Rating 71.8

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.

Course has always been a nice layout

The greens were terrible. Too many ball marks never repaired. Upkeep of the greens left a lot to be desired. Some of the tee boxes were also in bad shape. Seems like there is not much money being spent on maintenance.

not happy with small mention of walking rate when we signed up

signed up for 12:20 tee time on a thur pm for 39$ and we felt it was a good price commensurate with course. we check in and we're told there is an additional 18$ per person cart fee. now we're paying 57$ for 12:20 thur tee time for a county course. upon checking the original hot deal it was mentioned it was a walking rate but I had contact with a golfnow employee and no mention of walking rate. so be aware fellow golfers of this practice at this course

Friday golf day

Day started rainy but by the second hole, the rain ended and the next time we felt drops was putting on the 18th green. First time here and it's a nice looking course. Fair pace of play though our two some was sandwiched between a slower front group and faster back group. But all was good. The tee boxes, fair way and greens were all in good shape. Another GolfNow deal - under $50 for the round - cart was additional - I think around $18 pp. Not bad a nice Friday afternoon of golf.

Sunset Valley Oct 2016

Course is in good condition. No issues with tee boxes, fairways or the traps. Greens were faster on this day of play than last. Faster greens make for higher scores with all the undulations on most greens. Pace of play was good, however the other two some of our group had no business playing the blue tees. Perhaps Billy Casper Management would consider implementing tees by handicap as I've seen at other courses on the west coast.

Not worth the price

Due to the shape of course, I find 80 dollars to play is to much. Greens were bumpy,tee boxes shabby. If you can find a good deal,its worh playing

Course is in bad condition

ok so I played today and shot a 90, weather was great, course staff very friendly, one thing that got me was that the cart isn't included in fee, so the round was $80 bucks, very steep for a course in this condition, asides from that mostly all tee boxes are gone, basically playing from dirt, with a few strands of grass on them, fairways were decent, though there was some bad grass noted around some greens, and how can I forget the greens, I think 2 were in good shape, 17 and 18, the rest are all beat up, lots of ball marks and cups out of round, with lips etc, looks like people use their club head to scoop ball out of cup, messing it up, and I don't think anyone has ever fixed a ball mark. Overall, very disappointing, course is beat up, a nice track but in bad shape

Doesn't live up to the hype

Quite a mediocre track. Short but challenging. The website touts it's women friendliness but it was not at all evident. Below par pro shop and snack bar. Green fees do not include a cart. (?). Staff very nice, though. We won't be back.
