On the other hand, Deer Run, designed by Don Dyer and opened in 1976, offers a classic golf challenge.

Featuring Champion grass greens and 419 Bermuda grass on the fairways and roughs, Deer Run has hosted numerous local and national prestigious golf tournaments, showcasing its capacity to challenge even the most skilled golfers.
Sun 'N Lake’s commitment to golf excellence is evident in its recently renovated practice facilities, which include a new tee line, target greens, and a short game area with a practice bunker. Additionally, two expansive practice putting greens allow golfers to perfect their strokes under various conditions. The golf shop at Sun 'N Lake offers an impressive range of top-brand equipment and apparel, making it a hotspot for golf enthusiasts seeking to enhance their game.
