Sun Lakes Country Club

Overview: Sun Lakes Country Club in Banning is a private 18-hole course in a large active-adult community south of Interstate 10. Current course references credit David A. Rainville and list a par-72 layout measuring 7,017 yards from the back tees, with several shorter options. The scale is championship-oriented for a residential club, while the surrounding setting combines landscaped fairways, mountain views and the practical amenities of a member community. Play is limited to members and approved guests.

History: Sun Lakes was developed during the 1980s as a planned golf community. Contemporary reporting describes a course designed by Tustin-based David Rainville, with completion scheduled for September 1987, and the course-design directory also lists the exact Banning course as a 1987 Rainville project. The club remains an active private facility with golf, dining and HOA operations at 850 Country Club Drive. A separate executive course exists at the property and is not merged into this record.

Did You Know? The 7,017-yard back card is only one way to experience Sun Lakes: current listings show blue, white, green and red tees, creating a substantial spread for different abilities. The course’s scale is striking for a residential layout, and the surrounding community was planned around the fairways rather than added beside an older municipal course.
