Wonderful Course for the Price

Sunset Hills is a wonderful beginners course for those who are newer to the game than others. There is plenty of difficult shots to make and at the same time its easy to correct your mistakes. The only issue is that since it is a public course the pace of play is okay at best typically. Although the value for what you're getting makes it 100% worth it in my opinion and I have always had a good time coming here. I'm hoping with the new management company that once they are done redoing the tee boxes they will focus on the greens.

Go play for yourself!

There are lots of opportunities for low scores if you can place the ball well. Small greens are challenging, but that’s what makes you a better player! I played the course and had a lot of fun with a co-worker. Definitely will be going back! I’ve payed a lot more for a lot worse! Course has several spots that we’re roped off and had sod put down. I don’t ding the course for this, I’m actually glad to see they are working on the course! There are a lot of good courses that get neglected, but the staff seems to want to improve things. For $23 it’s very good for the money. I would encourage people to go play the course for themselves and ignore the reviews. Seems like a very decent muni course.

Worst course ever

I have been playing golf for a while now and this is by far the worst course you will step on. After the first hole you simply wanna go home. The greens aren’t even greens you have a better chance of putting in your backyard grass. Do not waste your money here.

Awful

Wouldn’t recommend playing here, can’t expect much for 30$ but this felt like I was in my backyard. Mostly weed covered fairways, and the greens felt like a 70s carpet rolling a generous 4 on the stimp. Would highly recommend better golfers not to play here.

Easy open course for the value

This course is very open with wide greens. If you’re a low handicap looking for a challenge (other than try to escape the hard sand traps here), this may not be for you. But for the price, this course offers a good time to work on your game. It’s a par 71 course. The fairways and greens weren’t as bad as I expected. The sand traps were basically concrete but the rain the day prior may have played a role in their quality.

TLDR: affordable course that’s worth the value

Really good value

Overall this course was not bad and a really good value. I will play here again. There are some areas on the fairway and a few greens that need attention but nothing I couldn’t get over. The golf cart was in good shape and the pace of play was pretty fast.

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.
