Awful

Took over 5 hrs to play only 16 holes. Not one group offereed our two some to play through. No marshall on the course to keep pace adhered to. Staff was rude as can be. Was surprised on hole 17 by the Marshall yelling at us to head back at 730pm and insisted he told us prior to the start of the round, which never happened. Will never be coming back.

By far Slowest round I’ve ever played

Took 5 hours to play 16 holes before getting kicked out before we finished was not warned at all about the 7:30 cut off time. . Called on hole 5 because there was 6 groups on the beast, was told it’s just a super busy day. First if you’d think if it was that busy you’d have a Marshall out of the course to keep up with the pace of play. Pace of play was terrible. Did more waiting today than actual golfing. I understand it’s a public course of the weekend but spread the tee times out so people can enjoy there round, instead of waiting all day to hit or having groups up your butt all day . Just remember your golf course is only successful because of happy golfers! The views can only get you so far.

Best Greens in Area

This course is a tough course with a lot of elevation change. The par 6 is a neat addition. The pace of play was awful, I think they booked too many tee times around the same time. The greens were probably some of the best in the area and really well taken care of.

First Time Playing

The course is definitely worth the drive and wasn’t crowded. Greens were in good shape and rolled well . Fairways were in good shape for as dry as it’s been also. Staff if friendly, except for the man behind the counter. He seems as though he’d rather be somewhere else. We bought food before our tee time and phoned ahead before the turn for a dog and a burger and were told , kitchen closed . It was 3 pm. It wasn’t so much that it was closed, but the way he said it. Better counter help would make this place a fun place to play golf, the course is great.

Sunny times at Sun Valley

We've had a hot week, and the course was in good shape.

This is a challenging course to play.

Great outing

I have played Sun Valley many times over the past 20+ years and it is in the best shape ever! They have invested over the last several years and it shows.

Slow play

I’ve played this course 4 times and have yet to play a full round due to slow play. I travel the country full time for work and have played 100s of courses and have yet to experience a pace of play as slow as this. I don’t know if it’s the locals missing a few screws or just poor golf etiquette but a Marshall needs to be hired. Do not come here unless you have endless time to spend waiting for someone in front of you. Also, don’t ask to play through because it’s always a hard no from the people who frequent this course.
