Sun Lakes Country Club Reviews
- Shirley D.|April 14, 2019I moved here 15 years ago as a widow. I felt surrounded by people who care. I felt very safe. The homes are beautiful and kept up nicely. Loads of recreation. Restaurant and Sandwedge for great food. Free entertainment in the lounge every Friday & Saturday eve with full Bar. Different venues each week. You won’t get bored. Close to Palm Springs but 30 degrees cooler. We get snow once a year but it melts right away. You can look at the beautiful mountains or take a trip to enjoy. Beach is within close driving distance.
Join others who have discovered this gem... - Tom H.|April 14, 2019We moved to Sun Lakes two years ago and were welcomed by many fellow Sun Lakers . We love the many ammenities and clubs they say there are over a hundred twenty clubs to choose from. The residents in the clubs are always entertaining or putting on charity groups to support our local community. Its the people that make Sun Lakes so great , i couldn’t think of living anywhere else. We have three club houses all with pools and state of the art exercise equipment . A on site restaurant that has something for everybody and a great chef and staff . There is a veranda at the main club house that is used during nice weather for concerts and movies on the golf course just bring your own popcorn and park your golf cart for the show . Two golf courses a championship and an executive course well groomed . Gated community also close to shopping and medical care
- Nancy T.|April 6, 2019We’ve lived here in SLCC over the past 14 years. Both as renters and homeowners. Love the views, the clubs, especially the chorale, the entertainment, the classes, and most of all, the many great neighbors!
- Dolph M.|April 5, 2019Have lived here for over 15 years and are still thrilled with our decision. Well built home, reasonable home prices, numerous amenities and activities, championship golf course and par 60 course are both in great condition and reasonably challenging. Rules are fair and designed to maintain quality of lifestyle. Absolutely love it here.
- Barb S.|April 5, 2019We downsized and moved here three years ago and it is probably one of the best decisions we've ever made! We looked at a number of otter 55+ communities in the vicinity and found this one to be the only one for us. SL has beautiful well- maintained grounds and golf courses as well as a gorgeous main clubhouse with a very good restaurant, coffee bar and sandwich shop. Sun Lakes has two other smaller clubhouses too!! There are a number of pools in the community, one of which is indoor.
I also really appreciate our security and have found them to be helpful and considerate. We have lived in a number of communities with an HOA and we think our HOA here in Sun Lakes is worth every penny!! - Randall C.|April 4, 2019I don’t know who wrote the description of this place, but having toured it, there are NO walking or biking trails anywhere in the community. The nearest Target store is 30 miles away in Hemet. The grounds are well-maintained, but there seems to be an undue pressure to conform to the community’s “beige” standard. There appears to be no margin for any expression of individuality. In talking with some of the residents, the HOA Board appears to be very stodgy and unwilling to adapt to changing lifestyles.
- Larry J.|April 4, 2019Sun Lakes Country Club is, without a doubt, the best kept secret in the 55+ community space. Having been a member of a private equity Country Club before moving here, I had some apprehension about moving to a Country Club "community". However, Sun Lakes Country Club has exceeded my expectations. Top quality Championship and Executive Golf Courses, a full pro shop with golf professionals on staff, three Clubhouses, tennis, pickleball, bocce, restaurant, lounge, weekly live entertainment, and more social activities than anyone can possibly be involved with make Sun Lakes Country Club the perfect retirement, or near retirement, community.
- PAT P.|April 3, 2019This is a five star community meeting all my needs for activities and social
environments. I have met and retained many wonderful friends here at
Sun Lakes. This community is welcoming. I love the golf, the various clubs
and the entertainment . I really enjoy the fact that there is an on site restaurant
with a great menu. If you are thinking about moving to Sun Lakes, do it, you
will not regret your decision. - Janie H.|April 2, 2019My husband and I have lived at Sun Lakes for almost three years. It is beautifully maintained, with two gorgeous golf courses, and lovely trees and flowers planted seasonally. The amenities are amazing, with a great restaurant, lounge, ballroom, weight rooms, tennis courts, and Bocce, just to name a few. I could go on and on, as we love it here so much. I will say, the best attraction, for us, is the incredible people we have meet... so diverse, talented and caring. We think Sun Lakes is the best.
- Kathie T.|April 2, 2019Moved in a year ago and retired shortly there after. Best decision I’ve ever made. Stunning golf courses (2)...breathtaking views of two mountain ranges. More activities than I can participate in...fabulous restaurant, lounge sandwich shop and coffee bar. Entertainment every weekend... elegant and affordable! Best of all .....amazing people! Can’t imagine starting the next chapter of my life anywhere but Sun Lakes Country Club.
- Sheila J.|April 2, 2019I have lived here for the past 5 years. It was the best decision we ever made. We love everything about Sun Lakes. We say it's like living on a Cruise Ship that never leaves port.
- Kenneth K.|December 23, 2018Lived in this community for 5 years, great neighbors and wonderful country club community, terrible HOA Master Board as well as horrible management company.
- Barbara J.|April 14, 2018Living here since 1994 and cannot find anyplace better! SL also has a fabulous lounge where live music is played during the weekends and happy hour. It is one of the best features. You never have to leave home and it is truly like living in a resort! Prices are still very reasonable even in this market, great selection of homes, and the HOA is well managed. You cannot beat the "pass" weather, and Banning's location is within 30 minutes of other major cities like Palm Springs, Redlands, Moreno Valley, and mountain communities.
- C.R.C. (Resident/Homeowner)|September 30, 2016Wonderful community! We've owned here for 10 years and absolutely love it. The homes and various neighborhoods are gorgeous and immaculately kept, and the facilities are incredible. There are countless activities and clubs to choose from so there is never an excuse to be bored, and they keep adding to them and improving them all the time. 5-star restaurants, nightlife, countless clubs, planned vacations and excursions, tennis courts, 2 golf courses. swimming pools, the list is endless. Home prices and HOA fees are extremely reasonable for Sounthern California. We call this California's best kept secret.
- J.S. (Resident/Homeowner)|August 4, 2015I love the different styles of houses. They're all kept up beautifully. Even if they're the same structure they look completely different because of the yard decorations. There are so many different activities that I don't know where to start. It is so beautiful here I enjoy just driving around and looking at the different houses and the view from the top of the hill.
- Susan L.(Resident/Homeowner)|May 21, 2013I had been visiting my girlfriend here for a couple years and she finally convinced me to make the move. After looking at communities all over the area I finally came to realize she was right all along! My condo here is perfect for me, the prices aren't bad and with everything that's included you really get a lot for what you pay for. I would highly recommend this community to anyone.
