Half of IronOaks — Ironwood and Oakwood run together as one country club, so buying here gives you two communities’ worth of amenities. Guard gated, upscale, with its own golf and a shared clubhouse.
New to Sun Lakes? It’s five separate country club communities, not one. Ironwood pairs with Oakwood as IronOaks Country Club — the two share everything.
Read the full Sun Lakes guide →Ironwood opened in 1987 as the fourth Sun Lakes community. It sits at the higher end of the five, and it’s guard gated. But the thing that really sets it apart is its tie to Oakwood. The two run together as IronOaks Country Club.
IronOaks: two communities, one country club
Ironwood and Oakwood run together as IronOaks Country Club. They share it all. Live in Ironwood and you use Oakwood’s facilities too, and the other way around. Between the two you get more than one golf course, a big shared clubhouse, and the most to do of any Sun Lakes pair.
That’s the main reason buyers pick Ironwood. You’re not buying into one community’s facilities. You’re buying into two. If you golf a lot, or you want the fullest social calendar in Sun Lakes, IronOaks is hard to beat.
The Sun Lakes rule still holds at the edges. Outside IronOaks, you can’t use Cottonwood’s or Palo Verde’s amenities unless you’re a guest of an owner there. But you can eat at any of the five restaurants.
Guard gated
Ironwood is guard gated. A guard is on duty 24/7. Residents drive through on a windshield transponder; visitors get stopped at the gate. It’s one of three guard-gated Sun Lakes communities, along with Oakwood (its IronOaks partner) and Palo Verde. If a guarded entrance is a must-have, Ironwood has it.
Homes & golf
Ironwood is all single-family homes. There are no townhomes here — that’s Oakwood’s and Cottonwood’s turf. The homes tend to run larger and a bit nicer than the older parts of Sun Lakes. And through IronOaks you get more than one course to play. There are several ways to golf here, so ask us about the current options.

What is IronOaks?
IronOaks Country Club is the combined operation of Ironwood and Oakwood. The two communities share all amenities — multiple golf courses, a large shared clubhouse, pools and courts. Buy in either one and you use both. It’s the biggest amenity footprint of any Sun Lakes pairing.
Is Ironwood guard gated?
Yes — a guard on duty 24/7, residents through on a transponder, visitors stopped. Ironwood, Oakwood, and Palo Verde are the three guard-gated Sun Lakes communities.
Are there townhomes in Ironwood?
No. Ironwood is single-family homes only. If you want a townhome within IronOaks, look at its partner Oakwood, which has them.
Why are Ironwood’s fees the highest in Sun Lakes?
You’re paying for the guard gate plus the full IronOaks amenity set spread across two communities. Both the HOA and the one-time capital improvement fee are the highest of the five — the trade-off for the most to do and the most security.
