Above average, highly recommended
Overall a good value, especially if you are military the discount is excellent. Tee boxes and greens very well maintained. Course condition was well above average for the time of year. A few areas had some standing water due to poor drainage but otherwise no issues. Very empty during the early morning but tee times seemed to fill up around 10am on the weekend. Fairways often ran parallel, thus shanked or mishit balls frequently ended up on adjacent fairways, interrupting pace of play.
Challenging and a Bargain
I’m from the Chicago area and have been playing this course for over 20 years The layout makes it a challenge and the greens are tricky
Try it out and see what I’m bragging about
Sunkist
greens and fairways in great shape, especially for the price. person that checked us in at clubhouse was friendly and helpful.
Inexpensive
Although the rates are fair, the course doesn’t drain well resulting in just average conditions. Greens were the highlight.
Sunkist Country Club
I thought the course was fine. What I expected. Driving range, chipping area, putting green. Pace of play was fine. Members I encountered were friendly. I would play it again.
Nice course, friendly people.
Despite drought conditions, the course was extremely playable. Greens rolled true. Would love to play again.
Cruising the course.
Took a break from cruisin’ and had a great round of golf.
Great course when traveling
The friendliest staff, blown away by the great attitude and customer service. The value was spot on they accommodated our family group of 5.
Punched Greens
Great day of golf. Played with a guy who worked at the course. Very friendly and proud of his course. The greens were punched a few days back and the greens were a little bumpy
