Perks include:
  • Friendly competition
  • Courtside socializing with new friends you meet
  • Fresh air, friendly rivalries, and bragging rights that last all season.
  • Zero running. Seriously. Not even a brisk walk.
So, polish your cues, stretch your gliding arm, and join us for the most luxurious low-impact sport since competitive napping.

Join Our Community Christmas Carol Stroll Under the Palms!
 
Forget the snow and the high-maintenance holiday planning, it's time for sunny skies and holiday songs! Get ready to deck your site, warm up your vocal cords, and put on your favorite festive gear, because our Community Christmas Caroling Night is almost here, promising an evening of community cheer, festive music, and a taste of Florida-season sweetness!
 
When: Sunday, December 14th
Time: 6:30 PM
Where: Meet at the Clubhouse
 
Sing, Stroll the Lanes, and Sip!
 
The night will kick off at 6:30 PM at the Clubhouse. Gather your neighbors, put on your festive attire, and let's spread some holiday happiness while enjoying that perfect Florida winter evening!
 
  1. The Resort Carol Walk (6:30 PM - 7:30 PM): We'll embark on a cheerful, hour-long walk along our community's lanes, stopping along the way to serenade fellow residents with beloved holiday classics. Our very own Dave Scott will be strolling right alongside us, providing musical accompaniment to keep the carols lively! This is a great chance to see the resort's decorations and spread some vocal cheer!
  2. The Clubhouse Chill & Cheer (7:30 PM Onward): After our musical stroll, we’ll return to the Clubhouse for the main event: a festive spread of hot chocolate, cookies, and holiday camaraderie! We'll have plenty of cold refreshments available too, perfect for a
    Florida December night.
  3. A Musical Encore: Can't make the walk? Not a problem! Once the caroling crew returns at 7:30 PM, the festivities continue. Dave Scott will be playing extra holiday tunes and requests at the Clubhouse, ensuring everyone can enjoy the spirit of the season with
    comfort and ease.
Pro Tip: Dress comfortably for walking, wear something festive, and maybe bring a small flashlight or your phone to help read the carol sheets.
 
Mark your calendars and prepare to make some beautiful noise! We can't wait to see you there for what promises to be an evening of pure community magic.
