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.

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 …
Staff needs to be more courteous
When patrons says thank you, the correct responses is you’re welcomed not no problem.
But overall very good
Hidden gem
Tucked away and for a muni course. It’s one of the best. Brutal greens. Tree lined fairways with plenty of bunkers to challenge you. I play there once a week and will continue to do so for years to come !
Best course in Morris county
The best course in Morris county. Course in excellent condition with the greens super difficult. Views are spectacular. A little pricey but had a great time.
Good course
Challenging course greens are very hard to read breaks a lot interesting like rhe challenge.
What a test
Played on super hot day. Very difficult course. Perfect conditions with elevation changes and crazy hard greens.
