The Sun City South Golf Course is normally a private club but during the summer months, public play is allowed. The course has a traditional layout with four sets of teeboxes for a variety of different golfing options, which allow golfers to work on a range of different handicaps. The golf course has a fair share of challenges with several sand bunkers and plenty of trees scattered throughout. There are also out-of-bounds stakes providing more difficulty. Water hazards come into play on some holes as well. The Sun City South Golf Course facility has a putting green and chipping area for golfers to use in addition to the course.

First Impressions Important

Would it hurt to smile and say hello? Our first time at this course and the grumpy guy at the desk made for a poor first impression.
The course was ok and a bit boring. Little in the way of challenges.
Probably not be back

Nice Pedestrian Course

Fairways in good shape, greens recently plugged with extra small holes that were of little consequence. We finished in 3:55 which is good and even above average. Front nine greens were considerably easier than the back nine greens. +2/3 strokes is my best guess. Outside the fairways was either rock hard dirt under thinly dormant grass or mud underneath. My partners whined about it, but didn’t bother me. Greens were slower than the practice green which is an issue, but not uncommon. 5-some put out frequently and slowed us down a little. All in all a good outing

Great condition, solid length. Greens are tricky with firmness and break. Tight fairways, but forgiving width on holes makes it playable for all.

I didn't play

The Clubhouse left their friends a group of 5 go to the tee and that started the back up. There was as many as
3 groups are waiting to tee off on the first tee. And I played there for years. I played their year round and they refused to give me a golf cart. They came up with some kind of rule that they can only let 3 golf carts out at a time. So I couldn't have a golf cart first time. I ran into that and they were very unfriendly and just sort of laughing about it.

We got in on a twilight 12:52 pm deal that made this a superior for the money

We enjoyed this course. The fairways and greens were in excellent shape. Not an exciting course for the front nine. Fairly standard with good bunkers and slightly tiered greens. The back nine was much more challenging because the green had false fronts and were domed. It also had 3 of the hardest par 3’s we had encountered in the last year. Two were 100% over water and the third was over 200 yards from the whites. Not complaining about the par 3’s. They just added to the course interest. I would play this course again. It was an amazing value. Staff was great.

Fabulous course conditions!

Over-seeded fairways, green surrounds and greens were in excellent condition. In my experience as good as Augusta National! Course layout is quite good for the age of the course, including well placed bunkering. Some greens are challenging, but overall are very manageable even if you don’t play the course often. It is a great course for the money!

Old town visitor

Greens and fairways in excellent shape, rough is dried out dormant grass with lots of bare spots. Course is wide and not too penalizing for errant shots. Staff always friendly and helpful. Good course to Walk, fairly flat. An excellent value. Will return.

Great course…muppet behind us kept hitting into our group

Great course layout and conditions. Overseed was lush, but could have used a cut.Pace of play was VERY slow. Staff were business-like, but seemed to be understaffed as could not come out to address a player that kept hitting the “best shots of his life”. First one was straight through our foursome as we were putting and finished 50 yards later. When addressed on the next tee he said he was 230 out and had never hit his 3 wood more than 225 in his life. He then proceeds to hit into us in next fairway before we had all hit our second shots to the green. When addressed more firmly at the next tee he and one of his playing partners were offended that we were so upset. Two holes later the group hit into us again…pro shop said they would send one of the girls out, but do not think this actually occurred. Disappointing that muppets like this have no respect for safety, let alone basic golf etiquette.

Sun City South

Solid for the price. Wait until the price is right for a Walker and it’s a nice round for the $$. Especially when so many of the courses in PHX think so highly of themselves during the holiday seasons.
