Sun City Anthem at Merrill Ranch Homes with a Golf Cart Garage

Sun City Anthem at Merrill Ranch homes with a golf cart garage are on the 55+ side of Anthem at Merrill Ranch in Florence, where Del Webb shows a cart garage or cart storage on some plans, such as Journey, Refuge and Endeavor. Not every home has one, so match the model to the plan and measure the bay.

Plain talk about that button: it shows active listings in age-restricted Sun City Anthem at Merrill Ranch whose remarks mention a golf cart. It is a keyword search, not a measured feature filter. Some results will have a true cart garage, some will have a deep garage or a garage extension, and some will just mention that a cart is included or that the course is close. Confirm each home with the floor plan, the photos and a tape measure.

Which Del Webb plans show a cart garage

Del Webb's Sun City Anthem at Merrill Ranch community page and its plan pages use slightly different wording for each design. Here is what I found on the current pages:

• Journey (Encore series): the community page describes Journey with "a separate golf cart garage," and the Journey plan page lists 2-car garages with cart storage (per plan).
• Refuge (Retreat series): the community page says Refuge has the ability to add options such as a third bedroom, a second den and a cart garage. The Refuge plan page shows photos captioned "Golf Cart Garage."
• Endeavor (Encore series): the Endeavor plan page says optional garage storage accommodates a golf cart and extra gear.
• Tifton Walk: the community page gallery includes a photo captioned "Golf Cart Garage." No feature list on the page confirms whether it is standard or optional.

On other current plans I checked, such as Haven, Sanctuary and Renown, the plan pages do not list a cart garage. A few quick move-in homes list a 4 foot garage extension instead, which is not the same thing as a separate cart bay. Older resales were built from earlier plan lineups, so the current plan pages will not cover every model. For new construction, ask the Del Webb sales team at (520) 729-2205 what is standard and what is an option on the exact home.

When a buyer asks me for a cart garage here, I start with the model name in the listing and compare it with the plan, not with a garage photo. Photos make a deep garage look like a cart bay.

Cart garage, cart storage or garage extension

• Separate cart garage. Its own door and bay, apart from the main garage. This is what Del Webb describes on Journey.
• Cart storage in the garage. Extra space inside the main garage sized for a cart. Del Webb's Endeavor page calls this optional garage storage.
• Garage extension. A deeper 2-car garage, such as the 4 foot extension listed on some quick move-in homes. A cart may fit, but it shares the space with cars.

Golf carts at Poston Butte Golf Club

Poston Butte Golf Club sits inside the community. Troon describes it as an 18-hole daily-fee championship course designed by Gary Panks, and Del Webb's HOA page says the course is managed by Troon Golf. Neither page states a policy on privately owned carts on the course, and the club's own site would not load for me. If you plan to play with your own cart, call the club at 520-723-1680 (the number on the association's contacts page) and ask about private cart rules and any trail fee before you buy.

Association rules and the streets

The Sun City Anthem at Merrill Ranch Community Association site lists its governing documents in a document center, including the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions and Residential Design Guidelines effective January 1, 2026. I did not find a separate golf cart document there. For rules on cart parking, driveways and any change to a garage or cart door, read the CC&Rs and design guidelines and ask the association. The association's contacts page lists AAM, LLC at 602-957-9191 and the Union Center front desk at 520-723-6600.

Del Webb's HOA page says the roadways and sidewalks in the community are property of the Town of Florence. That matters for carts, because it means the streets are public roads, not private association drives. I did not find a published Town of Florence page on golf cart use, so ask the Town before you assume a cart can go anywhere on the street.

Arizona golf cart law, in general terms

A.R.S. 28-101 defines a golf cart as a motor vehicle with at least three wheels on the ground, an unladen weight under 1,800 pounds, designed for and operated at not more than 25 miles per hour, and designed to carry not more than four people including the driver. The same section separately defines a neighborhood electric vehicle as an emission-free electric vehicle with at least four wheels that meets the federal low-speed vehicle standards.

A.R.S. 28-966 is about neighborhood electric vehicles, not ordinary golf carts. It caps them at 25 miles per hour, bars them from highways posted above 35 miles per hour (crossing at an intersection is allowed) and requires the operating limits to be shown on the vehicle. For more on which carts can go on public roads, see my guide to street-legal golf carts in Arizona. This is a general summary, not legal advice; check registration, insurance and license questions with the MVD.

What to check before you buy

• The model name. Match it to the Del Webb plan, then confirm the cart bay is actually there and was not converted to storage or a workshop.
• Bay size. Measure length, width and door height, and compare them with your cart, including the roof and any windshield.
• Power. Look for an outlet in the bay where you will charge the cart.
• What steals space. Water heaters, softeners, shelves and freezers can cut usable length.
• Documents. Read the CC&Rs and design guidelines for parking and exterior change rules.
• Golf. Ask Poston Butte Golf Club about private cart use if you plan to bring your own.
