About
Sunset Valley Golf Course is consistently ranked as one of the best public courses in New Jersey. It is one of four golf courses in the Morris County Parks system and it's considered the toughest. Located in Pompton Plains, the course is nestled in a wooded valley. It has a dramatic topography that provides plenty of ups and downs throughout the golf course. Golfers can expect a variety of elevation changes as well as a few blind shots and forced carries. Strategically placed bunkers come into play along the fast, undulating greens and mature trees line the rolling fairways. Water hazards come into play on a few holes too. Sunset Valley Golf Course's final three holes present one of the area's toughest finishes. The trio begins with the uphill par-5 16th and then finishes with two long par 4s.

Golfer Reviews
A great fall afternoon
Great course, beautifully maintained & looked after every time I’ve played there.
Highly recommended
Not worth the price anymore
Significant price hikes over the past couple of years without an improvement in conditions is made this course unfortunately not as worthwhile as it used to be. As a public course, they price it like it’s France Byrne, but it is definitely not Francis Byrne.
additional $15 aeration fee + $ 50 single rider
This is ridiculous. They charge $15 aeration fee and $ 50 single rider. I have never seen this any other golf course. The starter was also very mean and rude. Do not visit here.
Sunset Valley
Last minute booking as a single on Sunday afternoon. Course in great condition and pace of play good. Relatively hilly in spots. Rough is a good length but slowed play down looking for off fairway shots.
Sunset could be better
We teed off on time, 12:50PM
After the first hole we waited on every shot on every hole
The round took 4 1/2 hours, intolerably too long for a round that started on time
The course condition was fair
Too many unprepared divots and pitch marks on green
Sunset Valley Golf Course
I had a very enjoyable round at this golf course. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived, which set the tone for a great day. The course conditions were good overall, with well-maintained fairways and greens that played true.
The layout is enjoyable and offers a nice mix of holes that keep the round interesting without being overly challenging. Pace of play was fair, allowing us to move around the course comfortably without significant delays.
Overall, it’s a well-kept course with a great atmosphere, friendly service, and an enjoyable layout. I would definitely return and recommend it to others looking for a pleasant day of golf.
Pace of play was the worse I’ve experienced
The staff here has always been rude compared to everywhere else that’s just how I feel. Course was in good condition, played here many times over the years. Pace of play was terrible I don’t know if it was overbooked or just slow players but we had to wait at least 5-10 minutes at every tee box with multiple groups behind us waiting as well. If I’m paying $100 I expect a better experience.
