a public course, generous fairways. Greens in good shape.
Fun course
This is a fun course.
You can get away with some Miss hits.
Greens are nice.
Hard to read.
You can score.
If you keep it in the fairway.
I say have fun.
Enjoy
Excellent experience, great course
This was only my second round at Sun Hills GC, but it was a great experience. I would recommend this course to beginner and intermediate level players.
Great round, quality course
This was only the second time I have played this course, first time this year; I truly enjoyed the round because of the diversity experienced among the holes (layout, strategy) and the well groomed course; with the exception of a 4-some (gold tees) that did not let our 2-some play through until the 10th hole, the pace of play was superb; I recommend this course to all levels of golfers, but I think it is designed more for the intermediate to high level golfer.
Good course to play
I played the front 9 holes. We had to wait on every hole, contributing to a 2-hour round. But I enjoyed playing with my best friend. Beautiful corse.
Turning Around
I played this course when it first opened. It has completely changed and matured. Fun holes and enjoyable course for any golfer. Keep working on the course conditions and in a couple years this will be a course that you have to visit..
Potentially a Great Course
Sun Hills is potentially one of the most interesting courses the area. It has an interesting layout, and although it plays a little short, there are some challenging holes and the ability to make it longer by changing several of the tee boxes. I have played there several times and each time I feel the greens keeper is holding this place back. I understand he does not play golf. This is a HUGE minus in actually taking care of a course for golfers. I'm sure from his experience he can do certain things well, but without a commitment to the game and the course, it will not get better. Greens keepers must work long hours as a labor of love, not a job where you have weekends off. Also, with the shorter season, it should not be a problem. Only if it was supported more by the investors. Let's hope it gets a new owner soon so we can all enjoy this potential gem!
Time to go
Most reviews here are old. This place has turned over a new leaf. New carts. New mowers. Less rough. New grill. New ladies bathroom. Halfway hut open for snacks and drinks. New sand in traps. Grass on driving range, not dirt. Links style layout with interesting holes and great views. Fairways and greens have come back. Go play before it gets too busy. You won't be sorry.
This review is too good to be true. I have been going to Sun Hills for many years and I do not believe this review, as I have not experienced these enhancements. Yes, there is a new snack bar and sand in the bunkers, but everything else...?
WOW!
I left the course feeling like somehow my round was taken from me. It looks nice from the clubhouse, and even the clubhouse was a pretty normal scene. I was a tad concerned about how empty the lot was however. But wrote that off to the hard to find location. Prices were pretty average for this area, and the staff seemed nice enough. They had a snack bar, range, practice greens (no practice bunker). Overall not bad, even if a tad smaller than most. Out on the course was a whole other issue. It had playability in the layout, but the conditions.....YIKES! The greens were hands down the worst. I would say 20% of almost every green looked to be molding, and was missing grass. This didn't seem to deter them from placing flags next to the bad areas either. Bunkers were full of cat litter type, hard sand. Mold in the fairways near the greens as well. Speaking of fairways, they were really narrow. Decent room in between the longer rough, but hard to really tell a difference between the normal rough and the fairways. They obviously had not cut in several days. Greens were also slower than I would say is normal. Tee boxes were really long. They tried to add some appeal to the fairways with this curvy layout, but it still struck me as odd that they were all super narrow, and all just straight lines. Never did spot any maint. crew through the round which wasn't a bad thing, but started to make sense. Spotted the Maint shed on like hole 6 I think, and looked pretty closed up and a fairly early time in the day. I'd say they either have a missing greens keeper and are in need of hiring one, meenwhile having only somewhat knowledgeable crew members, perhaps even small crew. Or they have a greens keeper that is older, maybe too old, or super Lazy and checked out for some other job or something. It felt like municipal course in like a small town far away form everything. I can say this for sure, with the course in that bad of shape, it was not worth the 40$ spent. Would not recommend until they have someone in there that actually knows to to manage a golf course, and can get their Conditions out on the actual course figured out. Who knows maybe they already have a Maint person, and was left with all the mess from their last one. IDK, but like I said, Wow that was hard to see a course in that bad of shape.
You hit the nail on the head! Could be a nice place, but ground maintenance is the worst I have seen! I have asked around and your assumption about the maintenance shed being closed early is correct. The greens keeper and the crew is usually gone by 2:00PM and they start at about 6:00AM. Weekends are worse, there are only one or two maintenance people around and the greens keeper is rarely there. Maybe he needs to get a job in a bank. I wonder what he writes in his W2 form for profession... Is sure is not Greens Keeper!!!
Yeah... the Greens Keeper has been there for over 12 years and he still can't get it right.
Forgiving Links Course
I really enjoyed playing here this morning. The windy hills added a little extra challenge to this not-too-long course. The fairways are relatively wide and forgiving. The greens were deceptively fast. We played in the morning while everything felt spongy, but the greens were still quick. You play up and down a few of the foothills on about half the holes and I enjoyed the elevation changes. Most greens are well bunkered, but offer a decent risk/reward if you can avoid them. The multi-tiered greens also offer a nice challenge if you end up on the wrong side of the pin. I would recommend this course if you are looking for something not too difficult, but with some fair challenges. No opinion about the clubhouse or snack bar, I didn't spend much time there.
If you offered a promotion rate for a single golfer instead of minimum of two golfers then I would sign up and not go to another near by course.
