The Sunset Nine - Est. 1956

The second nine built at Saugeen was Sunset, constructed in 1956 on the west side of the club's property. The Sunset is the longest of our three nines at 3,323 yards and is the more open nine, although it still has some demanding holes that make for an exciting test of your skills.

Watch out for the straightaway par 5, Sunset 2, playing 516 yards from the back and 445 from the front. "A small creek crosses the fairway here but doesn't come into play," says Myatt. "You can't reach it with your tee shot and most players can easily carry it on the second shot. The real trouble is willow that stands about 40 yards short of the green. You have to go through the opening between them or you have to carry them."

The 4th hole is a par-4 playing at about 433 yards from the back and 348 from the front. "You're hitting your tee shot into the prevailing wind," says Myatt. "There are fairway bunkers on both sides at about 200 yards. You'll also find a pond short and right of the green, about 15 to 20 yards off to the right that could come into play. You'll also want to watch out for the mound behind the green."

The 1st hole of Sunset boasts one of the most difficult greens on the Sunset nine. This green is much larger than it looks, so make sure to add a club if the pin is located at the back. This is the largest green on the nine, and contains the most significant down hill slope that can easily bring your ball to rest off of the front of the green for those putting down the slippery slope.
