SUN VALLEY GOLF COURSE
🇺🇸 Elsberry, MO, USA
Designed by Gary Kern

Sun Valley Golf Course, carved into the rolling Missouri farmland just outside Elsberry, stands as a testament to accessible golf, a place where the spirit of the game thrives without pretense. The course, while not nationally acclaimed, holds a special place in the hearts of local golfers, and those from neighboring counties. It has become known as a "hidden gem" known for its casual and laid back membership.
While the original design is unknown, Sun Valley presents a straightforward, walkable layout. The open, exposed nature of the terrain, typical of this part of Lincoln County, means wind is often a factor, adding a subtle challenge to what appears at first glance to be an easy track. The bentgrass greens are usually well kept. While the routing lacks the drama of undulating fairways, it more than makes up for that in the welcoming spirit of its ownership.
Sun Valley is beloved by locals for its unpretentious atmosphere. It is a place where generations of families have learned the game. Weekend tournaments are low key with friendly competition, and the occasional friendly wager. While fine dining isn't a standard amenity, they offer a fully stocked bar, and the grill puts out a mean hamburger - some claim they are the best in Lincoln County.
