Sunset Valley Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Beautiful course
Course is in pristine shape and the greens are very difficult. Beautiful place, a little pricey but a lot of fun!
Nice fun course
Tricky greens but fair Price was without a cart so make sure you look at that before booking
Challenging greens
Good track. Long holes. Sloped and fast greens. Raised greens and elevation changes keep it interesting on all approach shots.
home of the 5 hour round
once again another 5 hour round on the weekend, was one of the first groups behind a 30 person outing. there were several holes with that were empty, Rangers do not really try to make people keep pace. seems that management would rather serve alcohol to make money rather than keep pace of play moving. if you want to cater to groups fine, just let the rest of us know, we will go someplace else, i would rather spend 80 or 90 bucks for a 4 hour round than $42 for 5 hours. it is absolutely no fun waiting 5 to 10 minutest to hit every shot. this about the 3rd or 4th time this has happened, so it more of a trend than an anomaly.
i really cant recommend this course, i would be unhappy if someone recommended a 5 hour round.
Challenging course
Excellent course and in great condition! Narrow fairways and need to be an accurate driver. Greens are tricky! Would love to see the burgers precooked so we don’t have to wait 10 mins!
Staff was great as well! Will definitely play there again.
Golf in the hills
It is hilly and can make you work if walking, but in my eyes it is how it should be. Loved the course. Conditions were slightly wet but that's golf. The layout is beautiful and the staff inside and outside were extremely friendly and helpful. We played with 2 added golfers so the pace with 4 was 4:10. Not bad considering the up and down environment of the course. I will be back and would recommend the course highly.
Like a country club
Course in excellent condition considering all the rain from hurricane Elsa. It was cart path only but most of the holes you could have driven on the fairways.
Unprofessional staff
I only had a problem with the groundskeeper on the first hole, I forgot for a second that it was car path only , I went off the car path about 25 feet “ on the first hole” and he immediately drove his huge lawn mower towards me as I was swinging my club and told me that it was car path only , no problem I said and I apologized and told him I forgot , he said it didn’t matter they were going to come and take my keys away , I replied I’m willing to walk not a big deal . As I moved to my next shot I see this groundskeeper follow me with his huge lawn mower about 15 feet away from me as it was running on his cell phone talking loud as I was taking my shot , he then followed me towards the green , In a normal situation I wouldn’t care about a warning and would just let this go ,however it was extremely unprofessional that this guy kept following me all through the first hole within 15 -20 feet and would not back up … Later on I was told by the guys I was playing with that the grounds keeper has an extremely bad reputation , guy needs to be dealt with …
