Course Highlights
The course layout consistently earns high praise, featuring a more open front nine that gives way to a challenging, narrow back nine with elevated greens and stunning natural scenery. Excellent value for the price, friendly staff, and a smooth pace of play make this a rewarding round.

What a GEM

Really was surprised by this course, had heard good things, but was very impressed once getting out on the course. Didn't get a chance to warm up on the range, but for the day after Christmas the course was in awesome shape. Can't wait to play it during prime conditions. Well Done Sun Valley.

Wow

What a course! You truly cannot beat it for this price. I golfed on a Wednesday afternoon so that helped with the course not being crowded at all but pace of play was tremendous. You gotta be careful playing that Par 6 hole nicknamed “ The Beast”. Beautiful hole like many out there are but that will be giving me nightmares for weeks. It’s definitely intimidating. Staff was friendly and welcoming once I got to the course. Overall great time and definitely worth the one hour drive from STL. Thanks Sun Valley Golf Course. I’ll be back!
