Sunset Hills Country

A play with a long iron between the cross fairway bunkers leaves a short iron to a firm and well-bunkered target from a hanging lie. Or you can challenge the hole by driving 260 yards over the second cross-bunker. If you can avoid the hazard on the right, it will leave a short pitch and good chance at birdie.

Another of Sunset Hills' challenging par fives. A relatively wide fairway invites the player to use the driver off the tee. Only the very longest drive will go for the green in two. To avoid a blind water hazard left and out-of-bounds right, the prudent play is a long iron to set up a short iron third shot. Once on the putting surface, the player will have to contend with a severe ridge that divides the green in half and provides some very difficult pin locations on the front section.

Many consider this long par three to be one of the most difficult par three's in the area. A long iron is required to a narrow green with water guarding the front and right. Players bailing out left will contend with out-of-bounds and a green that slopes severely left to right.

This is a true three-shot hole across two steep valleys. 3 wood is not a bad choice off the tee to ensure a level lie for your second shot. The third shot plays uphill to a large green with a spine running from front right to back left.

Off the tee, avoid the out-of-bounds left and bunkers and hazard right. This hole plays downhill, and a good drive can carry over a ridge at 150 yards and leave a short iron played to an elevated, well-bunkered green.

This downhill par three is deceptively difficult. The green is large but very subtle, and a ridge dissects it into thirds. Look for the pin placements on this hole to bring the deep bunkers left of the green into play

A long iron off the tee is the smart play. Trees and a bunker narrow the fairway in half. The uphill second shot will be played with a short iron. Beware of the false front on this sloping green.

The 17th sets up a difficult finish to Sunset Hills. There is out-of-bounds and a bunker left. The fairway narrows to 18 yards in driving area so accuracy is key. A good tee shot with a driver or 3 wood will set up a short to middle iron to a well-bunkered green.

This final hole plays slightly uphill and requires a drive favoring the right side of the fairway to avoid trees and long rough left. Your second shot with a long or middle iron will play slightly uphill. The green, one of the original greens from 1922, is difficult sloping from back right to front left.
