Sunset Valley Golf Course

I am embarrassed that it took me so long to discover this gem. My father in law had told me about Sunset Valley yet I had never made it out. Man I am glad I finally did.

Great staff at the start, maintenance crew was kind enough to back out of the way (I was out at 6am and walking so they were changing the hole locations when I was approaching the greens)

The only rub I had was 16, 17, 18. It was described to me as some of the best finishing holes in NJ -- maybe so -- but each fairway was soaked. Totally saturated ...

All in all, a great place. I hope to get back soon.

Overall, liked course quite a bit. Since Billy Caspar started managing seems the overall upkeep of the course has improved. Love that they offer 5:30 a.m. tee times. Course requires you to shape shots in certain situations which is fun. Nice variety of very challenging homes and holes that provide a little reprieve. Green complexes can be very severe, depending on pin placement. In some cases if you do not hole put you can go 7-10 feet by hole. Pretty penal at times. A lot of potential to slow down play, but overall was not an issue on the day.

Pace of play was slow. I was paired up with 3 other golfers that knew each other but we had a nice day. The course had a cart shortage, waiting for players to come off 18 to get new groups out. Conditions were great. Greens were slower than one would expect. The blue tees were playing up, but we played from the white. Overall it was a great day

I play here 10-15 times a year for last 7 years course has never been in better shape. Some tee boxes still need some work overall course is good shape. great layout, with tough greens. Remember this is a nice county course close to nyc and everything so yes its gonna be busy like any other course in the area thats worth playing so if u dont want a long round tee off early.

Course was good but it shouldn't take 4 hr and 50 minutes to play. The rangers need to enforce the times!!!! Thats the most important job they have and they can't even do that!!!!

It is apparent that resources have been devoted to upgrading course conditions, of course it is early in the season and conditions should be good. I have played here before when tee boxes were dirt and the greens were rock hard so this is an improvement . It is a hilly course, walking is an endurance test, better to ride. There was a heavy rain the night before and the sand traps were compacted, but unlike some county courses there was sand in them. The staff was friendly. Golf now added some charges from the price on the website when I checked out.

I have played this course many times in the past but not in the last 12 years and always liked the layout. Since I last played several of the holes have been reconfigured and new tee boxes and greens have been added. All of the improvements are fantastic! The condition is pretty amazing for a public course. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking for a well maintained and challenging course and with a greens fee of $37 is a very good value. I booked the tee time the day before with golf advisor and we teed off at exactly the time that was booked.

The starter and bag attendant were absolute gentlemen . Thank you and I will be back.

Course was a little wet - cartpath only - it played well - not terribly long but presented some interesting challenges - the one thing I didn't like was booking through golf now for 51 bucks only to find when I printed out the confirmation that it was the walking price - had to pay another 15 bucks for cart - not cool

The course was in great shape greens smooth and true but tough

the front 9 had the worst pin positions. we are not pros we are trying to have a good time. the club said not to use golf now, that they are sneaky.

The start of 2014 season brings new management to the Morris County golf courses. The management will run and maintain the courses for the season. The website is still under construction at this time and employees are learning the new procedures.
Playing the course this time of season was in average condition considering this past winter. Played as a single and finished 18 in 2 1/2 hrs

Very populated place, so you may wait long times during the play.

I always use golfnow.com to make reservation. I recommend you to use Golfnow.com. It's great ! Sunset Valley Golf Club was well maintained and all staffs were very friendly. If you missed the hole, your ball will be out of green. Green is very fast.

awesome course to play at must see greens are amazing and the scenery was nice

some greens are very bad condition. pace is slow, and pile up, we have to keep waiting for a long time on every hole. i.e one par 3 hole in front 9, we are waiting more than 20 mins, b/c one group was still on the green, and one group in front of us are waiting to tee up. and there are more groups keep coming from behind..

The course is very scenic but the greens ant tee boxes are in horrible shape. The greens are practically un-puttable on several holes. The starter wasn't very pleasant either. Fairways and rough are very well kept. I would play here again but this course needs some serious upgrading.

The course was in good shape considering that it is close to the end of the season. A couple of new greens (2 and 7) needed some better care. The greens are really fast and the pin placements did not help. Overall a very good public course with some challenging greens.

Course was in very good shape. Gave it 3 stars because of the greens, bumpy and not in great shape. The remodel is a big plus to the course.

If you are planning to play here, please call and ask if they have an outing that day. If they do, find another course ASAP. Mine was the first group out after the last group in the outing teed off. As we got to the 3rd tee, we were one of 5 groups between the 3rd green and another waiting to hit their approach shots into number 2! Watching the two groups ahead of us, they should never be allowed on a golf course again. For the first time ever, over 40 years, I walked off the course after 9 holes because I'm certain the back nine would have taken at least 3 hours.
