Construction Update
If you have been to the club in the recent weeks, you know that there is a lot going on! Pool construction is humming along and weather permitting, the focus will soon shift to the tennis courts. The electrician will temporarily remove some fencing in order to get a boom lift on the courts, so that he can reach each pole. All lights will be repaired or replaced as needed, then adjusted to proper placement on the courts for optimal court lighting. Wiring and circuits will be checked and repaired as needed, including the timer switch. Tennis will be temporarily interrupted at times and we will do our best to communicate that with the membership and close the courts on the reservation website. We appreciate your patience as we work hard to improve your club.
