Club amenities include an 18-hole Arthur Hill designed golf course, driving range, short-game area, putting green and four Har-Tru tennis courts. Construction is currently underway on a new two-story, 26,000-square-foot clubhouse. There also is the private Frank Park featuring a regulation size croquet lawn, four bocce courts and a dog park.
