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.

Great

I love Sunset Valley, always have.

Over the last couple of years the upkeep had not been great, but asides from one temporary tee box and a couple of patches of dead grass, the course was in great shape

Keep up

In my group there was a slow player. Somebody call the office. We were lagging. The Ranger came. So we did better after that. Good catch.

People may feel uncomfortable telling someone “stop hitting so many balls” but the Ranger can. You don’t get better hitting another ball.🤪
