Favorite place to play in the area

Golf now for the win as always! Excellent course, kids are always allowed to join (huge win for this dad)! Paired randomly with Dave, a local young snow bird. He was great to play the round with and very kind to my 10 yo. I'll be back.

Best courses and players pass deal in the area!!!

Sun N Lake offers two of the best courses in the area by far. Deer Run seems to be the harder of the two. Greens are fast and not an even green to be found. Turtle is my favorite of the two. Seems more remote with fewer houses dotting the course. The players pass beats anything any other course offers. Plus you get two courses to choose from. Always on excellent condition. The staff plus the clubhouse and pro shop are top notch. Aaron and Sherry are two of the nicest people you can meet. I’m a players pass holder and I encourage you to become one to. You won’t be disappointed!!!! I am not an employee but an extremely satisfied customer who always looks forward to returning

Greens are too long. Terrible!!

The greens are simply unacceptable as they are way too long. It’s not even golf when the putting cannot be factored in. You must fix your greens to be considered a golf course.

New greens

Renovation of all the greens looks great. Greens are still hard so expect the ball to run some on approach shots, Greens still a little sandy as the greens mature but overall a great track and great value

Great Golf

Discovered Sun N Lake a few years ago. Have played here a dozen times, more on Deer Run than Turtle Run but both excellent courses. People I've met when playing weekend shotguns were all friendly. Was looking forward to playing Deer Run again after it was closed. Not sure what was done, but I did not see any difference in the course. Greens were ok, and fast, but not perfect as I remember them. Great round, highly recommend both courses and will definitely be back soon.

Deer Run 1st Time

Straight forward layout and the last 3 holes have a lot of character. Wide fairways and they are in mostly good shape. The greens are the strength of the course. Undulating and multi levels. They were in good shape. Not perfect but very good.
