Rating 58.1

Located in the east valley, the Sunland Village Golf Course is an 18-hole course with a traditional layout. The semi-rolling landscape of the course features subtle elevation changes and tall, mature trees sprinkled throughout. The medium-sized greens are slightly undulating and the fairways are tree-lined. There are also ponds on the course that come into play on many holes. A notable hole is the par-3 16th. It is a mere 86 yards, but it requires a precise shot past water to the green. The Sunland Village Golf Course facility has three different putting and chipping greens for golfers to use as well as a driving range.

Nice Executive Course

With Greenfield Lakes looking more like an episode of GoT after the dragons got ahold of it, Sunland Village is a very nice, close by alternative for those looking to play a shorter course in the east Valley. Lots of water scattered throughout the course, trees line many fairways making it imperative to keep it in the fairway on the "longer" holes.

Entire course is green, even in the dead of summer. Tee boxes in good shape, greens were true and well conditioned, bunkers needed a bit more sand to make them more playable. Staff was courteous and friendly even to someone who doesn't live in the Sunland Village complex, which is sometimes an issue at other courses.

Very nice course to practice your mid and short irons. Also has an all grass driving range and practice putting green. PoP was about 2.75 hours.

Nice course but...

This is a fairly nice executive-style course. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in good condition. Well worth the money, compared to other courses in the area.

My only issues are:

- We had a 8:52 tee time but did not tee off until almost 9:30. How can a course be behind by over a half hour so early in the morning.

- While waiting to be called for our tee time, members (three ladies) with a later tee time cut in front of us. They asked us what our tee time was and they said being that far behind was BS. They went inside the proshop and when they exited, they said "we told them!" and proceeded to cut in front of us.

- We made on reservation on line and paid a fee up front. We received a detailed confirmation email, that listed "sales tax" and "Amunt due at course." I didn't check my credit card untiil the following day and noticed we were charged $9.56 more than the price indicated in the email. I called the course and they said the difference was sales tax. I don't mind paying the tax but the email should have said, "even though we charged you sales tax once, you'll have to pay more at the course, so the amount due at course is not the amount you'll actually pay at the course."

Great Experience

This course was good bang for the buck. Great staff. Well organized and on time. Though I prefer full courses the smaller executive course was perfect for me on this day. Greens were in great shape, rolling true and just fast enough. The layout was pretty straightforward and course in good shape generally. Mostly par 3s and a handful of short par 4s. Pace of play was very consistent - we were done in under 3 hours. Overall a worthwhile afternoon.

Great beginner course

Course is well maintained, staff is friendly, some easy par 3s with some good length par 4s. Greens were running a little fast but overall great course looking forward to my next time playing it!

Hidden Gem

Wanted to get in a quick round in on a Friday before lunch time. Didn’t expect too much for a Par 63 course. What a pleasant surprise. The clubhouse felt local and friendly. The grounds were in great shape. The traffic was minimal, as a bogey golfer, I didn’t feel rushed. I ended up finishing part of the back nine with a retired gentleman who invited me to join him. Overall an excellent experience.

Great Value Well Maintained Short Course

Surprisingly well maintained short course with nice greens and a decent amount of water. At $35 pp on Labor Day, the value was unbeatable. At that price point, no brainer recommendation! Staff was friendly, communicative, and went the extra mile to make sure I was able to retrieve two club head covers that I forgot in my cart.

A hidden gem

Well laid out course with a nice balance of a few drivers and short game. If you okay on weekends, the pace is slower than weekdays. But overall, a fun course.

Restaurant and Pro Shop not on the same page

I asked about getting a cooler with some ice in it since it was 108 degrees. The pro shop said I could get it free from the restaurant. When I went in to the restaurant they wanted to give me a plastic bag with some ice in it! How crazy is that? It would just melt in a few minutes. They said they could not give me a small cooler unless I ordered some beer to go in it. They would not accept my request to put Gatorade in it since I don't drink. The woman was not happy but finally agreed to give me the cooler if I bought one beer. So, I gave the beer to the pro shop guy. But clearly they are not clear even though they are in the same small building, The restaurant lady clearly was not concerned about me being practically the only golfer on the course in the hot late morning. Suffice it to say, I did not order lunch from the restaurant.
