Sunbird Golf Resort

What Sunbird Golf Resort's governing documents say

This is a master-planned community with a golf course, governed by a homeowners association. The document is a legal agreement among the golf course owner, the developer, and the homeowners association—not a full set of rules for residents. It defines property boundaries, easements, and shared responsibilities for the golf course and common areas.

• Electric meters & shared utility costs: The document allocates responsibility for specific electric meters between the association and the golf course owner. For example, a meter serving an irrigation timer and aeration pump is paid by the association unless the golf course owner substantially increases usage (more than $20/month). Similar provisions apply to other meters, with options to install separate meters if usage changes.
• Golf course use & public access: The golf course land (including driving range, maintenance area, and cart storage) is not common area of the association. The golf course owner may continue to allow public use and can set terms and conditions. The golf course cannot be rezoned for purposes inconsistent with golf course operation unless reasonable related uses are not disruptive to residents.
• Easements for ingress, egress, parking, and cart storage: The golf course owner and its guests have a non-exclusive, free easement to use association roads and parking areas. Similarly, association members have a non-exclusive, free easement to use the golf course owner's parking areas. Existing golf cart storage and staging areas continue to be used by the golf course owner.
• Easements for golf course traffic across association land: A specific easement (Exhibit E) grants the golf course owner and its guests the right to use parts of the association's common area for golf cart traffic between portions of the golf course.
• Easement for association dumpsters on golf course land: The association has an easement to maintain dumpsters (with enclosures) at two specific locations on golf course land (near Lot 187 on Augusta Drive and between Lots 162 and 277 on Cypress Point Drive). The association must maintain them and indemnify the golf course owner.
• Realtor transactions: Before the association allows a third party to operate a real estate brokerage or property management office on resort property, or enters into an agreement that urges owners to use a particular realtor, the developer (SBG or its affiliate) has a right of first refusal to match any third-party offer, with 30 days to decide.
• Cable TV easements: The developer and its cable affiliate retain easements over and under common areas for existing and future cable television lines, including digital, internet, and other services. They have reasonable access to maintain, repair, and upgrade facilities.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association is responsible for maintaining common areas (including association land and leased land) and streets/roads. The golf course owner maintains the golf course land. Neither party has to maintain the other's property, except for damage they cause.
