Construction of the new swimming pool facility began Friday, September 12, 2008. The swimming pool facility was one portion of a three part plan which includes renovations to the 18-hole golf course and the building of two new tennis courts. Tennis court construction began in mid April and is scheduled to be completed by Memorial Day weekend. These member supported projects have given the local economy a boost of over $1.1 million.
