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-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.

Fun
Always fun. Staff is great. We always walk. We like the up and down. The course is always in great shape. It is fun to play and challenging. Great 9 hole course.
Course plays like an old friend
I play Sunset a lot--I've never been disappointed. The course is consistently in excellent shape. This year early, they had to work on the greens and the staff really took care of it. Now, having played recently, everything is tip-top. I understand that this year they are having lots of players playing and that has created some slow play, but generally I can play 9 holes in 1:45 - 50 minutes (and I walk). For me, I'm about a 18 handicap, the course offers enough challenge. I've had some good rounds, but then there have been some sneaky poor rounds. I can't complain. I enjoy Sunset like I enjoy an old friend.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Sunset Golf Course.
Great Executive 9
I enjoy this course. Staff and players are friendly. The pace of play today and last time we played was excruciatingly slow.

My “go to” course!
I have been playing Sunset for years - all year round. I love this course because it has interesting holes and mature trees. Just the right amount of challenge for me.

Great afternoon
I played with a father and son really great people. The staff is very friendly
Everything is good except other players
The only issues that I had were caused by other players. The group in front of us refused to let us play through when they had 4, we had 2, and they were taking way too long on each hole. The group behind us almost hit us two times because they wouldn’t wait for us to hit our second shots before they teed off. The course and the staff were great and I would recommend this course to anyone who wants a decent 9 holes that doesn’t cost a lot of money.

Best course in CO for the money

Great day for golf. Course in great shape and beautiful. Mid day tee time and course wide open. Short but challenging, still gotta hit your shot.

Fun little course, easy to play
This was my first time at Sunset, however, I'll be back because of the good conditions and course layout. For a beginner or someone looking for a laid back course layout, this is a pretty ideal course. The greens roll great. Pace of play was on point.

Best shale ever
Small but not as small as it looks. Driver on 6 of the 9 holes. One long par 3. Overall exactly half of an 18-hole course. Great fairways. Easy rough. Greens were excellent. The best I’ve seen it in two years. Worth the drive and priced right.
