Sun City's residents enjoy a strong sense of
community. The Village Center is where people meet to partake
in any number of chartered clubs, including aviation, bridge, RVing,
tennis, gardening, investing and woodworking. At the Arts and Crafts Center
residents teach classes, as well as
take classes, in painting, stained glass, fabric and fiber arts and
ceramics, and monthly workshops bring in local artists to share
their expertise. There is also a business center, a computer
lab, restaurant and grill and a small library. Adult learning
continues through Senior University, a partnership with
Georgetown's Southwestern University that offers academic courses
for retirees. The huge recreation center/clubhouse provides even more to
do. This wonderful facility boasts a ballroom
(where theater presentations take place), a six-lane indoor pool, an
outdoor, resort-style pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a spa
and classes in everything from yoga to water aerobics. Open-air Berry Lake
Pavilion, built along the creek that runs through the grounds, is a popular gathering place
for picnics and community events. Residents also take advantage of
an extensive system of jogging/walking paths, parks and greenbelts
throughout the 5,600-acre community. There is even a Lifestyle
Director to ensure that no one gets bored. Perhaps
what brings the most retirees to Sun City are its three golf
courses. The White Wing Golf Club is a challenging, 18-hole,
par-72 championship course, and Legacy Hills Golf Club, an 18-hole
course nestled in rolling hills and designed by PGA champion Billy
Casper and golf architect Greg Nash, is recognized as one of the
premier golf courses of the Texas Hill Country (it has been called
the best all-around course in Central Texas by the Austin
American-Statesman). Both course are open for public play
and have a nine-acre practice range, a putting green, a clubhouse, a
pro shop and a lounge. The third golf course, the Cowan Creek
Golf Club, just recently opened. In this part of the
country, the average July
temperatures reach the mid-90s during the day and dip into the
mid-70s during the evening. Winters are mild with highs in the
50s and lows in the 30s. Average humidity is 56% so the
summers are not unbearable. The area receives an average of 35
inches of rain a year.
