Sunset Hills Golf Course in St. Louis, MO is right across the street from one of the top public courses in the state, Tapawingo. However, the courses could not be any more different, starting with the typography. Tapawingo is hilly and Sunset Hills is as flat as my girl friend from middle school (as I recall). BUT . . . Tapawingo’s greens fees are over twice as expensive as Sunset Hills’. So, each course has its place and compete for a very different golfer. Sunset Hills’ grasses (tees, fairways and greens) are not in pristine condition, but for what it costs they shouldn’t be. SHGC is a well laid out public course that is easy to play. I have never had the opportunity to play the course and I am very happy I did. I look forward to playing it again, hopefully during the fall since there is an abundance of trees bordering two sides of the course.
