Annually, the club holds a Christmas Banquet to bring together members and guests, to share in the joy and happiness of the season.
This years attendance reached an all time high. It was a great opportunity for members to reflect on a very successful year while looking forward to building on our accomplishments in the coming year.
League and Tournament Results
Many of our members participate in tournaments and leagues throughout the season. These events would not happen without the many people that support the activities by opening and closing the greens, provide hospitality services, helping with equipment, umpiring, keeping score and maintaining the greens. Our members really are amazing when it comes to volunteering!
