Golfer Reviews
Good course not busy
Course was in pretty good shape, but I think all the rain has had some impact. For the money it is a nice course and it took no time to play. We played a twosome and it took 4 hours.
Under the radar, good course!
I've played this course quite a bit, it's had its ups and downs. Some of the holes are a little quirky but overall it's a course that you need to be able to guide your ball around. Greens roll very good! I've payed more money for "better" courses that have worse greens. Don't pass up an opportunity to try this course. Always a good time with never a lot of people!
Thank you for your recommendation! We appreciate when our golfers notice the hard work that has been put into the course the past few years and always enjoy new visitors. We hope to see you again soon. Thanks for playing at Sun Valley!
Bugged out!
The bugs were bad, the grass was to tall, sand missing in sand traps, paid for 18 holes and back 9 closed, unplayable...was not notified till we finished front 9 holes. Over all , I will not return!!
We are very sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your experience with us. The heavy and consistent rains this season have not been kind to our course conditions. While we have been hard at work to battle Mother Nature, she seems to be winning most days this year. We hope you will find another time to come visit when the weather is in better shape.
picturesque
It has been several years since I have been to Sun Valley and the course is different. It has always been a course with great views from the tee boxes, but long grass has been added to define the hole boundaries when venturing too far off the fairways- great addition. I played the Blue tees at 6600 yards. The course has some holes with wide landing zones and others where you have to hit your target. Undulating greens in great condition were rolling well. I love the layout. The bunkers were unplayable due to past weather and need to be repacked. I hope this will be done promptly. I will go back soon.
Thank you so much for your review! We always appreciate the recommendation and tips to your fellow golfers regarding our course. We will pass your concerns about the bunkers along to our maintenance staff who has been working hard this summer to battle the weather conditions. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
MARROQUIN + AJ
The course was in very good condition including the greens. Not many golfers on the course on this day, which made it great for us.
We've played this course several times over the years and will keep coming back.
Great value.
Thank you so much for the review and recommendation. We are happy to hear you enjoy playing our course frequently and that you will be returning again.
Good all around
Good challenging course for my brother in laws and I, nice pace of play and used all of the clubs in my bag. Only thing negative to say was the food wasn't the best and the bathrooms were kind of nasty. Other than those two things, we were extremely satisfied with our experience and will be back!,
We are glad you enjoyed your round at our course! We appreciate the feedback regarding the food and restrooms and will utilize that information. We hope to see you again for another round soon!
Nice layout and fair greens
Not too hard of a course to score on if you play smart off the tee and on the greens.
Thank you for your review of our course! We appreciate your feedback and recommendation. We look forward to having you out for another round!
wide open
I like the golf course its one of my top course I would choose to go play at I like the wide open play and straight fairways. but on the other hand I did have a bad experience not to long ago on the 18th of January I had a tee time set for 8:24 am and I arrived at the course at 8:15 and the gate was still locked so I sat and waited a lil bit I even called and no answer so I left and went to warrenton golf course and by the time I made it to warrenton a lady called me from sunvalley and was wandering about my tee time and I told her I had one at 8:24 and I was there and no one else was the gate was locked and she informed me that she got there at 8:45 so I was out my gas and time driving there I didn't understand if u had early tee times on the websit but no one gets there till 8:45 what is the point on putting early tee times on the site. also when I arrivd at warrenton golf course the gentleman working also said another lady is coming from sunvalley cause she to arrived for her tee time and no one was there
We are sorry to hear about your bad experience with booking your tee time in January. Our previous email system did not notify us in time when early tee times were booked through Golf Now and we apologize for the inconvenience. Since then, we have upgraded our email system and notifications to prevent this from happening in the future. We hope you will give the course another chance and come out to play soon! Thank you for your review!
Challenging & beautiful
Not only is this one of the most beautiful courses in the St. Louis Metro area but it is definitely one the most challenging! That big ole slope rating is correct. Long narrow fairways are like threading a needle for the novice player....well worth the humiliation to get to play this hidden secret...........
One of my favorite courses in the area.
Great views from almost every hole. Tees, fairways and greens are as good as any public course in the Greater St. Louis area. This course is a real sleeper, and I recommend it highly. The staff truly goes out f their way to please.
Something a little different
This is an interesting layout. Lots of tall grass makes it play fairly tight. Rolling hills and mature trees add to the challenge. Played from the white tees, but it's still a little shortish. The 710-yard par 6 with a blind tee shot is a novelty, but hard to figure out for the first-time player of the course. We practically had the course to ourselves on an early Saturday afternoon, which was a bonus. Not a "don't miss" course, but worth the drive for a change of pace.
great potential
Course is in a very nice setting. It could be a great course just needs some improvements to Cart path and some.tee box areas. But it has a good value and some nice greens. Will be one of my regular courses.
What a view!
This course offers beautiful panoramic views of the Central Valley from a number of tee boxes. The environment is serene and quiet. Lots of good opportunities for long straight drives. A couple 500+ yard holes give more than enough opportunity to get out there and really go for the gusto. However, a drive that doesn't run reasonably straight is punished rather harshly as the wooded areas, and tall grass are very dense. The course provides a good deal of challenge for experienced golfers, and is still easy enough for a novice to go out and sharpen their skill set. Pace is good and most of the patrons are pretty laid back. We didn't encounter anyone that was unwilling to let a faster group play through. The course staff is very friendly, and the carts are late model so there is no issue with mechanical failure. The bathrooms in the clubhouse leave something to be desired, but we'll give them a little slack. Given their location its very likely that their are on well water and septic tanks. The cart paths could use some attention, and the maybe the bushes trimmed a bit along the path in some spots. Overall we had a great experience here. And will definitely be returning again.
Course is looking really good
I have played Sun Valley quite a view times in the past, but this was my first round this year. Really impressed on how they have been managing the course and they are keeping it a challenge without it looking like a "cow pasture". That is what everyone used to call it. Greens were awesome and the speed was really good.
The Staff as always were friendly and very helpful. I always like to play here and will definetly return.
Nice views
Course has some nice views could use a few more water stations.
When $13 isn't a bargain
Average greens were best part of course and the back 9 layout could be great but it is in the worst shape of any course I played in the past several years. Rough was simply clover and too much time needed to locate balls especially since was cart path only. Some greens are already turning brown in spots as well. Offered a rain check for back 9 due to lightning in the area and declined. I used to play this course a lot but will not return under current ownership.
Fast round, greens in great shape
My wife and I played at 1030 am. Played in less than 3.5 hrs. Course is very green and in decent shape. Greens are in very good shape. Only downfalls are rough was ridiculous and with clover often lost balls just in the rough because it was so thick. Definitely needs to be cut better. After 4 years away, there are still several cart paths not paved which is just cheesy.
I like the layout and the views and elevation changes are beautiful and challenging. Overall well worth the drive and the cost.
good test
course starts out fairly open, but hilly...progresses to some more difficult holes...elevation changes and somewhat narrow fairways..2nd nine a little more difficult than the front...enjoyable course
Yes the rain has hit us pretty hard this year but we have been working hard to recover from it! So glad you got the chance to come out and see our course. We hope to see you again soon! Thanks for playing at Sun Valley!
