On Course for
Exciting Changes
Sunset Valley Golf Course is closed temporarily as it undergoes a major renovation to the course and clubhouse . We invite you to book your tee times at the Highland Park Country Club while Sunset Valley is under construction . Our Sunset Valley golf professionals will operate the Highland Park Country Club golf course during the year and will offer the same “ Sunset Valley ” quality private lessons , programs and summer golf camps .
Sunset Valley Renovation
With a strong fall and early spring turf growing season , we anticipate the new Sunset Valley course and clubhouse to reopen in July 2018 . The new course design will transform Sunset Valley into a distinctive course accommodating every level of golfer with the unique features unlike any other golf course in the area . The project includes a complete renovation of all tees , fairways , greens , bunkers as well as overall infrastructure , drainage and storm water management .
The most distinguishing change in Sunset Valley will be the transformation of a virtually flat course to a course with dramatically changing topography achieved through strategically placed berms , swales and undulations at each holes . Other distinct features will include :
• Re-building all 18 greens to meet USGA specifications .
• Hole shaping and strategically placed bunkers .
• Multiple tee complexes to create different course lengths .
• Cart path re-routing and additional curbing features .
• Hole # 4 will be the new “ Signature Hole ” with a larger lake and a stone wall that will reshape the green into a peninsula .
• Hole # 5 enhancement includes a new green site cut into the existing landform behind the original green with fescue outlining .
• Hole # 12 expansion of the lake improves visibility of this beautiful water feature from the tee shot landing area
• Hole # 13 new green site which includes a longer hole .
• Hole # 16 expansion of lake improves aesthetics
• Hole # 18 new putting surface will connect with the putting green to create one large putting surface providing a dual purpose .
The new Sunset Valley golf course and club house will provide an exceptional golfing experience for the community . While our crews are busy making these upgrades to Sunset Valley , we welcome you , our valued golfers , to the Highland Park Golf Course for the 2017 season .
