Sun City Carolina Lakes is really like living a big, adult “playground”, complete with friends who share the same interests and have lots in common. Many are from the east coast, are “half backs” from Florida, with about 25 % coming in from other areas. There are NY and NJ clubs, Michigan and Ohio Clubs, bridge, Canasta, poker, euchre, mahjongg, bunco and Mexican dice clubs- as well as religious clubs, wine tasting, dinner and travel clubs, etc. If you have an interest, it probably already has a corresponding club in place with folks that share your interests and meet to share their love of the hobby. Or, be social and start your own club!
Surrounding the Lake House Amenity Center are eight, well-lit, clay tennis courts, a pickle ball court and covered music / lunch pavilion, bocce ball courts, an outdoor resort-style pool with two lap lanes that offers handicap accessible access, plus and adjacent fishing pier on a small lake (already stocked with bass, catfish, perch and brim)!
There’s also an “Outdoor” Amenity area, that includes a Kayak / Canoe pavilion and storage area for the same, plus more community gardens, a softball field, full basketball court, additional pickle ball courts and walking trails.
This Outdoor Amenity center area borders the gorgeous, free-flowing Catawba River; so even if you don’t play sports, you can take your golf cart to the Kayak Pavilion and have lunch or wine and cheese, with the scenic background of a peaceful, rolling river right in front of you!
The community is dotted with ten scenic lakes including the above-mentioned lake behind the clubhouse with a fishing pier. Three lakes are fully fish-stocked. The community is linked together via 7+ miles of walking and biking trails that wind through the neighborhood, including surrounding the protected Indian Reserve Artifact areas and federally and state protected wetlands.
