Since the new management took over, the course is night and day and getting better every week. Myself and a couple friends try to play golf on our mutual day off every week. We've try to play a different course every week, but lately we've been playing Sunset more often than any other. It's reasonably priced and pretty convenient to get to. It's not perfect, but it keeps getting better. If you haven't played since the new management took over you definitely need to try it out.
Well the greens were decent... with some weeds or crabgrass in them, but haven't played here in two years and... prob won't ne back. $82 for 2 to play the worst fairways I have ever seen on a course. I asked an employee about them and he said "we water the greens manually but dont water the fairways"... I drive by this course every day. But just not gonna pay these full price grren fees prices for a mediocre maintained course. So many other choices in area that are better. The tee boxes are so hard and in need of aerating, you could barely get a tee in them. Most tee boxes the markers were all sitting off to the side where whoever cut them didnt put back. Greens were good, but had not been cut for day at our 10am tee time. Some of the fairways were just mostly dirt. Some hasn't been cut in a week with grass deep enough not to find a ball. Some the grass clippings were puled up on. Won't be back. But this isnt just voting eith my wallet.... I mean if you are going to take a day off work to play golf, you don't want to leave frustrated on how bad the course is. But like I said, I wasted $82 for two of us. It's pretty clear here that management doesn't put any effort or value in the course or the costumer. EDIT: Played 2nd week August 2025. These pictures were taken at that time.
Played Sunset Landing for the first time in several years July 2026. Since Komara Golf Management has taken over the course, it is a night and day improvement. They are really making great progress with all areas of turf management. Course was busy that day, but had a fantastic pace of play as the course Marshalls were doing a fantastic job. Cannot wait to see the course continue to improve.
Dont be put off by the satellite image on Google Maps. That is from several years ago after a freak freeze event killed most of the fairway grass. It looks NOTHING like that now. First hole has reopened. Course is in pretty good shape and I know it will continue to improve under the new management. Greens are is good shape (always been the best feature), fairways 90% filled in and the rough is getting a bit fluffy. Traps are in decent shape. cart-paths a little rough, but they cant fix everything at once. New carts with GPS which they’ve never had before. Very good value at this time. Clubhouse, snack bar and actual bar much better than before.
Great time playing 18 holes at Sunset Landing, very nice staff and friendly clientele. For the price, the experience was very pleasant. It does seem like their groundskeepers are working hard to restore each fairway to 100%, while all 18 greens are pristine. I would say that as of June 2025, the fairways are collectively at 85% grass coverage and completely playable. I’m sure by next summer it will be 100%. Can’t complain at all for paying 26 bucks to hit some range balls for 10 minutes and play a full round of good golf!
