Where Tee Times Beat Rush Hour

🧭Generally defined as the area: Avenue 38 to 54, Jefferson to Monroe, Indio’s giant 55 plus bubble

📌Sun City is best known for: more fairways than grocery aisles and pickleball that gets intense

👕You can spot a Sun City local by: a 6 am tee time and a hard 25 mph golf cart limit

👍Locals live here because: the HOA handles the hassle and potlucks are packed

👎Do not say we did not warn you about: the 55 plus rule that means the grandkids visit, they do not stay
