Sun Lakes Country Club

Sun Lakes Country Club sits in the San Gorgonio Pass area of Riverside County, and this 55+ active adult community has 3,327 homes, condos, and patio homes spread out over about 1,000 gently rolling acres that are fully gated, where people like the sense of quiet and well-kept grounds, and a big part of life here is the two private, well-maintained golf courses designed by David Rainville, with the championship course stretching 7,017 yards, par 72, with Bermuda grass fairways and greens, a slope rating of 132 and a course rating of 74.3, and a shorter executive course is 3,000 yards, par 60, with both courses open year-round just for residents and their guests, so folks can use the driving range, putting green, chipping area and rent carts if they like, though there's no rental clubs, and the courses have clear rules like no metal spikes allowed, but you can use VISA and MasterCard for most payments. There are three clubhouses-Main, North, and South-where people gather for meals in indoor and outdoor settings, play billiards, or do arts and crafts, and stop by the library, fitness center, or card room, and you can find patio seating, a lounge and bar, and a restaurant that serves everything from steak sandwiches and filet mignon to fish-and-chips, burgers, salads, omelets, and desserts. For people who enjoy sports and social activities, you can spend time at the heated outdoor pool, use the tennis or pickleball courts, or check out the fitness centers and recreational programs. Events bring people together-there are fashion shows, charitable events, putting contests, and golf tournaments that happen throughout the year, and the grounds stay pretty neat. Everything's tucked behind gates, with wheelchair access, parking, air conditioning in public areas, clean restrooms, and a recreation staff who organize clubs and group gatherings. There's a golf pro shop with clubs and accessories for sale by the North Clubhouse. Homes sometimes come up for sale, and there are governing documents and brochures available for folks who want more details. The community has both a welcoming feeling and enough amenities that residents can stay as busy-or as quiet-as they want, and the place offers a steady mix of activity, privacy, and easy access to everything needed for daily life.
