Thunderhart Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Located in the Great Northern Catskills, Thunderhart Golf Course at Sunny Hill is settled within the Catskill basin. The course offers both scenic views and a challenging design. The front nine is a traditional layout with some holes that long hitters will enjoy. There are three that measure over 500 yards. On the slightly tougher, parkland-style back nine each hole was carefully carved from the mature forests that sprinkle the rolling hills. Eleven ponds come into play throughout and the bunkering is minimal, but memorable. Though there are only 15 of them, they are strategically placed to provide a challenging test. In addition to the golf course, there is also a large 250-yard driving range available. Thunderhart is part of Sunny Hill Resort, which offers another 18-hole championship golf course that has a more resort-style feel.

5th Fairway at Thunderhart Photo submitted by u988085167 on 11/26/2019
Rainy day at the course.
Love the course. even in the rain it was very enjoyable.
Wish I lived closer
I was very impressed with this course. The fairway grass seemed a LITTLE long in places, but there were periods of constant rain days leading up to my round, so I'm guessing they just couldn't get to it. But it was still very decent. The greens were like carpets, the roughs challenging but not unrealistic. The course is long,but fair and makes for a fun day for the amateur to immediate player, and even for some who dare the blues. The views were absolutely beautiful.
Extremely friendly and accommodating pro shop
Got there a little bit early and they had a small tournament going on. Checked in and the gentleman in the pro shop came out and said just jump ahead of these guys going to the first tee and you should be good. Worked out to be great never waited and my girlfriend and I had a great time. For the price we paid have to grade it as excellent. If I wanted to be picky tee boxes could have been a little bit better and fairways could have been a bit shorter. Greens for about medium speed but true. For $10 for a cart and green fees what can you complain about. Have to say they wanted to make sure we had a good time and they did and we will be back again. Thank you.
Family time
My wife and. I played with our son and daughter-in-law. Enjoyed the course and the day. Looking forward to the next time.
Fun and friendly environment
We, group of 8, had a spare time to enjoy golfing while staying at cabin in Catskill, and it ended up having the best day while golfing. Course was spotless, well cared. Greens were perfect. Not too easy, but just hard enough to be fun and challenging. Staff were all very friendly as well as all the players there. Planning to visit very soon.
Worth the trip!
Everytime I play thunderhart, I leave in good spirits. Staff and crew always friendly, greens hold incomng shots and roll true. Fairways and tees need some overseeding, but other than that, course plays challenging yet fair. Great mix of holes and shots. You will use every club in your bag. Will return a few times this year.
Wonderful course.
Beautiful course with beautiful views. Greens were in great shape along with the fairways and tee boxes. Wasn’t over busy, didn’t need to rush, slight wait due to elderly gentlemen enjoying their game.
Absolutely great
From the staff(above and beyond), to the upkeep, to the course layout, this course is fantastic!! Loved everything about it
