Sun Valley Golf Resort Course was a good experience especially playing the Par 6 hole that seemed to take forever to reach the end. We played nine holes of the B Course and nine holes of the A Course and we were lucky not to get too much in the way of showers. It was very warm so we were able to keep dry.
The boys played ahead of the girls and really enjoyed the challenge of the day. The girl's highlight was Lynn getting one point on the Par 6 hole. The fairways were beautiful and very wide but the rough was very rough as you can see by the attached photo & we heeded the snake warning signs. The caddies could not speak good English but were very good with their golf advice and made themselves understood. The greens were slow so pace was the important issue. Considering the amount of rain the area had suffered in the last week or two the course was in remarkable condition.
The Pro Shop had some lovely gear but it was very expensive. I bought a pair of golf gloves there and they were one of my better buys quality wise. The golf shirts were about $200 AUD without any club embroidery which was very expensive compared to other places even though the quality was very good.
The Club House was lovely. The locker room facilities were ample with security lockers for our gear. The foyer and restaurants were very nice and we enjoyed a light lunch and drinks after the game.
This course is a "Must Play" if you are ever in this area.
