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.

OK but nothing special

Course is poorly maintained. Weeds everywhere. Aesthetically, unpleasant. Won’t go back.

Sun City South

No overseeding of fairways or rough. Not in the best shape tee to green but playable and awesome walking/riding rates. Long enough to be fun, greens are decent, rates outstanding.

South Course

Open layout offers recovery for many off line shots. Varied green elevations challenge approach shots. Sand was moist, but did not impact shots. Greens ran true, some marks from prior players which is not a course issue but a player issue.

Deceptive

At a glance the course looks nice. The driving range has a nice look to it and the grass is good. When you get to the fairway, it’s a different story. The ground is hard and painted to look better than it is. I guess since you’re only paying about $65 per round, what would you expect…

Not bad for the price

Course is not too bad especially for the price charged during the more expensive winter season. Greens need a lot of work and if you are off the fairway by so much as a foot, you are on brown dead weed type ground cover. Staff that works here is AMAZING and always say thank you and are very accommodating. Would be nice to see the course in better shape

High cost poor conditions

Should’ve reviewed receipt after taxes online should’ve been about $46 added a glove somehow total came out to $70+. Waited to tee off on pretty much every tee with a group or two behind us. We kept pace of play but felt rushed. Course conditions were poor, even in winder fairway was dead and other courses have had better grass, this one was legit spray painted green, so consistently hitting out of dead grass. Putting greens were solid but pin placement was bad, everything was sloped so you miss a putt ball is rolling way further then it should. For the cost and how busy surprised how underwhelming course was. Not likely to return

Beware of thieves

I had my range finder stolen while at the range/putting green before my round. Even if someone picked it up thinking it was lost they should have turned it in to the Pro Shop. Nope.
The course is in decent shape. Fairways are a bit dry and thin. The greens are hard and the pin placements were difficult. The pins were on slopes or rises so that the ball would break harshly when it slowed down. The pace was fairly good. We finished around 4 hours.
It's a good thing golf isn't a game about integrity or anything. Sad that you can't trust anyone.

Disappointing course condition

Considering they only overseeded tee boxes and greens I would've expected better conditions. Tee boxes were terrible. Greens were in good shape but very unfriendly pins.

Greens slow and minimal grass on the fairways. Fairways were dyed green but the grass is sketchy. Surprisingly nice sand in the bunkers though

Nice Greens but….

Staff always friendly. Fairways - many looked sprayed with fungicide and had very little grass. Other than collars everything else burnt out. Greens were in very good shape and good pace. Tough to play when there is very little grass on the fairways. Sent us off the back and pace was excellent, last nine in an hour and a half with total of 3 1/2.

Painted fairways, super firm, fast and pure greens despite

Fun track for the price, tough to see fairways that firm and dead when everywhere else overseeded. Greens are tough but fun and the layout is the toughest sun city Track I’ve played yet.
