About
Located in the Great Northern Catskills, Thunderhart Golf Course at Sunny Hill is settled within the Catskill basin. The course offers both scenic views and a challenging design. The front nine is a traditional layout with some holes that long hitters will enjoy. There are three that measure over 500 yards. On the slightly tougher, parkland-style back nine each hole was carefully carved from the mature forests that sprinkle the rolling hills. Eleven ponds come into play throughout and the bunkering is minimal, but memorable. Though there are only 15 of them, they are strategically placed to provide a challenging test. In addition to the golf course, there is also a large 250-yard driving range available. Thunderhart is part of Sunny Hill Resort, which offers another 18-hole championship golf course that has a more resort-style feel.

Catskills golf
Great layout. First 9 around mountain with great views, back 9 tight through trees. Only problem was no mowed fairway. Grass was same depth entire width of hole. Maybe they let it grow so it wouldn’t burn up from lack of rain during summer🤷🏼♂️ Enjoyed the round. Course was challenging and fun!
Great course for the price
Course was in rough shape but I’m not going to hold that against them because of the dry weather the area has had recently. Greens were nice, fairways were rough. Challenging layout, very narrow on most holes. If you don’t hit the ball straight, be ready to spend a lot of time in the woods on the back 9, front 9 is a bit more forgiving.
Challenging but fun
I really like this course, although it's a little closed in with trees and the greens are very challenging, hard to read. On this outing, the course was very dry with little fairway grass.
Still a good deal.
Very Scenic
Beautiful scenery with mountain views. Every hole is different. The greens were a bit slow, but in excellent condition. The fairways were hard and dry, but it's mid July and most courses in the area are quite dry. We took a cart, but the course is certainly walker friendly.
A bit disappointed
Friendly staff upon arrival. Got me off early. First 3 holes went great then turned into a super slow pace of play. Greens were in good condition but were very slow. Fairways and tee box’s were very hard and burned up. A fairly tight course and a nice layout. Couldn’t just hit driver off every tee. Course would have been rated much higher by me if pace of play was better and fairways were not so dry. Both are hit and miss depending on weather and who you get stuck behind. Not really the courses fault.
