But the art crowd need not feel left out and you have not been neglected!  The Village Artisan Studios provides the perfect place for art classes, clubs, and other educational, artistic, and social activities that will be formed in response to resident’s interests. Adding to the amenities of the Villa Center is the Adobe Spa and Fitness Center, an ideal place for “ripping curls” and breaking a good sweat.  Meanwhile, other residents might prefer more moderate exercise and focus their efforts on making friends while they receive information on health and fitness.  This state-of-the-art fitness center includes a heated indoor lap and exercise pool, an outdoor resort pool, indoor spa, indoor walking track, a dance/exercise studio, bocce ball, and even some lighted tennis courts.

The first thing you will see when you turn from the highway into Sun City Grand is the green fairways and crystal clear lakes of the Desert Springs and Granite Falls Golf Courses. Both of these courses were designed by PGA Hall-of-Fame Player Billy Casper and nationally renowned golf course architect Greg Nash, so you know that it’s going to be good.   So don’t let the beauty of the courses make you think that they are not challenging as well.  Both 18-hole championship courses were designed to accommodate players of all skill levels. Multiple tee placements alter the landscape of each hole by adding yardage and often require a more accurate tee shot.  Deep, wide greens make it possible to vary the difficulty of pin placement.  And those beautiful lakes, all 40 acres of them, come into play again and again.  Residents of Sun City Grand are able to play Desert Springs and Granite Falls at reduced daily green fees.  Just purchase the annual golf membership.  The fee includes a private cart trail fee, green fees, eight-day advance tee-time reservations, and more.

Sun City Grand offers a location convenient to shopping, medical services, and financial institutions.  For entertainment, the City of Phoenix offers theaters, dance companies, the Phoenix Symphony, and fine art galleries as well as the Phoenix Suns, Arizona Cardinals, Phoenix Coyotes, and the Arizona Diamondbacks professional sports franchises.  Hiking, camping, fishing, and sightseeing at the Grand Canyon are all available at little cost or effort.

What characterizes the Sun City Grand lifestyle most are the residents and the collection of special clubs and organizations which are formed as the community grows. If you are looking for an active adult community for adults 55 and better, Sun City Grand is the only place for you.
