The club's legacy extends beyond golf, featuring four plexi-cushion hard courts and two Har-tru clay tennis courts under the direction of PTR-certified professionals. Our aquatic facilities include a Junior Olympic-sized pool, toddler pool, and home of the league-champion Wahoos Swim Team. The Members Grill & Lounge offers a full-service dining experience with banquet facilities overlooking the course.
