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.

Best play for the money
I enjoyed the distance of the par four and fives. This allowed me to really exercise my play and not commit to a short par 3 course just playing nine holes. Greens were nice and the fairways forgiving. I also loved the history that I learned about the place while playing with an older gentleman.
Muni golf
This old (by Colorado standards) is a fairly typical municipal course - pleasant layout, heavily used, and oh so walkable. Got in a quick round and enjoyed the company I played with and the ease of play.

Can't beat this place for the money!
Had a great time playing here! For the money, the course exceeded my expectations! The greens are pretty small, but roll true, albeit a bit slow.

great course for $ and moderate skill level
First - it is a beautiful course with amazing mountain views (on most days). for experienced golfers it plays short. for walkers - be warned it is very hilly, every hole is either uphill or down hill except the long par 4 4th hole and the par 3 5th hole. the course is well-maintained and the staff is exceptionally friendly. Not a lot of fancy here, just good fun. I am not from Longmont but in town once or twice or year and try to play the course when I can.

Favorite place to play!
Wow! Nothing but amazing things to say about Sunset. The staff is always so nice, playing partners are always a hoot and this has grown to be our favorite 9 hole practice course. The configuration offers its own challenges but you can always get yourself out of a sticky situation. But 12 bucks to walk 9 holes? Twist my arm!
