PRACTICE TEE UPDATE EFFECTIVE APRIL 1
To support the transition from winter ryegrass to summer Bermuda, the practice tee will operate mats only Monday–Thursday. This allows the turf to recover and strengthen heading into peak growing conditions.
- Grass tee available Friday–Sunday
- Member Practice Area remains available daily for those seeking grass practice during mat days.
- Remember: the Warm-Up Range closes at 4:00 pm on Mondays and Thursdays for picking. Thanks for your cooperation!
Canadian Goose Nesting Season
It is currently nesting season for the Canadian Goose, and several geese have been displaying aggressive breeding behavior. Please be aware of potential nesting areas on the golf course. Once a nest contains eggs, these areas must remain free from human interference.SunBird Golf Club continues to manage goose activity to the best of our ability. We have been working with Arizona Fish and Wildlife for some time regarding appropriate management practices and will continue following their guidance during nesting season.
The Rules of Golf allow free relief at the nearest point of relief when a nest reasonably interferes with a player’s stance, swing, or line of play.

Cart Policy – Thank You
Members, thank you for your adoption and support of the updated cart policy. Along with our agronomy practices, your cooperation has already produced noticeable improvement in several trouble spots on the course. Your investment in the club truly goes a long way.A quick reminder: when pairing up and leaving a cart behind, please return spare carts to the parking lot below the Lakeview Room or along the cart path by the 1st tee. Please avoid leaving spare carts in the bag drop parking lot.
Thank you again for helping care for the course.
 THANK YOU!! What a Fantastic Conley Cup Weekend! We would like to acknowledge the many people and groups who made this year’s Conley Cup Tournament such a memorable success. A big thank you to the USA Conley Cup Team for hosting this year’s event. And to all the golfers who competed with pride for their designated countries—your enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and team spirit were on full display from the first tee shot to the final putt. Our gratitude extends to the leaders and workers who prepared the SunBird Golf Course so beautifully. The course conditions were exceptional—challenging, fair, and worthy of both the USA and Canadian teams. A special thank you goes to Kyle Jones, General Manager, for recognizing the dangers of the extreme heat and adjusting tee times so the Conley Cup teams could compete in safer, cooler conditions. We also sincerely thank all the leagues and regular tee‑time golfers who graciously gave up their times to make this accommodation possible. To our incredible Volunteers—we simply could not have done this without you. Your dedication, energy, and willingness to work through 100‑plus‑degree temperatures made the tournament not only possible, but exceptional. Finally, we extend heartfelt thanks to the entire SunBird community. Whether you watched from the sidelines, cheered from your patios, waved flags, or offered a simple “Good Luck,” your support created an atmosphere of unity and excitement that made this event truly special. We look forward with great anticipation to the 2027 Conley Cup. Until then, thank you once again to everyone who helped make this tournament such a tremendous success. THANK YOU! Canadian Men and Women Conley Cup Teams |
