Golf Course The large beautiful common areas of Sunshine include a par 3, 9-hole golf course. (See Pictures at Bottom of Page) ​ Sunshine is the Home of the Good Neighbor Day Golf Tournament. ​ It is free to play to all Residents and their Immediate Families. Guests can play for a nominal fee. ​ There are both Ladies' and Men's Golf Leagues. Men play on Tuesday mornings. Ladies play on Wednesday mornings. ​ Several Golf Scrambles are played on multiple Days & Times. ​ Various Golf Tournaments are played throughout the year. Information below contains excerpts from the SEPO Policies & Procedures COMMON AREA The term ‘Common Area’ refers to all real property contained in Sunshine C ountry Club Estates and includes the golf course. ​ ​ GOLF COURSE The golf course may NOT be reserved for private parties. It may only be reserved for SEPO events, with SEPO Board approval. Sunshine Country Club Estates’ guests (not qualifying as immediate family members of owners) as well as ENCORE residents are required to pay green fees before starting play. ENCORE residents must wear their RV name badges and display the green fee tag on their golf bag. All golfers are required to have their own clubs and bag or other appropriate carrier. Foursomes are suggested when the golf course is busy except during league play. More than five should never play at one time. Play is required to start at the number one tee at all times from October 1st through April 30th. However, persons may join players already in progress as long as it is agreeable to those players and does not make more than a foursome. Use of a tee is required at all times when teeing off. Practice is not allowed on any part of the golf course except on the putting green by number one tee box. Keep riding carts on cart paths when teeing off and 20 feet from greens when possible and practical. Replace divots on tee boxes and fairways. Repair ball marks on greens. Do not trespass upon owner’s property at any time except to retrieve straying golf balls. Never hit the ball out of an owner’s yard. Do not rake for balls during active play. Everyone is required to wear appropriate clothing including shirts at all times on the golf course. No bicycles or motor scooters are allowed on the golf course. Anyone wishing to use a riding golf cart to play golf may do so by paying an annual Golf Course Improvement fee. A sticker must be purchased each year and placed in plain view on the windshield of the cart. All Golf Course Improvement Fees collected shall be used for the construction/continued maintenance and repair of: future/existing concrete golf cart pathways/trails, water features on the golf course, including, but not limited to, masonry walls of the golf course ponds and aeration pumps/fountains, water irrigation and pond lighting improvements. All of these improvements shall be located within the limits of the golf course. When the golf course is closed because of excessive rain accumulation or for maintenance procedures, signs will be posted in front of the Office and at the number one tee box. At times when the course does remain open there may be posted restrictions on the use of riding golf carts even though walkers are permitted. If in question, you should check the office area before proceeding to the first hole to play, in the event you are not starting on the number one tee in league play. The golf green fee for a temporary guest as defined under GUESTS is $2.00 to play in scramble for nine holes, which includes tournaments and guest days. The green fee for a temporary guest to play nine holes is $5.00. These fees are paid at the office. The golf green fee for an incidental guest as defined under GUESTS is $10.00 for nine holes and $15.00 for eighteen holes. This same fee will apply to residents of ENCORE. You may only enter or exit the golf course by means of a cart path, never from your backyard or a neighbor’s back yard. There are cart paths leading from each street to enter and exit the course. The course is for playing golf. It is not a shortcut from one street to another. The SEPO golf course is restricted during Men’s and Women’s Golf League play as follows: During the months from April 1 thru September 30 the SEPO golf course is restricted for: Tuesday Men’s League play from 8:30 to 10 AM. Wednesday Women’s League play from 8:30 to 10 AM. During the months from October 1 through March 31 the SEPO golf course is restricted for: Tuesday Men’s League play from 8 AM to Noon. Wednesday Women’s League play from 9 AM to Noon. If you are not participating in the Men’s or Women’s scheduled Golf League play, you must wait until the entire League play is completed before gathering to play. Golfers who wish to play ‘after League play has completed’ are requested not to stage at Hole #1, as this has shown to prevent League players from using the cart paths to advance on the course. Non-League golfers should gather on Michigan Avenue, away from the cart path, in anticipation of League play completion, in order to reduce congestion on Hole #1 tee box “Feeding ducks on the golf course is prohibited.” Per the TX Parks & Wildlife, it is an offense to feed or offer any wildlife or exotic wildlife unsecured in a manner that makes food available to wildlife or exotic wildlife unless specifically authorized. The feeding of birds can be permitted using feeders that contain food in a specific area. ​ USE OF COMMON AREA Guests other than immediate family shall pay green fees for golfing. ENCORE (Sunshine RV Park) residents wearing their badges may use the golf course during open hours by filling out a green fee tag, displaying it on their bag and depositing the correct green fees in the mailbox used for collection located at Number One tee. All outdated green fee tags must be removed from their golf bag. Use of the golf course by ENCORE residents will be reviewed at least annually by the Board of Directors and will be restricted or eliminated if the Board finds the course is overcrowded or such restriction is needed for any other reason. Organizers of approved golf tournaments shall be allowed to invite persons other than owners to enter and play golf in tournaments subject to paying the appropriate green fees. In the event an Owner is the single owner/occupant of a home, then he or she is allowed to invite one guest to accompany him or her in the use of the common facilities at any time. GUESTS An incidental guest is defined as not being a member of your immediate family and who resides within a 50 mile radius. Guests who wish to play golf must be accompanied by the host resident and no more than three (3) guests may play with the resident. Such incidental guest is limited to no more than two occasions per year of use of the common facilities. Private party guests in Retzlaff Hall or the Lounge, Sunburst and the Pavilion are excluded from this rule. Greens fees are set forth under GOLF. A temporary guest is defined as not being a member of your immediate family and who resides outside of a 50 mile radius. Such temporary guest includes those staying with the owner in his home or elsewhere while visiting. If the guest is staying outside the resident’s home, the resident must accompany the guest while playing. This temporary guest is limited to use of the common facilities for no more than thirty consecutive days per year. Greens fees are set forth under GOLF. A badge is no longer required for in-house overnight guests who are entitled to use all facilities in the common area. All children under age 16 years must be accompanied by an adult. If your in-house guest wishes to play golf you must obtain a yellow tag which must be displayed on the golf bag. The tag must be returned to the SEPO office. If an owner wishes to pay for their house golf guest they may do so by keeping track of the number of times their guest plays and pay the proper amount after the guest leaves. ​ PETS Pets are never allowed on the golf course. ​ PROPERTY AND YARD MAINTENANCE ​ No placement of any type of enhancement on the golf course area (flagpole, bird house, tree, shrub, flower, etc.) is allowed without approval of the SEPO Board. In order to control water pressure for the golf course, owners are prohibited from watering their own yards using Resaca water between the hours of 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. Noncompliance may result in the capping off of the Resaca water to their property. ​ SMOKING REGULATIONS Smoking will be allowed on the Golf Course but no cigarette butts may be discarded on the grounds. Consideration should be given to nonsmokers if riding in the same golf cart. Extinguished cigarette butts may be placed in the cup holders used for broken tees. ​ GOLF COURSE IMPROVEMENTS and OTHER INFO OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS 2023-05-23: Golf: Aerating the Greens - It appears the weather will cooperate this week to allow us to begin aerating the greens. We will start around Wednesday noon and should be completed by Friday afternoon. The course will be open, but please play around the workers. - Randy Davis, Golf Course Director ​ 2023-04-20: Golf Course Maintenance - All of the following information is contingent on the weather (rain, wind conditions, etc.): At noon Wednesday, April 26, we will begin aerating the greens. We will be completed Friday afternoon. The course will be playable, but the greens will be rough and you will need to skip holes that are being actively worked. Throughout the next few months, on Thursday mornings (while it’s still dark), we will be spraying turf management solution. This is purchased at Home Depot over the counter. It helps with our grass and as a side by-product helps kill mosquitos where they breed. It does not affect ornamentals, roses, flowers, shrubs, trees, fruits, citrus, and vegetables. If you don’t drink it, it’s safe for humans and pets. It has a smell to remind you to be extra aware for you and your critters. Also as needed, there will be periodic spraying to kill clover and encroaching carpet grass in small sections of the course. Thank you for your patience. - Randy Davis Golf Course Director ​ 2023-01-16: Golf course bridge closure - This is to advise that Wednesday (1/18/23) at noon, the bridge from the # 1 green to the # 2 tee box will be closed. You will be directed to go in front of the # 3 green and up # 2. The bridge will be reopened Thursday morning. - Randy Davis, Golf Course Director ​ 2022-11-17: 2023 HOA Assessments - The Golf Course Improvement Fee of $25.00 for Golf Cart Permit will remain the same for 2023. - SEPO Board ​ 2022-10: SEPO Newsletter - The course is shaping up nicely. Manny and Joe have done an excellent job of maintaining the area, especially during long drought times and lack of irrigation water. Each time you play, think about leaving the course nicer than you found it. All of us, golfers and non-golfers, should want a nice course to see and play. Any help you bring will be appreciated. Any questions or concerns, please let me know. - Remember, a good golf partner is one who's always a little bit worse than you are. - Randy Davis, SEPO Golf Course Director ​ 2022-08-15: Golf Course: Looks Great - Manny and Joe have done a great job at keeping our golf course green. It’s a beautiful thing and great to play on! - Randy Davis SEPO Board - Golf Course Director Back to Top

People have left the pool area because the music interfered with their enjoyment of the area. People go to the pool to swim, sunbathe, read, relax, etc. If you are alone at the pool, feel free to play your music. When another person enters the area, please, be considerate and ask that person if he/she objects to your music or the volume level of your music. If it bothers him/her, please, turn your music off or use earbuds. The reverse is true as well. If there is someone in the pool or lounging in the area, the "music lover" should request permission before turning on his/her music.

They cannot grow crops without irrigating. You may have noticed when you drive down our streets that there is standing water in them due to residents over-watering. Anyone who is watering their lawn should limit it to twice a week. Watering more often than that saturates the ground, and it will not be able to soak up water when it rains.

After some research, it was decided to start adding all of the SEPO activities, meetings etc that were requested (see request process HERE ) to the SEPO G-Mail Office Calendar. I do believe Valerie has been posting that calendar (by month) in the library all summer. Although I had never gotten around to putting it on the Web site - low and behold - both August & September are out there as of yesterday. (see this page ) When you look at it for the first time you will probably say - I can't read that!! Simply enlarge the document on your computer or other smart device to view the details. I have also included the 'color legend' of where the activities take place on page one of each month's calendar. Please review the calendar carefully to ensure the activites, etc you have previously requested are listed correctly - days, dates, times, descriptions etc. Please let the office know if something needs added, deleted or changed. I know things are pretty much status quo for the next couple of months, so I probably won't be updating these two documents on the Web site. However, with the winter season rapidly approaching, I need to figure out a 'not so labor intensive' method of keeping the updated monthly calendars on the Web site.

The National Remembrance Act - Moment of Silence - pause at 3pm local time. (We will incorporate this with the program at the Gazebo). Sunshine is a proud community and there are two parts to our Memorial Day program - the Veterans Tribute (Golf Cart Parade & Gazebo Program) and the Potluck which will follow shortly thereafter in Retz Hall. There is a signup sheet in the Library. For the Parade and Gazebo part, I am looking for volunteers to help with several facets. The Potluck Team are doing their thing at Retz Hall.

Marian Young, Secretary (FROM Newsletter: 03-2020) Woodworkers' Club Report - The days are flying; by and, if you drive by the Woodshop, you’ll hear the woodworking power tools buzzing away.

Suzie Sawyer, President ​ (FROM Newsletter: 02-2020) Woodworker’s Club Report - Once again, the residents of Sunshine Estates gave outstanding support to the Woodworker’s Club and its spaghetti dinner this past week. And the number of people who gave their time to prepare the food (special kudos to the kitchen help), served the food and drinks, baked cakes and cleaned up afterwards are thanked for spending their time and efforts to help the Woodshop as well. As some of you know, the Woodshop is replacing the current table saws with SAWSTOPS that instantaneously shut down should a finger or hand touch the blade when the machine is running. Thanks to Pat Harvey and his committee for undertaking this huge task. One of the SAWSTOPS will be purchased with Woodshop funds; the other through a fundraising effort. If you’d like to support the Woodshop in this project as well, you can do so by delivering a check to the Woodshop. Monitor trainings have been given by Jack Berning and there are currently 24 authorized monitors for the Woodshop; in January, 13 more people took the Orientation and Safety Class done by John Chajec. Consider giving woodworking a try! On Tuesday, February 4, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Dennis Pickett will be teaching a class on lathing acrylics in the Woodshop. He has made some beautiful bowls and vases and it’s another hobby that can be fun and challenging. No need to sign up; just show up! Thanks, Dennis, for doing this for us. Wednesday, February 5, at 8:00 a.m. is the monthly scheduled woodshop clean-up and we sure would love to see a few more faces to help the dependable 4-5 people who always show up to clean.

Any questions call John Chajec at 708-280-8940 (FROM Newsletter: 01-2020) Woodworkers' Club Report - Activity at the Woodshop is finally picking up as the late snowbirds make their migration south. At the most recent meeting, the Woodworkers’ Club elected new officers for 2020. They include Cathy Chajec, Treasurer; Marian Young, Secretary; Jack Berning, Vice President; and Suzie Sawyer, President. The term of office begins on January 1, 2020. A heartfelt thank you to Chuck McEvoy who served as the Woodshop Secretary for 4 years. The membership was recently presented with a proposal to investigate the possible purchase of a miraculous table saw called SAWSTOP. If you google it, you will see that somehow the whole table saw shuts down in a flash if flesh or dampness touches the saw blade. A demonstration of the SAWSTOP was held on Tuesday, December 17, and over 30 woodworkers attended. All were amazed at the split-second response of the table saw that eliminates the hazard of being cut by the saw. At the January 10 meeting, the membership will consider purchasing a SAWSTOP from the treasury and having a fund-raising effort to purchase a second SAWSTOP. The technology is available to end the possibility of serious injuries on table saws, so the matter is worth addressing. We encourage woodworkers to attend the January 10 meeting at 1:00 p.m. at the Woodshop to vote on this matter. It is our hope that SEPO residents will once again support the Woodworkers’ Spaghetti Dinner scheduled for Tuesday, January 21. Cathy Chajec is again heading up the event and will need several 9x13 cakes, cooks, servers and a clean-up crew to provide a nice evening at Retzlaff Hall. Tickets will be on sale starting January 6 and can be purchased from members of the Woodworkers’ Club. Securing help for the spaghetti dinner will also be an item on the agenda at the January 10 meeting. Wishing everyone the best of the Christmas season and a Happy New Year.

We are still a little short of having enough monitors to keep the shop open from Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m.-noon and 1:00p.m.-4:00 p.m. So, if you go there for some reason and it is closed, bear with us. Things will perk up after the holidays. There will be a monitor class/refresher course on Wednesday, December 4 at 1:00 p.m. that will cover monitor responsibilities and some additional shop safety information. Elections will take place at the December 13 meeting (held at 1:00 p.m. at the Woodshop) and there will not be a meeting on December 27.

The woodworkers have held orientation classes for new woodworkers, refresher classes for monitors at the woodshop, and turning classes for people who want to make their own bowls, vases, and anything else that can be made on a lathe. ​ The woodworkers have two meetings a month on the second and fourth Friday at 1:00 p.m. at the woodshop. February’s meetings will be held on the 8th and 22nd. Feel free to join us to meet a lot of great guys and gals, now that more women are getting involved. If you have visitors at your house, feel free to bring them to see woodshop because we believe SEPO has one of the best woodshops in the Rio Grande Valley! Again, thanks to everyone for ensuring that the Woodworkers’ Spaghetti Dinner will be another great success. Suzie Sawyer, President

Karren Amos ​ Sent 2022-04-12: ROCK PAINTING at Sunshine! - TO all: I am trying to see if there's any interest in ROCK PAINTING at Sunshine! It would be a good hobby during very hot periods of time. You do not have to have any previous rock painting, or any painting talent at all. Have you noticed painted rocks by the mailbox entry? I left them for anyone that would want them. They are always gone the next time I go check our mail, and leave another rock. I've received feedback for a couple of the rocks I left there. One is on its' way to WI by a Sunshine resident. If you are interested, please let me know by contacting me per my information below. Depending on interest, or not, I will be providing further details on how this would work. Best days, times, etc. Those that are interested could go to FB Harlingen Rocks to get a glimpse of "painted rocks"! Anyone could enjoy this activity with no previous painting or art experience. Karren Amos ph 309-781-3479 email karrenaamos@gmail.com I look forward to hearing from you soon. Back to Top
