Golf Course Overseed Closures & Restaurant Hours

Mark your calendars! Beginning in October, overseed will begin. During the golf course closures, the restaurants will be observing altered hours of operation, as follows:

  • Monday-Friday: 3:00pm-9:00pm
  • Saturday-Sunday: 10:00am-9:00pm

New Golf Scorecards

It was determined that several of the holes needed to be re-handicapped after analyzing the data and reviewing the variances in scores for each hole. Once the correct handicaps were determined, the next step was to make sure that the changes could be viewed on an updated scorecard. Having a versatile scorecard will give our members and guests more options for tees while allowing them to enjoy the course at a yardage that fits their game.

We hope you enjoy the new scorecards and try out the combo tees!

Community Services Reminders | Winter Grass

The Landscape team is dropping seed along the walking path between Desert Lake Dr and west to Lakewood Dr. Watering the seed to begin the germination process will take approximately 10 days. The water will then be decreased. This watering will be on a daily schedule during the daylight hours. There will be some standing water and possibly some mulch on the sidewalk. This will be kept to a minimum, but please be careful when in these areas, as it may be slippery.

Arizona Humane Society’s Pet of the Week: Buffy

Don't let her size fool you, this girl can move! Buffy is a fun-loving American Pit Bull Terrier mix who loves to run and play. At 5 years old, Buffy still has the energy of a young pup. When she's not tearing up stuffed toys, she can often be found stretching her legs with one of our amazing volunteers. She had a blast splashing around in the doggie pools here at the Arizona Humane Society. She would love to find a home with a loving family who will take her on lots of adventures. Buffy is a curvy gal who weighs about 80 pounds right now. She would benefit from a few extra walks to help her get back to a healthy weight. Come meet her today at the Arizona Humane Society's South Mountain Campus.
