Administrative News:

As you may have noticed, we are making more improvements to our Club! We are painting the interior of the Clubhouse and beginning a landscape project between the Clubhouse and the cart barn. We are installing an irrigation system among the new grass, shrubbery, and stone paths! In order for us to not only make these improvements, but to continue the day to day up-keep, we depend on you, our members, to pay your monthly dues and charges promptly. From now on, a $20 finance charge will be added to any bill with a balance 30 days or older. Please avoid this additional cost by paying your bill on time. Thank you!
