Sunset Valley Golf Course

If you like a putting challenge you will enjoy this course. Well kept greens are hard to read and quite fast. The whole course is well kept and the pace was perfect.

Played Sunset Valley on a rainy and windy day. The course held up against the rain very well. Greens were damp but still fast and true. No puddles or standing water anywhere. Pace of play was great with the course being empty.

When I booked it did not include a cart, I thought it did so we got charged another &20 each!

Where is the hot deal?

First time playing and loved it! Great scenery all over the course. The holes were challenging and greens were tough! Definitely a great course to put your skills to the test!

The course is a well-designed course with challenging layout. I am speaking as a novice golfer with under 2 years of experience. I enjoyed the course and for being early in the season I did not see any big issues with the conditions. One thing that does annoy me is how courses charge each rider of a cart the cart fee. I feel this is an extra charge that courses place on players that is really not necessary. But overall, it is a good course.

The course was in surprisingly good condition for March. Fairly dry, greens were in good condition. Very windy but many holes were protected by the mountains. We started 30 mins late due to a frost delay. Nothing you can do about that.

I got to the course at 11:40am for a 11:50am tee time. I understand that's not ideal timing but things happens and I got there before my tee time. The starter walked out to the parking lot to hurry me up and then was extremely rude to me. He felt the need to explain to me that I should have already been on the 1st tee box and that I should have arrived 20 mins early. As the last person of staff that you see before you start your round, I don't think there is any harm in being kind and friendly before you send someone off. This is not the only starter that is extremely rude, there is another woman and she has a TERRIBLE attitude. On top of all of this, the green slopes are insane, most of the fairways are dirt and the tee boxes are the worst!! This course used to be great and friendly but now they are overcharging for the customer service and overall play.

If you live in Morris County, do yourself a favor and pick a county card. The normal 90+ they charge here exceeds the quality of the course. The woman inside the pro shop who checks you in is always very friendly. I’ve had some weird experiences with the starters here. (If you’ve been here, you know the guy). Overall though, it is a solid local option with an interesting layout and some tough greens. You can’t really hack your way around this one. My one real complaint is that the pace can be very slow at times. Not sure if it’s overbooking or just people not playing ready golf. But, I’ve had a few 5 hour rounds here.

One of those courses - after playing the first tone, you want to go back out and play it again

Course was unfortunately very brown due to lack of rain. The surface was very hard creating unusual bounces.

Rocks everywhere, and I mean everywhere. A great place to destroy a nice set of clubs.

Tee boxes were mix and match some good others not so great. Greens were the worst I have seen around north jersey. Zero divet fixes, odd pin placement and greens are either super fast or super slow.

Sand traps dont have enough rakes as mentioned by other reviewers. The one thing that makes me not want to return is the other golfers on this course. Other players will steal your ball constantly causing you to have to drop balls or lose them, pick up your ball and walk off with it. Just not a great experience overall. I wont be returning to this course. There are soooooo many other better options for the 80$

+ Birdied third hole
