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.

Great price

Course has been in great shape in 2022 after not playing here for several years I golfed multiple times here this year.

Very scenic course with NO HOUSES!

Food options are basic.

Good possibility of bees in your beers during spring/summer

Can't beat it for the price! Worth the drive.

Fun course but no Marshall to keep things flowing. If you are cool with a 5-6 hour round for a fair deal then play here. Some tee boxes could use some attention but fair price .

Beautiful views & a great value

My 1st time there in 20+ years. I had forgotten how much I like this course. Great lay-out with a good mix of open and tight holes, and lots of elevation changes. Some of the views from the course are worth the green fees alone. Also, no road noise or neighborhood homes to worry about. Some of the tee boxes and fairways were a bit rough, but the weather has been very dry, so this was to be expected. The greens were in great shape (firm, fast and true); better than most I've played in the greater St. Louis area. Well worth the modest green fees and the 30-minute drive up US 61.

Fun at Sun Valley

I have played Sun Valley golf course a lot over the years and will continue to play there in the future. I bring various friends out there and they enjoy the course like I do. I play out here a lot with my son and then it's off to Cadillac Bills restaurant. I just played here last Wednesday and am playing again tomorrow. The course is in great shape Thanks to the work of the groundskeepers.
