Cart Limitations During UIL at Cowan Creek
 
From Saturday, May 8 to Thursday, May 20 the Cowan Creek Golf Course will have a limited number of golf carts available for rent. If you are playing at Cowan Creek during these dates, please do your best to make arrangements to ride with a playing partner. If this is not possible, please be sure to reserve a golf cart ahead of time with the Cowan Creek golf shop. Both White Wing and Legacy Hills will have plenty of carts throughout those dates. Contact Andy Miller at [email protected] if you have questions.
 
 
Thank you for your support of this incredible event! 
Walking League – Push Carts are Now Available!
 
For those who participate, or would like to participate, in the walking league that is scheduled each Saturday afternoon beginning at 3 p.m., push carts are now available for rent. The cost is $5 and will be available starting with the Saturday, May 8 play day. 
 
Please be sure to indicate that you would like to reserve a push cart when you call to make your reservation so we can plan accordingly. 
Adopt-A-Hole Program
 
Our Adopt-A-Hole program is an important part of golf in Sun City. Adopt-A-Hole is an all-volunteer program that helps keep our golf courses in good shape and also saves money by helping keep maintenance issues to a minimum.
 Volunteers fill divots, repair ball marks on greens, clean up loose tees, repair or move restraining ropes as needed where excessive cart wear to grass is apparent, notify Maintenance of any exceptional issues that need to be addressed, etc. Teamwork is performed on a periodic basis, generally weekly or semi-monthly, at the discretion of each Adopt-A-Hole team.
Holes are usually “adopted” by groups of golfing buddies or golfers from a neighborhood that is near a given hole. Teams can be any size and are headed by a designated “Captain”. This person assumes responsibility for directing the team and serves as the communication focal point for his or her team as part of overall Adopt-A-Hole program coordination.
 
While all of Sun City Texas’ golf holes are currently “adopted”, teams at Cowan Creek #1, and Legacy Hills #1, #5 and #9, are looking for additional members. If you’re interested in joining one of these Adopt-A-Hole teams, please contact Clay Stubbins, Adopt-A-Hole Program Coordinator, at [email protected]
Temporary Golf Shops
 
We are moving right along with the repairs and remodel of the White Wing and Cowan Creek golf shops. 
Paint has been completed and we are now working on lighting. Once carpet has been installed we will be able to move the golf shop staff back to their respective shop locations and begin adjusting to the new normal. Thank you for your patience, our current target is to open the shops in May. We will not have the cabinetry completed by then, but we will be able to adjust the operation.
 
The temporary golf shops for White Wing and Cowan Creek are now operational. Cowan Creek Golf Shop is located in the lobby of the Cowan Amenity Center and White Wing Golf Shop is located at The Oaks. If you have any questions you can call each shop on their normal phone line. Please continue to check in at the tee or proceed to your hole for a shotgun. Again, thank you for your patience!
