Sunset Valley Golf Course

Sunset Road

Highland Park, IL, United States

Sunset Valley Golf Club in Highland Park, Illinois is an 18-hole course that recently underwent an extensive $7 million renovation to both the course and clubhouse. The redesigned layout reflects a British Heathland aesthetic, featuring open fairways accentuated by strategic landforms, flowing masses of native grasses, and groves of trees that echo the character of the original 1920s-era golf course architecture. The club's newly remodeled clubhouse showcases classic design with commanding views of the course and includes an expanded pro shop, the 13ninety restaurant, and a lounge area with fireplace. The course has established itself as a significant tournament venue, hosting prestigious events including the Annual North Shore Amateur Golf Tournament, Korn Ferry Tour Qualifier, CDGA tournaments, and Illinois Open Qualifiers. Sunset Valley has earned recognition for its facilities and design excellence, winning the Illinois Park and Recreation Association Outstanding Facility of the Year award and receiving American Society of Golf Course Architects Design Excellence recognition in 2018. The course is located at 1390 Sunset Road and serves as a community golf destination with various instruction, league, and membership options available.
