Renovation / Green Fees
With a strong and early spring turf growing season , we anticipate the new Sunset Valley golf course and clubhouse to re-open late summer . The new course design has transformed Sunset Valley into a distinctive course accommodating every level of golfer with the unique features unlike any other golf course in the area . The project included a complete renovation of all tees , fairways , greens , bunkers as well as overall infrastructure , drainage and storm water management upgrades .
Other distinct features of the new course include :
• All 18 greens have been rebuilt to meet USGA specifications
• Hole shaping and strategically placed bunkers
• Multiple tee complexes to create different course lengths
• Cart path re-routing and additional curbing features
• Hole # 4 is the new “ Signature Hole ” with a larger lake and a stone wall embankment reshaping the green into a peninsula
• Hole # 5 enhancement includes a new green site cut into the existing landform behind the original green with fescue outlining
• Hole # 12 expansion of the lake improves visibility of this beautiful water feature from the tee shot landing area
• Hole # 13 new green site which includes a longer hole
• Hole # 16 expansion of lake improves aesthetics
• Hole # 18 new putting surface connects with the putting green to create one large putting surface providing a dual purpose
Sunset Valley has 5 sets of tee boxes . We urge that you use the proper set of tees for your golfing enjoyment .
