Briarwood Country Club opened in 1983 in Sun City West, originally built as a community center with a golf course attached. The club has since been reworked with an emphasis on golf paired with everyday amenities and relaxed social spaces.
The eighteen-hole layout is framed by tree-lined fairways and features rolling, constantly shifting ground, with shot options that keep the round engaging while still allowing for a reasonably paced day.
Beyond the course, members have access to a practice range, fitness classes, a pool and dining facilities suitable for groups.
