Thinking About Living in Cottonwood Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Cottonwood Country Club and the surrounding Sun Lakes / Chandler South golf market.
Cottonwood Country Club is one of two golf courses (with Palo Verde) governed by Sun Lakes HOA #2, the Cottonwood Palo Verde association, inside the larger Sun Lakes 55+ master-planned community south of Chandler. Cottonwood itself is the non-gated of the two neighborhoods sharing this association; Palo Verde, its paired community, is gated.
Golf & Course
Cottonwood's course is described as a 'challenging but fair and well manicured' par-72 championship-style layout, distinct from Palo Verde's shorter executive companion course under the same association.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
The association's own language is unambiguous: both courses are private facilities it owns and operates, and play is restricted to members and guests only — neither is open to the general public. Homeowners then choose between an annual golf membership or a per-round daily fee; both options are homeowner-restricted, so there is no route to access for a non-resident who is not a homeowner's guest.

Costs & Fees
Figures below are labeled Current only when the source itself frames them as presently accurate. Everything else is labeled Historical — a source checked today does not make an old fee a current one.
Annual dues
Historical$90
This is the men's golf ASSOCIATION (league/handicap-service) dues figure ($90 renewing / $95 new; ladies' association $75), not a course-access membership fee — the club's own site describes homeowners as separately 'choosing between purchasing an annual golf membership or playing on a daily fee basis' for actual course access, and the price of that annual membership itself was not found published. Effective date/year not stated on the source page; do not treat as current 2026 pricing without confirming with the club.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm current annual golf-membership price (vs. daily-fee pricing) directly with the club — not published on the public site.
- Confirm whether Cottonwood homeowners can also play Palo Verde's course under the shared association (documented in the paired relationship below at medium confidence).
Notable
- Cottonwood and Palo Verde share a single HOA (Sun Lakes HOA #2, 'Cottonwood Palo Verde') that owns and operates both golf courses.
- Cottonwood is not gated, while its paired community Palo Verde is gated — a distinction worth confirming with a buyer's specific street.
