Reviews
Great beginners course.
Sunny hill was an interesting golf course, staff was unaware that you could make a tee time there stating that "they don't make tee times" however after a few minutes we were let out on the course. The course itself is extremely easy, especially the front nine being a par 30. The back nine was a bit harder but still overall pretty easy. It was hard to distinguish fairways from rough and the greens were very bumpy. It was enjoyable though for the price, if you are a beginner it would be great but for myself it was far too easy. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun short course with nice scenery.
Great course
Beutiful and we'll maintained, the tees are in great shape. The greens are wide and fairly level. I absolutely loved this course. i can't wait to.get back.
Tee boxes need repair
Most of the tee boxes need repair. A lot of kids on the course and on a couple occasions I'm sure they took my ball when I sliced. Very frustrating...
This course is challenging
The greens and fairways were in greeaty shape. The course is short but, very challenging eith different shots not just driver then a wedge. I am going back soon.
Terrible Memorial Day Weekend
I have played this course many times over the last ten years, and I have never had problems. However, Memorial day weekend was a disaster. I showed up and they threatened not to honour my online tee time, but then he told me "I was lucky and could get me out". The pace of play was a disaster. There were many open holes but huge bottle necks, probably because they sent out a group of 5 and a group of 6. I have never seen more than a foursome in my life, nevermind a holiday weekend. There were no rangers, so the terrible pace of play continued through the front 9.
Great time
The course was in very good condition and considering we played in the fall with plentyofleaves down, the fairways were cleared and mowed. We really enjoyed ourselves and will return.
Course with variety
Nice open par 5s, challenging dog leg 4s and fun par 3s that challenge you over water. Great views of the catskill mountains.
nice track
fairways were a little beat up and dry but greens were in excellent shape
Great Shape - Small Greens
The epitome of a fair-priced round of true mountain golf. Many holes nestled deep into the mountainous woods of the northern Catskills, and it plays as such. Course layout is good, the greens are very small, but this challenge makes up for the lack of bunkers on the course. Greens are firm and were rolled when I played, but weren't cut short and played slow. Regardless, greens were in good shape and if cut shorter they'd roll much faster and truer. The rough was punishing in many spots, which I like. The Catskills have had a wet summer, so I attribute a lot of the rough thickness to the above average amount of rainfall. Can't wait to get back out there soon.
Easy round for new golfer
For a older golfer or beginner this is the spot
amazing views and back 9 is always tough
Fun round
Course is well kept and staff is very nice. the hats and shirts are a bargain compared elsewhere
Challenging and forgiving
Wide open fairways on the front a bit narrower on the back. Nice advantage for the ladies. Greens in very good condition. Lovely scenery located in the Catskill Mountain area,
Excellent Shape
Course was in excellent shape. Except for some tree debris, greens were great (best I've played on this season). It is a beautiful course especially when it is lush green. I have played later in the season here and it has dried out. If they can keep it like this, it is a gem.
Fun, friendly, scenic course !
Played with a couple members. Very friendly folk!
Views were great, greens in great shape, moved right along, what's not to like?
There's a couple pretty tight holes. Some water, doglegs both right and left.
Would definitely recommend.
The views are outstanding
Other than the extremely high humidity the course was a pleasure to play. Thank you for a great opportunity
this course has a wide open front and avery tight back nine
course was in good condition considering the end of long dry hot couple of weeks but we were a twosome and there was no attempt to pair three other twosomes and we were behind a very slow threesome 43/4 hrs called clubhouse for a ranger they said they would send one out never showed
Very nice course for a great price
Usually they do not like having people play the hot deals, but this course was great about it. Showed up a little early and they sent me right out. Played quick as few people I encountered let me zoom through. Great course! Some easy, some very difficult as should be.
Very enjoyable
First time we played this course. Very enjoyable course.
This course is a must-play
This is a beautiful course, I play it every time I am in the area. The staff is very courteous and it's a beautiful course.
Thunderheart - Great Value
Thunderheart is a challenging course with a an excellent routing. Great views. Course was in good condition and greens rolled true, but a bit slow.
