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.

Hidden Gem

This is a phenomenal course. It’s an hour drive for me one way but I’ve played it 3 times in the last month if that tells you how good this course is for the money. Greens are on par with courses double the cost. Great hole designs and very friendly to people of all skill levels. 10/10

We enjoy playing this course. Always a challenge, sometimes it plays a little slow, but the people are usually great!

Fun course

Good course fun to play. They sent out a group playing a 4 man scramble I was on 15 and had to skip to hole 18. That sucked guys were cool but had to go around. Went in to say something and the guy at counter was on the phone so just left. Other than that it was a fun day. My tee time was at 740 they made me wait till 8 or I would have been done.

Greens were great

love sun valley. people are nice, you can stretch it out to a decently long course and it has a ton of fun hole layouts...including the par 6, a couple fun par 5's and a par 3 with lots of elevation change.

Embarrassing management

Played on July 4th( behind a group of 8 and a group of 7), took 2hours and 40 minutes to get through the first 9. Decided to give it another chance, same manager.... trued to go out on 10th tee( already 15 minutes behind tee time). He pitches a fit, so back to 1st tee. Guaranteed me that at no time would there be any 8- somes, 5- somes, or even singles while he's there. He has no idea, and after my 5 plus hours of waiting on every tee, I inform him , there was a group in front of us with 2 infants and a toddler.... no way he says!!! Get out there and marshall the course!!!! Worst 2 experiences in golf in the last 40 years! This guy couldn't manage a push mower on a 1/4 acre lawn! Sorry I had to pay twice for this.
