Sunset Hills Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the absolute best time of day to experience those famous "Sunset Hills" views?

You absolutely must book a late afternoon tee time, especially during the shoulder seasons of spring or fall. The way the sun dips behind the western hills on holes 12-15 is truly spectacular, casting long shadows and painting the sky in incredible colors. It's worth the slightly cooler temperatures for that unforgettable backdrop.

I've heard Sunset Hills has some tricky greens; what should I really watch out for?

You're right, the greens at Sunset Hills are deceptively challenging, often featuring subtle breaks that aren't immediately obvious. Pay close attention to the local knowledge on the par-3 7th and the long par-4 16th; putts here frequently break towards the valley, even when they look uphill. Don't be afraid to take an extra minute to read them carefully.

Is Sunset Hills a good value for the money, or should I expect a premium price tag?

We consider Sunset Hills an excellent value, especially for the quality of maintenance and those stunning vistas. You'll typically find green fees in the $60-$90 range, which is fantastic for a course of this caliber in the region. Book online in advance for the best rates, as walk-up prices can be a bit higher.

How busy does Sunset Hills get, and what's the typical pace of play like?

Sunset Hills can get quite busy, particularly on weekend mornings and during peak season. We recommend aiming for a weekday afternoon tee time if you prefer a quicker round, as the course tends to clear out nicely after 2 PM. Expect a comfortable 4.5-hour round on average, but be prepared for closer to 5 hours on a packed Saturday.

Beyond the golf, what's the clubhouse experience like at Sunset Hills - any must-try food or drinks?

The clubhouse at Sunset Hills is charming and unpretentious, with a fantastic patio overlooking the 18th green. You absolutely have to try their famous "Sunset Burger" - it's a local legend - and pair it with a cold local craft beer on tap. It's the perfect spot to unwind and relive your best shots after your round.
