Sunset Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play Sunset Golf Course for ideal conditions and views?

We highly recommend late September to early October. The fall colours here are simply spectacular, painting the course in fiery reds and golds, and the air is crisp without being too cold. You'll want to book well in advance for these prime weeks.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Sunset Golf Course, especially for a first-timer?

Without a doubt, it's navigating the dramatic elevation changes on the back nine. Holes 12 through 15 demand precise club selection and often blind shots, so trust your yardage book and consider walking a few holes to get a feel for the slopes. Don't let the views distract you too much from your short game.

After a round, what's the must-do experience at Sunset Golf Course's clubhouse?

You absolutely have to grab a drink on the patio overlooking the 18th green as the sun dips below the horizon. The "Sunsetter" cocktail is their signature, and the views across the valley are truly unforgettable, making for a perfect end to your day. It's a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for recounting your best shots.

Is Sunset Golf Course a good value for the green fees, and what should I expect for costs?

We find Sunset offers excellent value, especially considering the course quality and those incredible vistas. Expect green fees to be in the mid-range for a Canadian championship course, typically CAD $120-180 depending on the season and time of day. Carts are usually an extra $25-35, but we suggest walking if you're up for the challenge.

What's the best way to get to Sunset Golf Course, and are there any local tips for visitors?

Sunset is about a 45-minute drive from the nearest major city, so a rental car is essential. Our top tip is to arrive at least an hour before your tee time to hit some balls on their excellent practice range and soak in the initial views - it really helps you settle in before your round.
