The highlight of Sun City is its three golf courses. The White Wing Golf Club is a challenging, 18-hole, par-72 championship course, and Legacy Hills Golf Club is an 18-hole course nestled in rolling hills. Designed by PGA champion Billy Casper and golf architect Greg Nash, it is is recognized as one of the premier golf courses of the Texas Hill Country. The Cowan Creek course has small landing zones off the tee and approaches into large undulating greens. A practice range, a putting green, a clubhouse, a pro shop and a lounge round out the golf amenities.

Sun City's residents enjoy a strong sense of community. The 86,000 square foot Village Center is where people meet to partake in chartered clubs, including ones devoted to aviation, bridge, RVing, tennis, gardening, investing and woodworking. At the Arts and Crafts Center, residents take classes and teach classes in painting, stained glass, fabric and fiber arts and ceramics. Monthly workshops bring in local artists to share their expertise.

Residents also enjoy a business center, a computer lab, restaurant and grill and a small library. Adult learning continues through Senior University, a partnership with Georgetown's Southwestern University that offers academic courses for retirees.

Sun City's 20,000 square foot recreation center/clubhouse provides even more to do. This facility boasts a ballroom (where theater presentations take place), a six-lane indoor pool, an outdoor, resort-style pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a spa and classes in everything from yoga to water aerobics.

Open-air Berry Lake Pavilion, built along the creek that runs through the grounds, is a popular gathering place for picnics and community events. Residents also take advantage of an extensive system of jogging/walking paths, parks and greenbelts throughout the community.

St. David's Georgetown Hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission and is award-winning for pulmonary care, emergency medicine, general surgery, neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery and stroke care.

Georgetown is quaint and friendly and started as a farming and ranching community in the mid-19th century. The founding of Texas University, known today as Southwestern University, set the stage for a prosperous future. Today, residents enjoy a revitalized downtown, walking trails, farmers' markets and more. During the spring, Georgetown bursts with color as wild flowers and red poppies bloom with abandon.

Summer temperatures in this area reach the high-90s during the day and dip into the mid-70s during the evening. Winters are mild with high temperatures in the 50s and lows in the 30s. On average, the Georgetown receives 33 inches of rain per year.

Texas:

Two Spanish explorers in the 16th and 17th centuries were the first Europeans to visit this area and settled near El Paso in 1682. A French colony also existed for a time at Matagorda Bay. Americans started to settle at the edge of the Brazos River in 1821. Mexico, recently independent from Spain, controlled Texas at this time.

The American settlers eventually rebelled against Mexico and fought for their independence in the Texas Revolution (1835 to 1836). Legendary battles included San Jacinto and the Alamo. The U.S. annexed Texas in 1845, and the Mexican-American War began in 1846 as Mexico fought to keep Texas.

The U.S. captured Mexico City in 1848 and ended the war. The subsequent Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo not only kept Texas in the U.S. but gave the Americans ownership of California, half of New Mexico, most of Arizona, Nevada, Utah and parts of Wyoming and Colorado. Texas has been a part of the U.S. ever since.

The Lone Star State is the second biggest in the country in size, after Alaska, and it leads every other state in the production of cattle, sheep, oil, as well as cotton. Geography ranges from arid, flat plains in the west to the thick piney woods in the east.

Texas also boasts 100 state parks, the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, the Alamo and Big Bend Mountains National Park. In September, 2017, one of its major cities, Houston, received 51 inches of rain during Hurricane Irma.

What are the Benefits of a 55+ Development?

Developments designed for the 55+ crowd offer a lot of benefits. The main ones are security, plenty of recreation opportunities and a sense of community with people of similar backgrounds, but the benefits do not end there. Nearly all 55+ single family home communities, particularly newer ones, have single story homes, whether single family homes, town homes or condominiums. No more having to go up and down stairs all day long. Many have a homeowners' association that take care of the exterior maintenance, including mowing the lawn and shoveling the snow. Others have rental programs so that if you decide to go on vacation for six months, the association will find a qualified renter for you. There are even communities that will, for a monthly fee, provide meals, housekeeping and 24/7 emergency services.
