The membership and staff take great pride in the Club and relish sharing its facilities. A frequent reaction of first-time guests is summed up by one comment,
“I can’t believe how friendly this place is.”
It’s a place where men and women meet in the friendly competition of a round of golf played over lush fairways and immaculate greens; where fathers, mothers, and children work on their tennis skills; where families spend many a hot summer day cooling off at the swimming pool; and where families, friends, and business acquaintances come to enjoy a cool beverage in the Heritage Lounge, a delicious lunch served al fresco on the clubhouse porch, Chefs dinner in the Grill Room, or a wedding reception in the Main Dining Room. In short, it’s a place where old friends meet and new friends are made.
