General George V. Underwood, Jr. Golf Complex - Sunrise Course
About
Sunrise opened in April of 1995, bringing a more modern layout to the Underwood facility. Ken Dye (Painted Dunes) built the course as sort of a Scottish links/desert-style track with undulating fairways and a multitude of water hazards. Quite a bit of dirt was moved to sculpt the flat terrain.
On the front No. 5 stands out because it plays as a 465-yard par 4, but No. 9 is the most difficult because of its even greater length-a 587-yard par 5. Holes of note on the back are the 302-yard No. 11, which offers a great chance for birdie; another long par 4 in No. 13 (452 yards); and the mean 18th, a 441-yard dogleg right.
Getting there : Located off I-10 and Gateway. From I-10 east, take US Hwy. 54 north and exit Ellerthorpe. Turn right and drive down the road into the housing development, where you will eventually see the clubhouse.

Worst conditions ever
The course is not healthy for your mind and for your clubs. Have you ever heard of that legendary golf course in Afghanistan? This resembles it… minus the landmines.
Don’t get me started on the greens…. Worst in the continental US.
Greens are dead
If you water the grass it will grow- terrible conditions tee boxes dirt I won’t be back!
Man it was rough. I get its winter and the grass is dormant but man this place needs some love. Garbage all over the course. But it was the only place I could find a tee time. Probably should try it later in the spring when the grass isn’t dormant.
No longer maintained
It looks like a struggling course that is being held together by sheer will power. The course was both overwatered and flooded in places and dry and barren in others. The greens range from ok to damaged.
Greens were, horrible. Pace of play was brutally slow.
Ny week day get away
I really had a great week day get away.
I wish anyone can doit once in a while.
Get away on a week day luke I did...
Diamond in the rough
Good layout plenty of potential just needs some much needed maintenance
Same review as always bad greens and fairway.
Course needs lots of work and better drain system to clear rain water.
Course needs lots of work.
Greens and fairway need work and drain for the water when it rains.
No so good
I got a great deal @$20 with a cart. At that price, I would play it again but the course and equipment are not kept up well. Some of the sprinklers on while playing. Some of the sprinklers were leaking a lot soaking the greens. Layout was confusing but their gps on the cart helped me get back on track. All the carts seats are ripped and feel like they are falling apart. Halfway through my round the ignition port popped out just enough where the cart wouldn't move. Luckily I figured it out. Cart kept getting locked due to a lot of restricted areas. Driving range is small and the balls are mixed, old, and breaking.
