Watch Now!

Take a few moments to review this video from April detailing the IronOaks Chelsea Golf Reservation policy. If you reserve a space for a golfer as a part of your group and they don’t show up or their tee time is being reserved in someone else’s name, there are consequences for everyone.

Golf cart parking exists throughout the community. These spaces are indicated with shorter lines in the middle of a parking space, and soon you will notice golf cart parking signs.

If you are parking a golf cart, please follow a staggered parking structure as pictured below:

Tammy is a 16-year-old Domestic Longhaired cat who was adopted from the Arizona Humane Society way back in 2008! Unfortunately, Tammy is back in our care after her owner needed to move and was unable to bring Tammy along with them.

Upon her return to AHS, Tammy was quickly cleared for adoption, pending some grooming to remove a few matts. She may look like a large cat, but under all that hair, Tammy is only about 6 pounds! Her previous owner has said she is a friendly girl who gets along well with both men and women, but she also likes to have some time to herself to relax. Tammy is a senior girl who is hoping to find a calm fur-ever home where she can spend her golden years. If you’re interested in adopting Tammy, click here!
