Sunset Country Club boasts one of the more storied and best maintained private championship golf courses in the St. Louis area. The par 72 layout affords 6,640-yards of breathtaking vistas tree lined hills and slopes, challenging but true greens and devilish greenside bunkers.

Renowned Scottish-born designer Robert Foulis developed the course originally in the early 1900s. In 1989, Dr. Michael Hurdzan, the 1998 Golf Digest Architect of the Year, was retained to rejuvenate and update the layout; Hurdzan and his organization continue to work closely with the club and noted superintendent Tom VanDeWalle to ensure the ongoing excellence of the facility.

Sunset has hosted some of the world's most legendary players and many important events. Gene Sarazen, Sam Snead, Dow Finsterwald and Tom Kite have all graced Sunset at one time or another. In 1946, the club was the site of the Western Open Golf Championship; the immortal Ben Hogan won the title.

The Western Open was considered then the fifth major. In 2001 the club hosted the prestigious Missouri State Amateur Championship and in 2003 a U.S. Senior Open qualifying event was held at Sunset.

Sunset maintains a full service pro shop staffed by PGA professionals, as well as excellent practice facilities - driving range and chipping and putting greens. Tee times are never required at Sunset.
