02What golfers say

The word on the course.

How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.

The longer, more demanding Mark McCumber design at Sun City, weaving through hardwoods and cypress wetlands with thoughtful bunkering and greenside collection areas. Golfers consider it the most serious test of the Sun City courses.

Best forShot-makingScenery

Consistently praised

Golfers praise the strategic bunkering that makes you think about landing spots, plus water features like the par 3 with a waterfall and creek.
The wooded, cypress-and-marsh setting with bridges is called attractive and distinctive.

Worth knowing

Notably longer and harder than sister course Okatie Creek and tough on players who are not long off the tee, so shorter hitters should move up.

Golfers recommend

Use the six tee sets to right-size the challenge; most players have plenty from the middle.
The natural choice when you want the most demanding round inside Sun City.
