SUNDANCE GOLF CLUB (623-328-0400)
Arizona Golf Course Review
Sundance Golf Club in Buckeye (west of Phoenix just off I-10) is an 18-hole championship facility that is a fair test of golf for all levels of players. With tee boxes that range from
5300 to 7000 yards, generous fairways that play over and around Sonoran Desert washes and arroyos, plus well conditioned, sloping green complexes, Sundance presents a
challenging yet enjoyable golf experience. Outstanding views of the Tank and SuperstitionMountains add to the allure.
There are 50 sand bunkers situated along the landing zones on the fairways or positioned greenside, and landscaped desert areas plus desert washes also come into play.
Carries over ponds on the 6th and 7th holes provide the only water holes on the layout. Like many Arizona courses, the Bermuda rough is not over-seeded, and goes dormant
over the winter months creating a two-toned color effect.
Four sets of tee boxes afford players with opportunities to play from distances and slopes measuring 6944 yards/125 slope, 6371 yards/120 slope, 5824 yards/110 slope for men
and 124 for women, and 5272 yards with a slope rating of 117 for ladies hitting from the front tees. On course yardage markers are posted on the fairways at 100, 150 and 200
yards, and sprinkler heads are also measured to the center of the green. 150 yard stakes double as directional devices on all par fours and fives, and color coded flags indicate
front, middle or back pin placements.
The clubhouse houses a pro shop, plus restaurant/lounge with outdoor patio that affords wonderful views of the golf course. Practice facilities include a targeted grass range and
large putting green. Golfers will encounter sculpted tees and landscaped desert areas that border the ample playing surfaces, which are designed on a mildly rolling terrain that
features spectacular mountain vistas. The green complexes are undulating and well bunkered, but have significant recovery room. This is an interesting yet playable layout that
can be enjoyed by all levels of players.
