Sunset Valley Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Sunset Valley Golf Course is consistently ranked as one of the best public courses in New Jersey. It is one of four golf courses in the Morris County Parks system and it's considered the toughest. Located in Pompton Plains, the course is nestled in a wooded valley. It has a dramatic topography that provides plenty of ups and downs throughout the golf course. Golfers can expect a variety of elevation changes as well as a few blind shots and forced carries. Strategically placed bunkers come into play along the fast, undulating greens and mature trees line the rolling fairways. Water hazards come into play on a few holes too. Sunset Valley Golf Course's final three holes present one of the area's toughest finishes. The trio begins with the uphill par-5 16th and then finishes with two long par 4s.

Short, Tough & Fun (Just Like Me)
With the whites at just under 6,000, this should be much easier. But SVGC never met a hill or protected elevated green it didn’t like. That plus quick, large dance floors makes for a very fun day.
Kudos to the grounds crew and staff: y’all are doing a great job this year!
Walkers take note: it’s a hilly amble but well worth it if your calves can hang. The setting is really perfect for a clear, sunny day.
Sunset Valley Great Value
A lovely course with interesting holes and very pretty views. A good value especially if you walk, which I'd a good workout, especially the back nine.
Fun course
Great course. Challenging without being unfair. Greens were great, overall conditions were great. Will come back.
Keep up
In my group there was a slow player. Somebody call the office. We were lagging. The Ranger came. So we did better after that. Good catch.
People may feel uncomfortable telling someone “stop hitting so many balls” but the Ranger can. You don’t get better hitting another ball.🤪
