Sunland Golf Courses in Mesa
Three active adult communities, three executive courses — Sunland Village, Sunland Village East & Sunland Springs Village
Three of Mesa’s 55+ active adult communities share the Sunland name — Sunland Village, Sunland Village East, and Sunland Springs Village — and buyers mix them up all the time. Each is its own community with its own golf course, so we put all three side by side here to make the choice clear. Founder Jarl Kubat has spent 22+ years walking these East Valley communities with buyers and knows how the courses actually play and who each one suits.
All three are executive-length layouts — shorter, walkable rounds built around par 3s and short par 4s, which is exactly what a lot of active adult golfers want: a real round of golf you can finish in a morning, right outside your door.

Sunland Village Golf Club
18-hole executive · par 62
The original Sunland Village, one of Mesa’s established 55+ active adult communities, wraps around an 18-hole executive course of about 3,623 yards (rating 56.5 / slope 80). It’s an easy-walking, quick-playing layout right in the heart of the community — a favorite for golfers who want to play most days without a long commitment.
Sunland Village East Golf Club
18-hole executive · par 62 · 2250 S Buttercup, Mesa
Sunland Village East plays to par 62 over two par-31 nines — 3,621 yards from the white tees (58.7 / 89) and 3,235 from the red (57.1 / 85). It’s a well-kept executive course with a full clubhouse, and Fat Willy’s Family Sports Grill sits right next to the golf shop for breakfast, lunch, or a post-round happy hour.
Sunland Springs Golf Club
27 holes · three executive nines
Sunland Springs Village, the newest of the three, offers the most golf: 27 holes across three nines — Four Peaks (par 31), San Tan (par 33), and Superstition — each named for the mountain range you aim at off the first tee. Designed by executive-course specialist Jeff Hardin, the nines mix in water, bunkers, and mature trees, and you play any two of the three for an 18-hole round. It’s the most variety of the three Sunlands.
Which Sunland course fits you?
They’re close cousins, so it often comes down to the community more than the golf. Sunland Village and Sunland Village East are both classic 18-hole par-62 executive courses — pick the one whose neighborhood, price, and homes fit you best. Sunland Springs Village is the choice if you want the most golf and the most variety, with three nines to rotate through. Tell us how you like to play and where you want to live, and we’ll point you to the right one.
Common questions
Do Mesa’s Sunland retirement communities have golf?
Yes — all three Sunland communities in Mesa (Sunland Village, Sunland Village East, and Sunland Springs Village) are 55+ active adult communities built around their own golf course, which is what many buyers mean when they search for a “Mesa retirement community” with golf. Each course is executive length, so rounds are shorter and very walkable.
What’s the difference between Sunland Village and Sunland Village East?
They’re two separate 55+ communities in Mesa with nearly twin golf courses — both 18-hole, par-62 executive layouts around 3,620 yards. The real differences are the neighborhoods, the homes, and the price points. We can walk you through both.
Are the golf courses paid for by HOA dues?
No. Each Sunland course is operated as its own golf club, separate from the community association, so your HOA dues are not what funds the course. Green fees and memberships are handled by the club.
