Arizona Golf Course List – Arizona Golf Authority Golf Course Guide
Built in 1975, this semi-private executive course was designed by Milton Coggins, Greg Nash and Jeff Hardin and is located in the active adult community of Sunland Village in Mesa. Sunland Village is a relatively simple, short layout that has lightly bunkered greens and water hazards that are largely aesthetic. One of the main benefits of that is that golf rounds can be played here in about three hours and the pricing fits most budgets.
Highlights of the front nine, which has no bunkers around the greens, are the fifth hole, a 242-yard par 4 where a lake comes into play, and the sixth, a 111-yard par 3 where the same water hazard provides a challenge.
Two of the strongest holes are the last two with the 17th being a 175-yard par 3 and the par-4 18th being the longest hole on the course at 348 yards. A pair of ponds and a few more bunkers come into play on the back nine.
Sunland Village has two sets of tees at 3,623 and 3,222 yards and plays to par 62 with a rating of 56.5 and slope of 80. The course has a driving range and three putting/chipping greens, and golfers can relax after the round at Michael’s Greenside Grill, which serves up breakfast and lunch.
