The kitchen will be open as usual this week, but the dining room will be closed while we install a new wood floor. The lounge will be open for dinner. Please bear with us as we strive to improve our facilities and make Lake Ridge an even better experience. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
The March Madness Membership Drive was a huge success. We picked up 13 new memberships. I would like to welcome all the new members to the Lake Ridge family. We look forward to making new friends and many more special memories with our new members. Again thanks for giving us this opportunity to grow our membership base and I can assure you we will do our absolute best to take care of you and make your Lake Ridge experience a memorable one.
As some of you are already aware, we recently got new fleet of golf carts. Since we lease the carts, usually for 4 or 5 year period, please drive carefully so we can keep them in tip top shape for their lease period. As is always the case, please keep golf carts at least 30 feet away from the greens and tee boxes. If you have any issues with a cart, please notify the pro shop. You must have a learners permit or driver’s license to drive a golf cart.
