Sun City Center: Golf, Theater and Nature

Sun City Center offers several focal points for planning a trip: golf, theater and the performing arts, nature, and the annual FunFest. If you’re looking for hotels in Sun City Center, you can first consider whether your trip is shaped more by an interest in sports, a cultural theme, or a specific event date. Rollins Theater is located on the Central Campus; the History Society welcomes guests to its meetings. Nature-related activities and the variety of golf courses also offer different starting points for your decision.

Golf and Golf Carts

Sun City Center has numerous private, semi-private, and public golf courses. The variety of course types is a point of reference in its own right for golf-minded travelers. The Sun City Center Community Association describes Sun City Center as a golf-cart community where most golf carts are used for purposes other than golfing. This distinction between golf courses and golf-cart use helps set the sport apart from the broader use of golf carts.

Theater and Performing Arts

Rollins Theater is located in the Old Town Hall Building on the Sun City Center Central Campus. It has projection and sound equipment, theater lighting, and comfortable seating.

Pelican Players, Inc. promotes the performing arts through productions and educational programs. This brings stage work together with arts education. Travelers weighing cultural interests can distinguish between a dedicated theater space and the production and educational activities of Pelican Players.

History and Meetings

The History Society of Greater SCC brings together records and photographs from the wider Sun City Center area and maintains an archive of historical records. Guests are welcome at the Society’s meetings. For information about meetings, call 633-3038. Since the schedule may change, call ahead to ask about current dates before visiting. For history enthusiasts, these are two distinct points of interest: historical materials from the wider area and meetings that welcome guests.

Nature and Trails

Maintaining and improving the Sun City Center Nature Trails is part of the SCC Audubon Club’s conservation mission. More than 100 young Scissor-tailed Flycatchers are successfully raised each year on the Sun City Center Bluebird Trail. The two nature topics offer different points of focus: the Nature Trails relate to the club’s conservation work, while the Bluebird Trail is associated with an annual successful breeding effort.

FunFest

The annual FunFest draws residents and visitors to the Central Campus area. If you want to plan your stay around the festival, check the specific event dates for your travel period. Unlike a stay focused on golf, theater, or nature, attending FunFest depends directly on the event date.
