Pros:
A petite 6-hole course with a mix of beauty and odd design.
-Amenities: Round tee pads, signs with distance, par, and arrows in the basket direction, Mach IIIs.
-Maintenance: Short, watered grass. In this area, that sticks out and really makes it a nice environment (at least for someone raised in the southeast).
-Beginner Friendly: Holes top out well under 200', so this one is for new players. There also isn't painful foliage for total shanks.
-Shot Shaping/Gameplay: Shaping is required on four of the six holes, which is a lot better than at some beginner courses I've played. The shots are all parkable by a beginner, but could still teach finesse. Gentle elevation, lone fairway trees, and a couple of tree lines are the main factors. For the length it has, this is a high-quality course.
Cons:
Some substantial drawbacks on a few holes, which, while not severe, take on new significance when you consider that inaccurate beginners are the predominant audience.
-Road: A couple of holes play alongside a road. This isn't a big deal for players with control, but some griplocked shots could easily end up near a passing car.
-Path: The final four holes all play over or parallel to a small walking trail. Newer players with less of an eye for safety issues could definitely clunk a pedestrian.
-Bush: Hole 4 is blocked by two bushes that create a very awkward gap. This will not promote good form in the least.
-Length: Zero doubt that I would throw a putter on every hole.
Other Thoughts:
Sunset was a very pleasant environment with a cute beginner course. That said, it's ultra-short both in number and length of holes, and there are a few unfortunate hazards. It's always hard to rate a course like this that's mostly well-executed but tiny - after comparing it to other courses I've reviewed, it fit well into the Passable category. Definitely a nice nook for short-throwing players.
