We also looked into conflicts this might entail as we pursued this potential. I went into the Women's Golf meeting a week ago and asked them if they would consider allowing the GNDGT to begin on a Wednesday and finish the following Friday. I stated this would depend upon their considering giving up one day of the Women's Golf. I indicated they could play on Monday, the week of the GNDGT. I received a phone call from Dana Szretter, 2025 President of Women’s Golf, who indicated that they considered my request and had voted to defer Women's Golf on Wednesday, during the scheduled week of GNDGT, March 25, 2026. The golf course would be reserved as follows: Women’s Golf on Monday, February 23, 2026, Men's Golf on Tuesday, February 24, 2026 GNDGT on February 25, 26, and 27, 2026 I further confirmed that having Women's Golf on Monday for this last week of February appears to work based on my discussion with Scott Kronshage. Please find attached modifications of the activity’s requests related to shifting the GNDGT from Thursday through Saturday to Wednesday through Friday for 2026. The text in these requests mentions the Women’s League Golf shifting their typical day of play from Wednesday, February 25, to Monday, February 23, 2026. I also want to make sure that we have historically kept open the possibility of a one-week delay for rain dates if the weather does not cooperate. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

    S EPO Community E-Mails: October 2021 Sent 2021-10-31: Revised/New Setup at Number 1 Tee Box - For all our owners, a quick update regarding playing golf at Sunshine. All owners and their immediate family play golf for free. Immediate family is defined as the lot owners’: mother, father, sons, daughters, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, and the spouse of any of the preceding persons. Others can play golf, but the fee to play is $10 for nine holes and $15 for eighteen holes per player. We use the honor system. Bag tags and payment envelopes are contained in the mailbox at the #1 tee box. A golfing visitor should add their name to the top and bottom of the blue bag tag, and to the small payment envelope. Place payment and the bottom half of the bag tag into the small envelope and deposit the sealed envelope into the “Pay Here” vault. Place the top half of the bag tag on your golf club bag so it is visible. These instructions are posted at the #1 tee box. (See pictures below) Alternately, owners can pay for their visitors play after the fact by writing a check to the office. Happy golfing.

We need your input on what events to plan for the upcoming season as well as elections to fill some vacancies on our board.

Cathy Richmond Sent 2021-10-24: LOOKING FOR RESPONSIBLE PARTY: Broken Window adjacent to the Golf Course - We have a broken window at 1944 W Montana, owned by Dennis and Carol Welckle. (See pictures below.) The broken window is located at the rear of their home and is adjacent to our golf course. The cause of this broken window mostly likely was from an errant golf ball off the number 7 tee box. If you play golf, you should know you are responsible for damages caused by a golf ball you strike. This happened a few days ago and no one to date has come forward to claim their obligation to the owner to make this right. If you or another person you know witnessed the tee shot that caused this damage, please contact Carol Welckle at (320) 224-8044 and agree on how to resolve this issue.

This is to/for the entire SEPO Community - The SEPO Board STRONGLY RECOMMENDS that for all SEPO Organizations’ events throughout this winter, until the Covid-19 exposure issue becomes a non-issue, the chairpersons at each of these events incorporate the following statement into their event Agendas/Notices and verbally state it at the beginning of their event. Everyone attending this event “in person”, by their presence, acknowledges potential exposure to Covid-19. Each person is responsible for his/her own choice as it relates to attending events. The Board would like to thank everyone for being diligent over the past many months and ongoing in helping to keep our SEPO residents/renters safe.

Lights On -- Lock Up and Look Out for each other! CAMERA & Surveillance TASK FORCE 25 Jan 2021 1pm w HPD Lenore J. Combs, Coordinator 956 245 1276 LJCombs44@gmail.com Dear NW-CERT Volunteers, Residents and Friends, Yesterday, Monday, 25 January, we met with Harlingen Police, District Representatives led by Sgt. Charles Fechner and Officers Elizondo, Moreno and Bravo. Last week, on Friday, 22 January about 12 SCCE interested volunteers did a “walk-about” via golf carts around SCCE. The mission was to become familiar with Bad Guy hot spots and explore surveillance possibilities for Sunshine. We wanted to be prepared to have a conversation with Harlingen Police on their recommendations based on our findings and their experience. We had a suggested “cheat sheet” from the Bureau of Justice and other like organizations and took notes. We now shared our findings with the Police. They listened to our concerns, toured the Estates and made some recommendations. This is not meant to endorse any products but to be used as an example of what is out there. Many home-owners personally choose a “Ring” system which has many components designed for your needs – from simple to extravagant. There are several reputable vendors locally with other options. Bottom line – the responsibility is yours. A simple thing we can all do is place solar lighting around areas that are always dark. A specific report will be forthcoming from Bill Peterson and Tom Gossins on cameras etc. and on the Sensaphone System. Included in this walk-about was aging cameras in the Woodshop, the IR Sensaphone system in the Woodshop and Storage Lot, Valerie’s cameras in the Office and the bank of Cameras at the Front Gate. The cameras belong to SEPO but once upon a time we had many various volunteers who shared the responsibility to “keep track of and etc.” “It takes a Village” By and by, we lost our faithful volunteers and the task fell by the wayside. So recently it was brought back to life. This planning exercise surfaced in December 2020 over conversations regarding concern for our overall security in SCCE. It was further explored with the NW Camera Task Force volunteers who responded to a call-out. (some volunteers are not NW but were interested SCCE residents.) Even though we have had comparatively less criminal mischief disturbances than other similar communities we are not immune and should stay on top of security to keep us safe. Respectfully, Lenore J. Combs Sent 2021-01-26: ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A COMPANION - Looking for a home for our cat. Haseyfu is a mellow 18 year old cat. He is declawed on front paws. He is current on all vaccines.

Sent 2023-12-22: 2024 SEPO Election Committee Announcements - Hi Everyone - I figure this week you are well into the Christmas spirit and the last thing you want to think about is 'volunteering' to work on a committee. However, this is exactly the time of year that SEPO Election Committees get into gear. If you attended the Dec 19 Special Board Meeting or have viewed the video of this meeting, you are aware that I have volunteered to be the 2024 SEPO Election Committee chairperson and the Board voted unanimously to appoint me to that position. I have already been working on some of the upfront committee tasks. I have updated the Election Committee Guidebook, thanks to a collaborated effort of both myself and your SEPO Board President, Share Nelson. It is almost ready to present to the entire Board for their approval. I'm also working on a Project Plan of all of the tasks - from the smallest of small to the largest of large - that need to be performed between now and when I turn over the tallied vote count to the Board at the Feb 20 Annual Shareholders Meeting. So the next 'large' task for me to accomplish is to fill seats (so to speak) on the committee. I currently have five volunteers, some of which can only help part-time. I'm looking for 10-15 (and possibly more) people to do a variety of tasks, the largest of them being "Stuffing the Ballot Envelopes" sometime around Jan 14-15 AND "Counting Votes" between the 1 pm and 3 pm meetings on Feb 20. If you think you might be interested at all in helping me out, give me a call to discuss. If I don't get enough volunteers in the next few days, I'm going to start cold-calling. Wouldn't you rather volunteer before hearing me beg on the phone. 😁 Thanks in advance for your consideration of this matter. Happy Holidays !!!

It costs $100 per table per sponsor, but if ten people go in on one street, then we have a new table sponsor!

  • Golf Course PREV

    Golf Course Previous Info 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.

GOLF COURSE IMPROVEMENTS and OTHER INFO OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS 2024-02-03: Golf Course Cart Path - If you see this on the golf course cart path, it’s an indication that you’re 50 yards from the center of the green. The one pictured is on # 4, but we’ll be adding more holes later this week. - Randy Davis: SEPO Board (from Facebook) 2024-02-03: Golf Course Cart Path - If you see this on the golf course cart path, it’s an indication that you’re 50 yards from the center of the green. The one pictured is on # 4, but we’ll be adding more holes later this week. - Randy Davis: SEPO Board (from Facebook) 2023-08-12: Golf Cart Street Crossings - We have added golf cart street crossings on Indiana Circle (from hole 4 to 5) and Michigan (from hole 5 to 6). Street signs have been ordered. - Randy Davis, SEPO Board Golf Course Director 2023-07-19: Sunshine Golf Course Improvement: New Fountain - New water fountain on the number seven pond. Hopefully, this will help with the algae situation. - Randy Davis 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
