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.

This course is a must-play
This is a beautiful course, I play it every time I am in the area. The staff is very courteous and it's a beautiful course.
Thunderheart - Great Value
Thunderheart is a challenging course with a an excellent routing. Great views. Course was in good condition and greens rolled true, but a bit slow.
Nice course in the in the country.
Played this course last summer when it was dry and everything was rock hard. Anything not on the greens was bounding all over the place. Played it last week when there had been plenty of rain. - completely different experience. Very pretty course going through fields and woods. Accuracy required on the wooded holes; pretty wide open otherwise. Greens well-kept. Staff was friendly and helpful, especially the woman in the snack bar.
Very Nice Course
Front and back nines were different animals. Front nine moderate difficulty while the back nine was very challenging. Course was in good shape and views were breathtaking. Also a nice abundence of wildlife was all around us. Made for a very nice day.
couse is well maintained
The course was in great shape and here was a large crew working on it . The greens could have been faster but everything else was great
Fun, fun fun.
Course is very fair. Plenty of tree lined fairways, elevation changes and water comes into play throughout. The views of the Catskills are great too.
Greens are just healing from aeration. I've heard the course plays like concrete in the hotter/drier summer months.
The staff is as friendly as it gets. Same goes for the people I met playing there.

Value is exceptional
Played Thunderhart in early spring which comes late here in the Catskills. The course was in good shape, the greens a little too slow due to maintainance.
The design is very nice, much uphill/downhill. Water comes into play several times. That's the most challenging part of Thunderhart, especially if you are not familiar with that course.
Staff is very friendly, the local players, too. Thunderhart is a good value, will definetly come back when it's warmer.
