Viewpoint features both an 18-hole championship and a 9-hole executive course that will satisfy players of all abilities. The par 71 championship course provides a fair test without the extremes of desert target golf. Relax and enjoy the tree-lined fairways and strategic bunkering. The sounds of rippling streams or cascading waterfalls will remind you why we play this game. If you’re a beginning player or working on your short game, you’ll love our 9-hole executive course. This is a wonderful place to take the youngsters or to enjoy a quick nine when time is short. Our facilities include Fat Willy’s Clubhouse Pub & Grill, with spacious banquet rooms and a quaint little bar and grill that will surely quench your thirst or appetite before, during or after your round on the links. Our settings are ideal for most types of group functions. The Terrace Green Event Center with its elegant decor and stunning scenery can be the perfect setting for any group event including weddings, receptions, golf outings, and social gatherings.

Wednesday, November 3, 2021 Sun City CC 8:30 AM $59.00. Click here to get the course website.

Despite the typical Arizona climate, Sun City Country Club is not a typical desert-style course. Sun City Country Club is lined with large shade trees, a classic layout forcing accurate shots and good iron play. Our 18 hole course is as challenging as it is enjoyable. With four sets of tees, play at Sun City Country Club spans between 5,145 and 6,275 yards, making it a treat for players of all skill and experience levels. SCCC is a par 72 golf course, and the variety and challenges on these grounds have made it a long-time Arizona golf favorite! Home to the 2014 & 2015 Arizona Women’s Open, we know that you will enjoy a club that has withstood the test of time.

The 2021 VGA Club Championship, Saturday, November 6th and 7th, 2021, @ Laughlin Ranch GC in Bullhead City, Arizona

The club championship will proceed at Laughlin Ranch and feel free to add your name to the list. Club Championship qualification requires that you have played at least 10 qualified VGA events during the season of 11-01-20 to 10-31-2021. That being said…. any VGA member can go on this road trip and play in this 2-day event, maybe gamble a bit, eat well, and have a great time on a fabulous course. We have over 150 paid members so it would be nice to meet some of the players we have never seen before and those that play once in a while. This will be a memorable Championship for you and the VGA. Please note there will be no local VGA event on Saturday, Nov 6th, 2021. So grab your favorite golfing partners and make a week or weekend of it. To sign up, contact Danny Campos by phone at 602-481-5560, by email, or you can use the VGA online entry form. Hotel and restaurant recommendations will be put on our website over the next 30 days.
