Sunset Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Located in Longmont, the nine-hole, municipal Sunset Golf Course is a great, affordable option for beginners and families. Opened in 1924, it is one of Colorado's oldest golf courses. Although experienced golfers may not find it challenging enough, the course provides an excellent spot to practice your short game and it is definitely one of the most scenic courses in the area with beautiful views of Long's Peak. The par-68 course covers 5,966 yards from its 18-hole longest tees. The terrain of Sunset Golf Course is quite hilly and the tree-lined fairways are very narrow. No water hazards come into play but the course is well-bunkered. The signature hole is the par-4 fourth hole.

Sunset Golf Course
I have played this course a few times. It had been a couple of years since I last played here. Lots of trees and a hilly course. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I look forward to coming back soon.

Hi , Thank you for the review, we appreciate you coming out and hope to see you again in the near future.
Perfect
Been to this course now about 4 times and each time the course and staff are great.. The grass and overall conditions are always well maintained, but what is really challenging is the trees can make for a rough day if you start with a bad tee.
Hi "RELucero" Thank you for the great review. We appreciate the great compliments regarding the course and our excellent staff. We appreciate you coming out to challenge the course and hope to see you again this weekend!
Best deal in town
Hot deal is the best deal in town. Well worth it at regular price as well. Very scenic 9 hole course that's always in great shape.

Fantastic 9 hole course
I have played sunset for many years-the course is always in fantastic shape. And almost always plays at a good pace. There's No water let it it's very hard to lose a ball if you are doubt abounds it's a great course for a beginning or intermediate player.
Hi "Finfisher" Thank you for the great review! We are so glad that you enjoy the course layout as it is a good course for early beginners. Thank you for coming out and we hope to see you again in the near future.
Gem of a course
Loved playing this gem of a course. The first tee is right on a swimming pool that was packed with kids enjoying the summer. A nice reminder to have fun and be a kid on the course.
Older course. Fun elevation changes. Some shots were a bit daunting right next to roads or houses.
Hi "u591687939" Thank you for the review. It sounds like you had a fun time playing at Sunset today. We hope you enjoyed some challenging shots and can't wait to have you back!
Fun
As we are relatively new to the sport we found it to be a fun course, although as I stated as newbies we really needed a driving range to warm up but this course does not have one. Nonetheless a great course for us.
Hi "RELucero" Thank you for the review. We appreciate you coming out to give Sunset a try. Next time you are more than welcome to warm up on the Twin Peaks driving range before making the 5 minute drive to Sunset Golf Course. Thanks for the review and we hope you will give our other courses twin peaks and ute creek a try. Thanks!
Golfing in February
Playing golf in the middle of February!! Great round and he course was in good condition for the time of year. Super technical and tight. Great spot to work on your iron skills.
Hi "u839280629" Thanks for the great review. We are so glad that you could work on your game so early in February! We hope you enjoyed the course, please come back and see us again soon.
Decent shape for early in the season
For early March, the course wasn't in bad shape. It was busy so the pace was a little slow at times. It was still a great outing. For a 9 hole course, I really like Sunset. It can be challenging
Hi "noterman" Thank you for the great review. We appreciate the feedback and hope to see you again in the near future.
Fun course!
This is a fun course and can be a bit challenging if you miss. Lots of mature trees. I played on Sunday so the Marshall was stacking the tee boxes. If this happens to you I suggest that you discuss slow play and max shots prior to starting. Three over is good. Should be a rule. This course should never take almost three hours.
Change it back to $10
Decent course, decent staff, decent deal. Worth the money
Sunset
Always fun to play Sunset. Pace can be a bit slow if you get behind some folks, but not unexpected. Challenging enough, but not too difficult.
A fun friendly place for a quick round
If you are looking for a fun place for a quick round with your spouse or buddies, this is your place. Short but challenging with great scenery it makes for a great outing. Friendly staff, and the course is in great condition right now.
great course for the money
course was in great shape. just a tip to help you on the greens,,, they all break towards Boulder...
great dad and son golf day
A great day of golf with my 13 year old son! We had a blast.
Longmont Sunset Course
Its only $15 to walk 9holes, sometimes cheaper depending on time. If you look on golfnow.com sometimes you can play 9 for $10, golf cart included. The course is usually in great condition. The course doesn't look overwhelmingly difficult. Looks can be deceiving. I recommend this course, it has great value and gorgeous view. Last comment don't try to overpower the course.
