The Sun Lakes Lady Niners love to play golf. The Lady Niners enjoyed a schedule of four weeks of league play including a fun Scramble during April. Since the weather is heating up earlier this year, the starting tee time for league play was changed to 8:30 a.m. instead of 9 a.m. for the month of April. Since league play runs from November through April, the last league play for 2025-26 season was completed with a fun scramble on April 28. 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, January, and February).
The Lady Niners bid farewell to our Snowbird members who venture back north for the summer. Members who stay in Sun Lakes for the summer plan to get together and play golf on an informal basis to sharpen golfing skills as schedules allow. By all measures the 2025-26 golfing season was a great success for all and we look forward to welcoming all members back in the Fall. Happy summer.
