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.

Course is great for beginners.
Course fairways are just fair and green need more work.
Bad grounds maintenance
I’ve been coming here for years and during the closure of Sunrise course, I only went a few times to play at the Sunset course. Now that Sunset is permanently closed and I went to play at Sunrise and to my surprise, the course is in worse conditions. Before there were irrigation problems all over, presently there is still those problem and what seems like a lack of maintenance on tee boxes, fairways, and especially greens.
It's a good course , but still needs some more work
Course still has some wet spots were putting in is hard and some wet spots on the fairway. Some over size grassy areas were you can lose your golf ball 's.
This course is in bad conditions
The course is in bad conditions. They have it as cart path only and the course is super bad conditions. I don’t see the reason of cart path only if the course is not even green. The greens are bad full of bad weeds. They close for a little thought they will make it better but definitely not.
$20 course
70% of the greens had some for in construction going on. Puddles of water on the fairways, long weeds on the fairways. No grass if the same due to the amount of weeds growing along the fairways.
It’s a great course if everything else is booked or if they started charging $20.
Worsening
Hadn't played here in a while.
Fairways are all yellow and full of weeds...
Greens are all yellow and full of sand a d some are all muddy...
Sprinklers are all broken down and water is seeping from them making some fairways muddy. Unable to maneuver even thru the cart path in some areas because they are full of water.
Course is in need of some mayor attention..
Won't b playing here anymore...
Needs work
Having been a member of this course in the past, it's shameful to see it in such poor condition. For whatever reason, the maintenance crews are unable to fix leaking sprinklers which are evidenced by the swamp-like conditions scattered throughout the corse. The greens are in fairly good condition. The facilities and staff are excellent.
Course was closed and took my money and gave zero help in trying to help me get reimbursed.
Greens
Greens are getting worst and worst.
Most Fairways are also muddy due to broken water lines.
One is daming fairways even more because one cannot avoid to drive thru them as some cart paths are also full of water.
Still in need of some repair
Although in better condition than the last time I played, still has many water leakage points and greens are damaged.
