SUN CITY
A PREMIER COMMUNITY IN BLUFFTON, SC
Del Webb`s first active adult community east of the Mississippi opened in 1995. While Sun City Hilton Head is actually 13 miles from the resort island it was named for, the 5,000 acre community for those over 55, has enough attractions of its own to create a stir.At the heart of Sun City is a community recreation campus featuring a theater, social center, arts and crafts facility plus billiard and computer rooms.
A state-of the-art fitness center, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, bocce courts, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, bowling center and recreation park with cookout facilities contribute to the active Sun City lifestyle. One third of the property at Sun City has been set aside for nature preservation and includes recreation trails and boardwalks. For an afternoon of fishing, residents enjoy Lake Somerset or the banks of the Okatie River.
When it comes to golf, we have two challenges designed golf courses by Mark McCumber, Okatie Creek and Hidden Cypress.
The Neighborhoods
Sun City is divided into three distinct neighborhoods: Sun City, Sun City North. and River Bend. There are 14 styles of home designs currently available in Sun City. Each design can be customized according to individual design preferences. Sun City and Sun City North are very similar and share facilities.
Riverbend, a separate enclave across Highway # 170, is a more upscale neighborhood featuring larger homes and more mature landscaping.
In Riverbend, you purchase a lot, then construct your own home using your own builder. Homes built in Riverbend must meet certain specifications.
Clubs and Activities
The number of clubs and organizations at Sun City staggers the imagination - almost every interest is represented here. Residents - or "Sun Citizens" and they are sometimes called - participate in a full spectrum of clubs, activities and special interest groups. In addition to the more than 80 clubs, there are ceramics and painting workshops, a sewing room and a popular computer room (and club) with Internet access.
The social scene is a busy one at Sun City Hilton Head with activities and events conducted for the most part in the 17,000 square foot Pinckney Hall and new 6 million dollar Magnolia Hall (theater). Dances, socials and concerts are regularly scheduled and all are notified of the particulars via the community’s newsletter, Sunsations as well as two private TV channels.

The Residents
Sun City requires that at least one person in a couple be 55 years of age or better. While residents may be approaching their "golden years," few lead a sedentary lifestyle. Activity on all fronts is the name of the Sun City game. At build-out more than 20,000 residents are expected to call Sun City Hilton Head home.
Fitness
Few communities can boast of a fitness facility more modern and complete than that of Sun City’s Purrysburg Fitness Center. In addition to state-of-the art fitness equipment, residents enjoy a dance and aerobics studio with cushioned floors, an outdoor swimming pool, and indoor 8-lane heated pool, a therapy spa plus locker rooms for men and women. .
Tennis and other sports
There are four lighted tennis courts, four lighted bocce ball courts, 4 Pickleball Courts, bowling center plus facilities for croquet and horseshoes. Bike and fitness trails with exercise stations round out the selection. There are plans for including the same activities to Sun City North.
GOLF, GOLF, AND MORE GOLF
Okatie Creek Golf Club
Okatie Creek is the first golf venue opened at Sun City and a tribute to the gifted capabilities of veteran PGA Tour pro Mark McCumber, its designer. This comfortable course integrates marshes, clever doglegs and hallways of oaks and pines to create a very playable layout. The back nine is especially effective in demanding course management. It was planned with the older golfer in mind and offers five sets of tees to accommodate all levels of ability. The best golfers will find a better challenge on the back tees; the forward tees will demand every golfer’s attention to the task before them.
Hidden Cypress Golf Club
The second course entry at Sun City is a step up on the difficulty scale. While not overwhelming, it will demand the utmost of all golfers. Mark McCumber has done some of his best work here, combing the natural topography of wetlands and subtly contoured fairways with magnificent vistas of pine stands and towering oaks Some of these very trees are centered in fairways and grab the golfer’s attention. Thousands of azalea bushes have been planted and will compete for attention in spring. Expert design has placed bunkers strategically, calling for constant shot decisions.
