Sun City West recreation centers. Four centers, seven courses.
The Recreation Centers of Sun City West is a nonprofit run by and for its nearly 30,000 owner members, and it is the heart of daily life here.
Life in Sun City West
Del Webb built Sun City West between 1978 and 1997, just west of the original Sun City. Today it has about 17,000 homes, and the Recreation Centers of Sun City West (RCSCW) runs the recreation centers, golf courses and clubs that make it special.
The four recreation centers
- Beardsley Recreation Center
- Kuentz Recreation Center
- Palm Ridge Recreation Center
- R.H. Johnson Recreation Center
You will find pools, fitness centers, bowling, arts and crafts studios and meeting rooms for clubs, plus the community library and the Sports Pavilion.
Seven golf courses
Deer Valley, Grandview, Pebblebrook, Trail Ridge, Desert Trails, Echo Mesa and Stardust give you a different round every day of the week. See our full Sun City West golf guide.
Clubs and activities
Residents can join any chartered club and use every rec center: golf, pickleball, woodworking, lapidary, quilting, computers, music and many more. It is easy to fill your calendar here.
Dues and fees
RCSCW owner member dues are charged each fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) for each person on the deed, and buyers pay a one-time Asset Preservation Fee at purchase. Golf is extra. See our Sun City West homes guide for how it all fits together.

“They helped me sell a condo in Sun City West and I live in NY. They had wonderful professionals to help me get the property ready for sale and they were there for me through the whole process!”
“Tim & Amy are a great tag-team. If one isn't available, the other usually is. They spent time showing us several homes and helped us dial in to what we were looking for.”
“The most worry-free way to sell your home is to work with Amy & Tim Nixon! They took care of everything from re-homing furniture and household items to cleaning and staging the house for sale.”
