Sunset Hill Golf Club is a public golf course located at 13 Sunset Hill Road in Brookfield, Connecticut. The course was designed in 1936 by Gene Sarazen as a practice course for himself, to use while staying at his residence in Brookfield.[1] Sarazen began opening the course to the public in the late 1930s.[2]
The course has three ponds and several additional hazards including a sand trap and multiple bunkers.[3] Walking is allowed on the course, and carts are made available as well.[4] The course has a small café serving food and alcoholic beverages, as well as a pro shop.[5] The course pro is Bob Dugan.
