The one that started it all — Ed Robson’s first Sun Lakes community, from 1972. Own the land under a single-family or manufactured home, pay one simple flat fee, and get into Sun Lakes for the lowest buy-in of the five.
Sun Lakes Country Club is where Ed Robson broke ground in 1972 and launched what became Robson Resort Communities. It’s the founding neighborhood of the whole Sun Lakes area — and decades on, it’s still the value entry point to it. New here? Sun Lakes is five separate country club communities, not one, run under three homeowners associations. This is the original, and the most affordable way in.
Two kinds of home, and you own the land under both
This is what makes Sun Lakes Country Club different from the other four, and from a lot of communities anywhere. You can buy a single-family home here, or a manufactured home — and either way, you own the land it sits on outright, with clear title, like any piece of real estate.
That matters more than it sounds. In many manufactured-home communities you only lease the ground, which means a lot fee that keeps climbing and a home that’s harder to finance and resell. Not here. The manufactured homes at Sun Lakes Country Club sit on owned land, which makes them a genuinely affordable, genuinely ownable way into a golf community — not a compromise. Our rule, so you know where we stand: we don’t put buyers into homes on leased land. Here you don’t have to worry about it — the land comes with the home, whichever type you choose.
One flat fee — refreshingly simple
Here’s something you’ll appreciate after shopping the other communities: the HOA fee at Sun Lakes Country Club is the same flat amount no matter what you own. Single-family or manufactured, the fee doesn’t change — $1,842 a year, about $154 a month. There’s no townhome sub-association, no “it depends on square footage,” no separate fee schedule to untangle. What you see is what you pay. In a world where we tell buyers “always verify what the fee covers,” this one is about as clean as it gets. It’s also the same base dues the Cottonwood and Palo Verde communities charge — the difference is that Sun Lakes Country Club adds no gate or road fee on top.
Golf, amenities & daily life
Like each Sun Lakes community, Sun Lakes Country Club has its own golf and its own clubhouse — fitness center, restaurant, pools, hobby rooms, and a ballroom, plus pickleball, tennis, and a full social calendar. The course is an 18-hole executive layout — par 60, about 3,874 yards from the back tees — the kind of shorter, walkable course that’s easy on the schedule and on the body, and a friendly place to keep your game sharp without a five-hour round. It’s private to Sun Lakes residents and their guests, played on prepaid annual green-fee cards or daily play, with tee times through the community’s reservation system. There are several ways to play; ask us about the current membership and green-fee options.
Remember the Sun Lakes rule: you use this community’s amenities. You can’t drop in on the pools or gyms at Ironwood or Oakwood unless you’re the guest of an owner there. The one thing you can do anywhere in Sun Lakes is eat — all five communities’ restaurants are open to you. And unlike Cottonwood/Palo Verde or the IronOaks pair, Sun Lakes Country Club doesn’t share an amenity partner — it stands on its own.

Homes & a word on age
Because this is the original 1972 community, the homes here are the oldest in Sun Lakes. That’s not a problem — many are beautifully kept and updated — but it does mean the mechanicals matter more than the finishes: roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and, on manufactured homes, the age and condition of the home itself. This is exactly what we look at when we walk a home with you, and we’ll tell you what it needs and roughly what it’ll cost before you’re committed.
What it costs to buy here (2026)
| Fee | 2026 amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Annual HOA dues | $1,842 | About $154/month — flat, all home types |
| Capital investment fee | $2,763 | One-time — the lowest of the five communities |
| Transfer fee | $400 | One-time |
| Two months’ prepaid dues | $307 | Collected at closing |
| Condo certificate fee | $39 | Condos only, if applicable |
| At closing | ~$3,163 | Plus two months’ dues prepaid |
Golf is separate. That capital investment fee is the lowest of any Sun Lakes community — part of why this is the value way in. Fees are current for 2026 as provided and subject to change — we confirm every figure with the association before you commit.

Is Sun Lakes Country Club a retirement community?
Yes — it’s the original Sun Lakes retirement community, a 55+ active adult neighborhood dating to 1972 where you own the land under both single-family and manufactured homes. At least one resident must be 55 or older.
Do I own the land with a manufactured home here?
Yes. At Sun Lakes Country Club, both single-family and manufactured homes sit on land you own — you’re not leasing the ground. That’s rare for manufactured-home living and it’s the single biggest reason these homes hold their value. We don’t put buyers into homes on leased land, so this matters to us too.
Is the HOA fee different for manufactured vs. single-family?
No — it’s the same flat fee regardless of what you own: $1,842 a year, about $154 a month. No townhome sub-fee, no square-footage schedule. Clean and simple, and the same base dues the other Sun Lakes communities charge.
Is Sun Lakes Country Club gated?
No, it’s not gated. Three of the five Sun Lakes communities are guard gated — Palo Verde, Ironwood, and Oakwood — while this one and Cottonwood are open.
How old are the homes?
This is the original 1972 community, so these are the oldest homes in Sun Lakes. Many are well kept and updated, but age means the mechanicals matter — roof, HVAC, plumbing, and the condition of manufactured homes especially. We check all of that with you before you offer.
Can I use the other Sun Lakes communities’ amenities?
No — you use this community’s amenities. Unlike the IronOaks pair or Cottonwood/Palo Verde, Sun Lakes Country Club doesn’t share with a partner. But you can eat at any of the five communities’ restaurants.
