Sun Lakes Lady Niners ready for league play on Dec. 20
The Sun Lakes Lady Niners love to play golf. Even though the 2025-26 golfing season had a delayed start in November due to course closure, a robust schedule of five weeks of league play was completed in December.
As the snowbirds return to Sun Lakes, Lady Niners look forward to the Welcome Back brunch and participating in several invitational tournaments. The Lady Niners golf at Sun Lakes Country Club on Tuesday mornings at 9 a.m. (10 a.m. during the colder months of December and January).
A couple of reminders are in order as members return:
• You must be a member of the Arizona Golf Association (AGA) in order to play in the league. Annual member dues are $45.
• The Lady Niners club dues will be $25 for the year, and the Game Day Fund will be $3 per game. The Game Day Fund is in addition to the green fees paid to the Sun Lakes Golf Club.
