Scratched the itch

After 2 days of downpours, my wife and I were ready to get out of the house. Didn’t want to spend a bunch of money to play and didn’t at Sunset Hills.(36$ per) It is priced where a course like this should be. It isn’t overly long but I hit enough drivers to make it fun. There is a nice variety of holes and I hit most of the clubs in my bag.There are a lot of rocky areas around the cart paths so keep it in the fairways. Soggy but not unplayable after A LOT of rain. Very small, flat greens that putted ok for not being mown. I will need to play it again in better conditions to truly get a sense of the value but overall it played in under 4 hours and “scratched the itch.”

Bottom of the barrel

Probably the worst course around, however, with the perks membership it’s $7 to walk 9 holes. Easily the lowest rate around Charlotte. So if you’re just looking to get outside and play, you can for very cheap.

Driving range and practice green are poor as well, but they have them.

No Customer Service

Booked and paid for a tee time on the 25th of Dec. for a foursome. Drove 45 minutes there and it was closed.
Called back on the 26th to try to arranged a rain-check for another day. The guy said he didn’t see any transactions made which was clearly a lied. The guy was very rude and uncooperative. He didn’t made any effort to accommodate anything or retain a customer.
If they are closed on the 25th, they shouldn’t listed any tee times. Had to resolved it with GolfNow which they verified by calling the course confirming my case.
Sunset Hill, please train your staff on customer service and common courtesy.

Good for the money

Pretty easy and forgiving golf course. A lot of open fairways and a lot of drivable par 4s. Greens rolled surprisingly well and course was in pretty good condition. For the price it’s hard to beat.

Course was too crowded

Our tee time was at 1:09, and the tee times online seemed to be spaced out 12 min, which is normal. But figured out there were walkin tee times scheduled 6min apart, so before we teed off on hole 1, there were 3 groups waiting in front of us.

Great course for beginners and seasoned golfers alike

My son and I had a great time playing. He has only played a few times so it was great that the course is open and not terribly challenging. It was a ton of fun and we will be back!

Booked but course was closed

I booked a tee time on Golfnow and showed up to play my round but the course was closed. Wasn't noticed prior. I also booked the tee time the day prior. If they knew they would be closed, they shouldn't allow bookings.

Bad upkeep and no personality front desk

I get it this is a public course but the conditions of the course were horrible. They are redoing a lot of the tee boxes (not told beforehand) and the rough was really rough. I had some buddies in from out of town and I told them this was a decent course and forgiving. Boy was I embarrassed. The greens were like plush carpeting from the 70’s.
