Located in the West Valley, Sundance Golf Club offers scenic views of the White Tank Mountains to the north and the Estrella Mountains to the south. Designed by Greg Nash, the golf course is unique in that it flawlessly blends lush green landscaping with Sonoran Desert washes and arroyos. The rolling terrain of this target-style course creates elevation changes that can affect play. Sundance Golf Club's signature hole is the par-3 sixth hole, which requires a precise shot over Sundance Lake to an undulating green that is sloped toward the lake. There are four sets of tee boxes on the golf course for many different options, but the Sundance Golf Club also offers a driving range, chipping area, and putting green.

Rough Fairways

Poor weather and heavy play has contributed to less the average fairway conditions.. Warmer overnight temperature and judicious aeration needed to improve conditions. This course needs some serious maintenance. It’s not going to fix itself.

Troubling signs

Have always liked this golf course and always characterized by being in outstanding condition. However, this time i would say the condition was average, it appeared they did not overseed and just watered the heck out of the existing grass to try and keep it green. Not sure if that will hold up thru the entire winter.

The greens were good (quick).

The Pro shop was completely empty (we checked in with someone in the bar), and we didnt see a single maintenance person or vehicle.

Neither effected the round of golf, which was fun, but it felt like a course either in trouble or in transition. it would be a shame if we lost this course becasue it is a funlayout

First round experience

Overall the course is nice. Pretty challenging for me (15 handicap). Only criticism is the that the practice range has no indication of yardage on the flags so it is tough to check club accuracy. Second is that there was no snack/beverage carts out on the round. Overall I feel like I got what I paid for.

Enjoyable Day

My wife and I played on a Sunday and enjoyed ourselves. Good pace of play and course was in good condition. Greens were fast. Good value. The dispersment of carts is a little time consuming so get there early. They only check out carts one at a time.

Wait to play

With the current weather and course conditions , the course is not in very good shape . Greens are in great shape and fast, pin placements are the toughest they can be. When the weather improves hopefully the course will get back in better shape. Don’t know why they are not trimming the brush along the cart paths. Haven’t seen the maintenance staff trimming anything. They are still having problems with lack of functioning carts. Good luck on your round.

NO CARTS

Cart barn has several carts that have been there for a long time without maintenance or repair. My group had an 11:54 tee time. No carts available until 1:32. Instead of turning out the same few carts over and over, some money should be spent to repair the 20 plus carts just sitting and rotting. Maybe salvage a few to make a few good ones. This could be a great place to play and at a great price. I understand how the staff in the cart barn can be annoyed by golfers constantly asking for a cart. This is the fault of the management and owners. I understand they are in the money making business, but you have to spend money to make money. Also; if you have your own cart you can just take off in front of other tee times that are waiting an hour and a half for a run down wore out cart. Maybe they should make this a private course for just the ones with their own carts. I do not like to write a negative review, I have seen this course run down hill for years now. Really hate where it is going.

Fun course

The course is in pretty great shape, the only downfall is that there is no one calling tee times and people need to enforce some basic etiquette for the greens some are really bad with ball marks. The course can be challenging and very unforgiving if you miss a fairway, but still a good time.

Challenging

Sun Dance is very difficult. The greens have a lot of slope to them making them hard to putt. The fairways can be challenging to hit without rolling into the desert.

Course and range need work

The range has always been too small to keep it in good shape. However by keeping us hitting on only one level they have allowed the lower level to be destroyed. The best things about this course are the greens and bunkers. The greens are in great shape and are very challenging. The bunkers have real sand unlike most AZ bunkers. However it is time to replenish that sand as heavy use has depleted much of the sand. Sundance has spent a lot to remodel the bar and restaurant, and they serve great food. They are now spending money on the pro shop remodel. It seems as though the course is taking a back seat to the remodels. The course is rough around the edges and it could use some TLC . It is pretty threadbare with super tight lies in many places, some around the greens. For these reasons I can't recommend the course to my higher handicap friends
