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 confising to get around
Course can use better signage for getting around to all the holes very confusing even with the digital monitor on the cart. Also no cart girls 1 guy driving around occasionally.
Pleasantly surprised
I was surprised with the condition of the course considering the heat. The greens were in gray shape. The layout is a little confusing at times. It was a little bit difficult figuring out where to go for the next hole. I would definitely play it again next I’m in the area.
