Style Traditional/Executive

Rating 60.4

Located in the east valley, the Sunland Village Golf Course is an 18-hole course with a traditional layout. The semi-rolling landscape of the course features subtle elevation changes and tall, mature trees sprinkled throughout. The medium-sized greens are slightly undulating and the fairways are tree-lined. There are also ponds on the course that come into play on many holes. A notable hole is the par-3 16th. It is a mere 86 yards, but it requires a precise shot past water to the green. The Sunland Village Golf Course facility has three different putting and chipping greens for golfers to use as well as a driving range.

Always a challenge regardless of length

With many par 4's & most par5's, you can hit 1 horrible, or a couple bad shots & still come away with a par or a birdie. Sunland's got challenging greens,. Along with plenty of old growth trees which punish you for errant tee shots. Par 3's some short, but not forgiving, either bunkers, trees or water will bite you. So forget about your thoughts that an executive course is going to be too easy. It's fair, if you're on that day, which I've had my ups & downs fighting cancer & a back & neck nobody will touch. I ignored every Dr who said I'd be crazy to golf. I didn't fight as hard as I did to do nothing. It's also been time with my son's. Time more precious than I ever knew, till I lost my son last March. I've got some of his ashes in my bag so a piece of him is always with us. There's no joy golf-wise than sharing a hole in one with each son, on the same course, Sunland, but a different hole. I know I was jumping higher & was louder than they were when each followed me. Slowing down my swing made a difference, which it's not slow now, but it's much slower. Sunland has become a like an old friend. I look forward to the time of year we play, my son & I. Since he's far too busy except for when we play & I have many courses closer, but I don't ever even think about going anywhere else. I'm still looking to equal my best round on a horse I played when Sunland was seeding. A 5 under. I've had rounds with an eagle & 3 birdies, but a 60 was the best I could pull off. Plus the course owes me another hole in one, 2/3's of the ball was over the hole, but it was close to closing & the grass was turned towards the sun, just enough for the ball to tease me hanging over air. No better course in my mind. R Cottrell

Fun Executive course

Fun little Executive course with some good par 3 holes and mostly very short par 4. Greens are nice fairways in good shape. Pace was pretty slow Sunday afternoon! Have played here in 2 hours walking was 3 plus Sunday.

Fairways very good shape

The overall course was ok. Fairways were in great shape but the greens were. Way below average. The ball continued to bounce along the greens making the whole round very irritating. We played 5 courses this week and it is not one we will put on our try again list

Nice Executive Course

With Greenfield Lakes looking more like an episode of GoT after the dragons got ahold of it, Sunland Village is a very nice, close by alternative for those looking to play a shorter course in the east Valley. Lots of water scattered throughout the course, trees line many fairways making it imperative to keep it in the fairway on the "longer" holes.

Entire course is green, even in the dead of summer. Tee boxes in good shape, greens were true and well conditioned, bunkers needed a bit more sand to make them more playable. Staff was courteous and friendly even to someone who doesn't live in the Sunland Village complex, which is sometimes an issue at other courses.

Very nice course to practice your mid and short irons. Also has an all grass driving range and practice putting green. PoP was about 2.75 hours.

Great course conditions

Usually play another place nearby, but decided to try this one out because of the ratings. Course conditions were amazing for the price. I will definitely play again. Only down side was how close the houses were with no fence, but just makes you try and hit a straight shot every time.

A Bit Overrated!

Drove about 40 miles and chose this course because it had a 4.5 rating. Hard to understand why, as it does not have any outstanding features! We have played several courses of similar length and design with lower ratings which we would choose again over this one. We had to stop at the bathroom after nine, so, following etiquette and being courteous, we let a female foursome through. Then, some clown (another crass description would be appropriate) playing behind them drove up to the 10th tee and loudly and arrogantly accused us of cutting in! We realize the course has little control over such idiots and while it did not affect our overall rating, it did leave a sour taste.
