Sumo Golf Village

5 years ago I vowed never to come back here under the staff and conditions. But rumors of recent improvements and a killer deal drew me back. We had a beautiful day in November 2026 with blue skies, quick greens, fully filled in fairways, improved drainage and turf care. Staff was glad to see us this time, and we could tell they had mowed more than just once a week. The Gary Player layout has always been great, but hasn't lived up to his name. It just needs better management and a few people who care. Dont get your expectations too high. Despite the recent improvements, there were still some rough bunkers, tee boxes and cart paths. Some new signs, ball washers and water jugs would be nice too. Most improved this year! Keep it up!

The conditions are improving every time I go. Wahoo!

The distance between holes means is virtually unwalkable. The cart paths are horrible. There’s no amenities on the course that I could see, other than a port-a-potty. The clubhouse is in need of a facelift. Just to get to the course you leave the paved road and travel on a dirt road for a bit. Unless you live within 10 minutes of the course, there are plenty of other course with better courses, better value.

Great layout of course! Very green! Need quite of bit work on tee boxes, trails and golf carts.

Maybe next year at this time will be there!

I’m sure it was a great course in its day. Unfortunately it has been neglected for many years. The car parts are in terrible shape, the clubhouse is empty so make sure you bring everything you need, don’t expect to buy any necessities for the round experience a few drinks. The course layout is ok but not nearly enough signs to point you in the right direction between holes, greens are ok for the most part, fairways are a mix between good and absolutely flooded from irrigation water not draining. The sand traps are all grown up and/or flooded. But hey, what do you expect for $45 with a cart? If this is your only option to play today, then go! I’d rather pay more and get a nicer experience.

Course is in great condition. Best I've seen in couple years. Carts are finally being replaced, pretty decent compared to what they had before. Would recommend if looking for a nice course that doesn't break the bank.

Greens are in good shape. The fairways arw getting much better. Several tee boxes could use some grass seed!! Pretty barren. The cart paths are pretty rough from all the hard winters. All the bad aside,....it is a GOOD course. Wide undulating fairways make a good drive important less you wind up in a sand trap, or in the bushes. The views are fantastic! You have mountains to the north, south, and west! Late.afternoon thunderstorms are not uncommon. The local wildlife keep it fun. A small herd of pronghorns make the course their home. Be kind and play around them. Local bird life is varied and pretty. I even encountered a bear cub last week. Turkey will come out to the fairways and greens for a bite to eat as well. A really fun course.

Gary Player designed course at a bargain price in my opinion. New management really cares about improving the course and it shows. Droughts conditions make it tough for any course to have everything green but they do a good job here. It’s a links course in the desert with lots of grass, maybe too much. They could save water by introducing more desert into the fairways but this is a course everyone can play. Helps if you can hit a long ball. The elevated tees from the tips are amazing and fun. Not busy when we played and finished in about 4 hours.

I’ve played Sumo maybe a dozen times over the last 15 years and this is some of the better conditions I’ve seen. If you played a few years ago and it was crap give it another try. Hopefully you have as much fun as we did.

Course was not in good shape. No food just a few snacks.

I love Sumo! The course layout is nice, the staff are excellent, the course is in amazing shape given the drought, pace of play is better than average and the views are spectacular. If you are looking for a course that is comfortable and scenic, try Sumo!

The course was fun to play. It was in pretty decent shape except for the 1st fairway. Definitely worth playing, especially for the price.

Tee boxes need work. Greens in great shape. Carts being replaced with yamaha electrics. Looking forward to my next round.

A long course that has rolling fairways. Makes driver placement important to stay out of the "ditch". Greens are in good shape are pretty deceptive. They are on the smaller side. This require good wedge shots as sand bunkers are around most greens. The fairways are good for 5he most part. There are some dry areas but to be expected based on the lack of moisture this year. So

Not busy! Wide faiways are forgiving. Small greens and sand traps make it challenging. Rolling fairways make driver placement critical. Greens are in good shape, and they are deceptive with their breaks. Tee boxes could use a little love. The cart paths are pretry rough! The pronghorn population make for cool views as well. I love the place. Designed for big hitters and accurate wedge play.

I have played the course six times this spring and summer. The ground crew continues to make improvements to the tee boxes. The greens are in great shape, fairways are hit and miss with lots of hard dry areas, and the bunkers are very hard with some weeds. The course has great mountain visas with lots of elevated tees and side sloping fairways. It is great fun to play with lots of potential for improvement. L
