Thunderhart Golf Course

Thunderhart (at Sunny Hill) is an 18-hole, par 72 course featuring over 6,400 yards of scenic and professionally manicured beauty. Three sets of tees allow golfers of all skill and experience levels to enjoy themselves. The front nine provides a traditional golf experience with 3 holes measuring over 500 yards. The back nine was created in the Parkland style, which has each hole cut through the beautiful forest of the Catskills. Set in the Catskill Basin, Thunderhart offers 11 ponds and 15 sand traps to challenge the most experienced golfer, while providing breathtaking views.

Thunderhart Golf Course has one of the most scenic front nines in the region, along with the beautiful mountain courses of Christman's in Windham and Blackhead Mountain in Roundtop. The front nine also offers fantastic differences not only in distance between the white and blue tees, but also the angle from which you must attack the fairway.

The back nine is a much different course that requires acute accuracy and reliable distance control. With 7 of the 9 holes lined completely with forest, it is somewhat unforgiving to the player who cannot keep the ball straight and true. For long hitters, there are very few places to take advantage of your length, but that is both the beauty and challenge of the back nine. If you believe that golf is about more than just banging the ball long, you will enjoy the opportunity to play a nine hole course that rewards accuracy over power.

As a whole, Thunderhart is very solid golf course with terrific people. There is a hospitable and friendly atmosphere and you get a very good golf course for the price. The greens have improved immensely in just two years of new ownership (Sunny Hill Resort) and other improvements are happening quickly.

If you want a scenic course that provides unique challenges on each hole and a terrific staff, this is the course for you. As maintenance improves, the course will move up to 4 stars in my book, but it's not quite there yet.
