Did you know why the tunnel closed underneath Riggs Rd. for access between Cottonwood and Oakwood?

When Robson started building in Oakwood, they built the tunnel for easy access from Cottonwood to the Oakwood Golf Course. At that time, one membership allowed golfers to use all the courses in Sun Lakes. Robson offered the tunnel to Cottonwood and IronOaks, but we rejected the option due to safety hazards and potential complications regarding maintenance and operation of Riggs Rd. The tunnel belongs to Cottonwood/Palo Verde, and they elected to close it for liability reasons after determining they made a mistake in accepting responsibility for the tunnel.

Need cards? Stock up on some Thank You and Thinking of You cards. There will be a large selection of beautiful greeting cards for Easter, too. All cards are just $1, and all proceeds are donated to My Sister's Place, a domestic violence crisis center for women and their children. To date, $83,000 has been donated thanks to your continued support of The Crystal Card Project.

Work will begin on this project (RBA24-005) starting Monday, March 11th.  The work will take an estimated two weeks to complete.  Residents in the area will notice increased traffic in the area from the workers, and some noise.  Thank you for your patience while this important work gets underway.

Per IronOaks Rules and Regulations, the golf courses are for the sole purpose of golf. This means walking, jogging, biking, dog walking and play is not allowed. Click here to find out more.

Dogs are not allowed on the premises. Only service animals for the visually impaired and epilepsy-alert dogs are permitted. Emotional support dogs are NOT recognized by the ADA as service animals, and therefore are not allowed in Grill on the Green or Stone & Barrel.

Plan to attend one of the upcoming Town Halls to learn about the gate system. This improved software will put the power in your hands to control access to the community for your family, friends, and service workers. Learn about the phased-in installation and more! The Town Halls will be held:

The Lakes Course will be closing this summer for the anticipated main line and turf reduction work per RBA23-054. Closure is slated for May 6th through overseed. Course will reopen November 7th. Notices will be posted in the Golf Shops, on the course, and in the starter area - more details to come soon.

Call the Oakwood Golf Shop at 480.895.1159 to set your appointment to be fitted for the latest in golf technology.  

The fence line area started with 325 trees that the neighbors wanted to keep, per a community survey. As part of the landscaping project on the fence line, Intel removed 177 trees, installed a new irrigation system, and continues to plant 300+ trees. The landscaping is projected to be completed in summer 2024.

Intel will not be removing any trees through at least June due to federally protected bald eagles which have taken up residence in the area. As these are a protected species, Intel is carefully monitoring the eagles and taking precautions to respect their boundaries. Intel asks that people do not approach the birds or the nest on the fence line. If you have questions about the birds, contact Liberty Wildlife Rescue or the Arizona Game and Fish Department.   

Intel continues to conduct maintenance of the irrigation system and monitoring of the landscaping.

No Java this week, but look for another great recording next week!
