    New Court Booking System

    courtreserve-log_20230112-211330_1

    Attention all Tennis and Pickleball Players – We are transitioning to the new booking system on January 15th

    The current booking system will be discontinued at the end of the day on Saturday January 14th. You will continue to use it for your ‘5 day’ out bookings until the 14th. On the 15th you will switch to Court Reserve. All the future bookings you have made in the current system will be automatically moved to Court Reserve.

    You should have already received a welcome email from Court Reserve with your new login information. Log in and check your personal information to insure everything is correct. Some phone numbers didn’t transfer over so please add yours if necessary. It is best to provide a cell phone number as the system has the ability to send text messages. If there are multiple accounts within a household we have set you up as a ‘Family’ group. This will allow you to make bookings, changes or event signups for your partner/spouse/child.

    If you do not receive a welcome email please email Karen Brown or follow this link and click on the ‘Create Account’ button and fill in the form.

    Three training sessions will be provided if you need help with the transition. They will be held at the clubhouse at 11:30 am on Saturday January 14th, Sunday January 15th and Monday January 16th.

    The Court Reserve app can be downloaded from the Apple and Google app stores. To watch an instructional video on how to use the app or the online version of Court Reserve, use the following links: (Note: the demo screens look different than ours but the basic functions are the same, also we don’t use the payment system mention so ignore that info)

    Pool Heating Changes

    pool-reno

    The gas company that supplies us with our natural gas is raising its prices by as much as 100%. Your current bill may be double the cost of last month‘s bill. Because of this we are going to need to reduce most pool temperatures. Last month‘s bill for gas to heat the pools was around $20,000.

    We will keep pools 5, 7 10 and 13 at the current setting of 86 degrees. The other pools will be reduced to 78 degrees. This is a temporary measure until the ambient temperature reaches a much warmer level and gas prices stabilize. Further adjustments may need to be made depending on gas prices and our finances.
