Sunset Ridge Golf Club

Played a tournament here the other day.... It was fun but the place was in rough shape.... honestly it looks like they gave up, which is unfortunate because its a pretty cool place. Basically just very poorly maintained. Tees were terrible as others have said, some with pretty much no grass, but everything else too that should be no brainers for a course... out of bound stakes all over the course were not marked and rotted and laying on the ground which caused problems in the tournament... bunkers were unlike any other place ive seen just piles of mud, fairways are full of crabgrass and weeds like they havent used chemicals all year... one fairways in particular was almost 100% crabgrass from 75 yards to the green.... no maintenance filling divots which are EVERYWHERE! Ant holes all over the greens. What a shame really, the place used to be nice. Luckily the food was good and the view was nice, place could be great if they actually tried.

Played it often. Interesting design: 3 par 3's, 3 par 4;s and 3 par 5's on the front and then again on the back nine holes. Have to use all of your clubs due to hazards (see RAVINE) and ponds.

3 years ago the place looked the best I can remember it. Not sure what changed but its been steadily declining ever since. Its unfortunate because its a fun place to play but its pretty much unplayable in the current conditions. Tee's have pretty much no grass left and aren't maintained at all, greens have ant holes all over them and burn spots, bunkers are just full old mud and weeds and some type of weird granular sand thats like little rocks that ive never seen on another course. Even though they have sprinklers i dont think they are watering the fairways because they are hard and dying. Its sad really, I know we havent got much rain but no other course around looks like this place.

I love this course, play it frequently. Fast challenging greens, great layout. My only complaint is that the tee boxes could use some work.

Course is in great shape! Entire Staff, including the crew on the mowers, very friendly and attentive! The greens were some of the best in the area. New players may struggle a little w/all the hills, but worth the learning lesson! The greens are big & encouraging to try to hit! Look forward to going back again!!

Thank you from,

Sunset Ridge has never been better. The course held up all season with excellent greens and fairways. The new management and staff are top shelf and know whet they are doing. Easy to get tee times and the layout is playable but challenging. I’ve played there for 12 years and couldn’t recommend it more strongly. Excellent membership options and tremendous value.

My previous review of my experience yesterday was based on being treated kind of carelessly. I went back to play the next day and what a difference! The young man greeted me and was very welcoming as he saw I was a single made sure I wouldn't run into league. This is the way I've been treated there 99% of the time. Maybe I was a little to sensitive under my emotional conditions.
It doesn't change the fact that this is one of the best courses in the area. As always I will continue to recomend.

I've was extremely disappointed today.
I know Sundays are busy, so to my surprise the 1st tee was open.
I ask if I could get out the guy said sure. I played 4 holes, on the fifth hole there were 3 groups sitting and waiting to hit. So as a single player I looked for a open hole.
It was jammed! No marshall.
When I went to get a rain check for tomorrow the guys said it wasn't raining! The he divided my greens fee by 18 subtracted 4 and gave me the difference. Then told me they had a tournament out also. This is the kind of "we don't care attitude" that closes courses. I am going to stop recommending this courses. And stop playing there.
I've play all over. Played there about 10 times this year. They know it.
I'm not sure why he had to rag on me.
Told me I should have brought someone with me. I ignored it. I lost my wife to cancer 6 months ago.
This is the 1st year that I have to play single. It makes me feel closer to her..

Played a tournament there recently, I hadn't been there in a while and heard the new owners turned it around. Most of the place is in decent shape, but they are by far the worst tee's Ive ever seen. Some have more dirt then grass, holes everywhere that arent filled in and it doesnt seem like they are seeding them at all. Several we not mowed low at all either. Someone would be fired if I owned the place. They also are not level at all, so it makes your tee shots tough. They have 3 or 4 tees per hole and just need to close them off and redo them, they are a real turn off for what could be a great course. Other then that its a great layout and fun, greens are tough and fast, but have spots and damage in some areas. Im just not sure they realize you can purchase grass seed and plant it it to grow new grass....

Fun place to play, you can hit all the clubs in your bag. Some risk reward holes, reachable par 5's and some challenging par 3's. Greens are tough and fast but hold, ease of the round depends on the pin positions because are very tricky and lots of break and very fast downhill.... some of them on this day were questionable. Fairways were decent, certainly could have been cut shorter and could use some overseeding. Rough was manageable but lots of clover and weeds that should be killed. some tees were in really rough shape and make the place look worse then it really is, I dont know why they arent using some fast growing seed and watering and leveling them. Range was the same way, looks like it gets lot of practice play and not seeding, leveling and mowing. Good beer selection, good food. Course could be really exceptional if they fix up the tees and do some work where needed.

A very fun golf course, tough greens. Good green speed with lots of slope. We had a nice dinner on the deck overlooking the golf course. I will be back soon to play another round

Played this course many times over the years and sadly it never got better as far as the overall course conditions....cart paths always the same rock/dirt paths. Bunkers with awful sand and ponds that look like crap.....Parking lot has never been paved and is a dust bowl...don’t bring a nice clean car there...Tee boxes need some work. Greens are fast and very indifferent but it is what it is... It would be great if they could at least pave the paths all the way out on 1/9/10 ...it would look amazing from the deck if this was done...I’ll come back this time next year in hopes there’s some changes...

I have played this course before. It can be challenging. Especially now with the rain we have had in CNY. The rough was long and unfortunately I found it too often. Greens seemed to run fast, then slower. The grounds crews are working feverishly to mow, but it has been tough for them to get around to some places. I will return again.

Played another course the previous day which had substantially slipped in the past 12 months, I was looking for a course which was as in good condition as possible. I found it in this course in all ways. Only regret is that I could not return the following day for a re-do, since we had to go back home to CT. Will definitely return next year.

Welcoming staff. Beautiful day. Challenging holes that still offered abundant chances to score. I would definitely play again if in the area.
