Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best time of year to play Sun Hills for ideal conditions?
We recommend late spring or early fall for the best experience at Sun Hills. The summer sun can make the back nine a real test of endurance, but in May or September, you'll find perfect temperatures and the course in prime condition. Plus, the views are spectacular without the summer haze.
How challenging are the 'hills' at Sun Hills, and what should I expect from the terrain?
Don't let the name fool you - the 'hills' are more rolling and strategic than punishing climbs. You'll encounter some fantastic elevated tee shots, especially on the front nine, which offer stunning vistas and require smart club selection to account for the downhill carry. It's a fun challenge, not a brutal hike.
Is Sun Hills a good course for all skill levels, or is it geared towards experienced players?
Sun Hills is surprisingly accommodating for all skill levels, which is one of its charms and contributes to its excellent value. While the course offers plenty of strategic bunkers and some tricky green complexes, the fairways are generally forgiving enough for higher handicappers to enjoy a round without too much frustration.
What's the signature hole at Sun Hills, and what makes it stand out?
For us, the par-3 14th hole is the real showstopper. You're hitting from an elevated tee box down to a green guarded by water on the left and bunkers on the right, all with a stunning backdrop of the distant mountains. It's a beautiful, nerve-wracking shot that you'll remember long after your round.
What's the typical pace of play and overall atmosphere like at Sun Hills?
You'll find a wonderfully relaxed and friendly atmosphere here, especially during weekday mornings. Pace of play is generally excellent-we rarely experienced significant backups-and the staff are always welcoming. It feels like a true community course, where everyone is just out to enjoy a good round.
