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.

Good course for the money

I liked the course. Good challenge, but not overly hard.

I thought it was a good value for the money.

Fun Course, Nice Greens, Poor Fairways

We took a chance on this course based on the great rates available on Golf Now.

Pros:

- Greens we’re in great shape and ran true.

- Excellent pace of play. Teed off at 7:30 On a Sunday and felt like we were the only group there until somewhere around hole 16. Nobody was ahead of us and the nearest group was a couple holes back until late in the round.

- Good value

- Bunkers in good shape but some are a bit dry

Cons:

- No winter overseeding so fairways are essentially dormant summer turf. Painted to give the impression of being green.

- Cart fee is $12 per person. Wish the cart fee was included in the price on Golf Now. The Sun City Recreation Courses should get back to pre-COVID pricing and include carts in the Golf Now rates.

- Ball runs for a while on these fairways with no stopping until the run out of steam. Good for long drives but bad if you are playing for targets to set up a second shot.

OK but nothing special

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

Greens were very good

Course Very Dried out

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
