Sunbird Golf Community
The SunBird Golf Resort Community is a Robson Community, a builder with a “best of both worlds� approach to living: small-town atmosphere with nearby conveniences. Residents of this gated, master-planned community of 1,630 homes on 320 acres must be 55 or older. Resale homes are available ranging in size from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet and in price from the low $100,000s to the mid $300,000s.
The par-66 semi-private executive course offers 18 holes of country club golf that can be played from 3,601 to 4,350 yards. Designed by renowned golf architect Gary Panks, the course is well maintained and receives improvements on an ongoing basis. The optional membership guarantees unlimited play, five-day tee times, and a pro shop discount.
Residents enjoy a 43,000-square-foot clubhouse and recreation center with an aerobic workout room, locker rooms, sauna, Jacuzzi, two swimming pools, tennis courts, shuffleboard courts, billiards tables, and horseshoe pits. Use the Lakeview Room for banquets and meetings, or stretch out on a lounge for your favorite show on the big-screen TV. Join a mahjong, bridge, or cribbage club; take language or dance lessons; or relax with a little bingo or bowling. Hobbyists find plenty of recreation in the ceramics room with kilns and tools; lapidary room with electric saws, grinders, and buffers; and a variety of art classes. A 12,000-square-foot ballroom with hardwood floors accommodates any type of dancing, and the library’s collection of thousands of books and magazines is perfect for quieter moments. There’s even a U.S. Post Office for ultimate convenience.
Community gatherings include choir practice and bible study, sports and garden clubs, and fifteen to twenty annual dances. The clubhouse restaurant holds Sunday Brunch, a once-a-week fish fry, Friday happy hour, Monday Night Football, and special evening dinners.
