Great price, average condition

Only downside is the greens here are very slow all around, fairways, tee boxes, rough, and layout are all great.

Sun Valley

I have played this course many times and it is one of my favorite layouts in the area. Greens were rolling good. Older guy working inside is super rude so that’s always fun to expect when you play.

Pace of play.

Was very frustrating. Cart path only????? Why? There were multiple groups of high school age golfers that were walking and skipping hole, jumped in front of me. One hole took 25 minutes (par 3 9th), because they skipped from the 4.th tee to the 7th. No one watching them, when they finished the 9th, they went back to 1 and there were about 6 golfers playing together. If it was a high school team, then make the coach monitor them. The back 9 was slow, if I wouldn’t have spent 25 minutes in 9, I would have been able to play through the slow twosome ahead of me. Looking for balls??? So I got to 11 and waited 15 minutes. Finished that hole and went home. Need a Marshal.

No alert of closure

Booked a tee time the day before. Drove an hour, which I’m fine with because this is one of my favorite courses, but when i arrived the gates were closed and I received no notification. I get that it was colder and windy but all I’m asking is for a notification so I don’t waste so much gas.

Great value!

I like how the front nine holes are more roomy to land your shots, while the back nine holes are more narrow and challenging. Overall course layout is good. Zoia fairways are a bonus. Greens are in good condition.

Kinda rushed

I had a 12:40pm tee time and was told several things when checking in. First, the cart had to be in by 4:15pm, not just done playing by then, but cart unloaded and returned by then. Perhaps they should not have online tee times going up until 5pm, it gives the impression that you can play until dark. Second, that it was paths only and that the back 9 was closed due to the wet conditions, and that I could play the front 9 twice to get my 18 holes in. I wasn’t surprised that the back 9 was closed, they have done that in the past due to snow coverage / meltage, or just wet conditions. When I was getting ready to start my second 9 the checkin person was standing there and asked what my tee off time was. I had completed my first 9 in 1 1/2 hours and he said well that seems like a good pace. I felt it was excellent considering all of the walking due to it being paths only. I think he was just trying to push people along. There was another group behind me, I wonder what he said to them. Anyways, I have had many enjoyable rounds at Sun Valley over the years, and the course workers are generally nice, but this one left me feeling it wasn’t worth the long drive (50 miles/1 hour one-way for me).

Don’t play till spring!

Don’t waste your money. You can only play the front 9! I didn’t know that until I showed up. Second, the greens are so slow! My carpet at home is faster. I even got a “hot deals” discount and still feel ripped off. I get that it is winter, but other courses nearby are in much better shape for the money.
