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-34 course covers 2,981 yards from its 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.

Where everyone knows your name
Great front range vistas. Long’s Peak off first tee and Pike’s Peek off number 3. Pete is a great host-the only one who actually cares enough to know my name. Good price with cart included or a great walk. Just a friendly place and a real gem. Our favorite place.
Favorite course in Longmont
Diamond in the rough. Offers a new challenge every week! This course will humble you week after week while being the most affordable public course in Longmont.

This course is unpretentious and really awesome. Haystack replacement for sure, with better views and more varied play.
Beautiful, tight course. Lots of hacks
Course is tight. Pace is usually slow. Lots of hacks who often don’t yell fore when they shank. It is very pretty with nice old growth trees

Fun Course, but no Par 5's
I have played here several times. Today's round was very slow. Waited 15 minutes to tee off on hole 3, as it was backed up. Ruins the flow for sure. Still a fun unique course. Staff is great!

Always A Pleasure
Great course. Excellent value. Attentive cart girl with reasonable prices. For a local muni the course is mint. There is a chance you get paired with some casuals who may slow things down a little too much, but that’s what happens when you get paired with randoms. Been here a few times, and regardless of how I play, I always have a good time.

Fun, but short.
Fun course with great old tree lined fairways. Course is in good shape albeit, a bit short at 5875 yds. No par 5’s

First timer
Thus was my fist time playing this course I have to say that Thus course is the most laid back course that I've ever played on. It's definitely a challenging course I will definitely go playing this course again. Staff was also friendly and the pro gave some very useful tips and tricks and what to expect on the course.
