While work is being done, there is no power to the pump.  This means the fountain and sprinklers are inoperable during this time.  Thank you for your patience.

If you didn’t read this week’s Golf and Fitness Newsletter, it is available now.

Per our Rules and Regulations and Arizona state vehicle laws, only licensed drivers are permitted to operate a motorized vehicle, including golf carts. Children are NOT allowed to sit in the driver’s lap while cart is in operation. 

Sand should be placed in the divot and be leveled at the surface so the turf can grow back evenly. When the hole is not filled in correctly, the turf grows back unevenly and causes inconsistent areas of play and unhealthy turf from the uneven cuts with the mower. Please help the team by keeping sand bottles on your cart and filling those divots when you see them. Private carts need to have sand bottles as well.

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.

Progress continues!  This week, electrical was started and we anticipate the fire suppression shortly.

Due to work being done on Riggs Road involving the sewer, lift stations, etc., the Amberwood Gate will be completely closed to entering and exiting traffic from the community during these times. Please plan to use one of the other exits.

John visits the Pickleball courts as the Pickleball Barrel Classic wraps up with Abigail Faires. They discuss some of the fun events and chat about the overwhelming success of the Pickleball event.

Watch it now!

In May, work will be taking place causing these areas to be closed.  More details and timing will be coming soon.

Meet The High Evolutionary, a 4-year-old neutered male, chocolate point Ragdoll mix. This sweet boy was found as a stray with a left entropion eye, matting in his fur, and some chipped teeth. Surgery was performed to correct his entropion eye and fix his teeth, but he will need a home that will be able to cover any possible medical bills in the future. Despite his rough beginnings, The High Evolutionary is a very playful and cuddly feline who’s on the hunt for a purr-fect companion to share cuddles and adventures.

If you’re ready for a lifetime of cuddles and companionship with this charming kitty, come down to our new Papago Park Campus to meet him, or visit the website to view all other kitties!
