What Is The Price Range For Events?
We recommend you contact our Clubhouse Manager for rental fees. Different fees are available during the week and the weekend, for outdoor rentals and the 2 different rooms inside the clubhouse. There is a minimum of a four (4) hour rental fee, which does not include the cost of food and beverage during the event, or the cost of set up or clean up. There is a $600 security deposit required with the signed contract, which is refundable upon no damage to the clubhouse or outdoor area.
Is Your Clubhouse Wheelchair Accessible?
Yes – there is a wheelchair accessible walkway directly connected to our parking lot, which leads to a level entry into a back door near the garden.
What Is Your Cancellation Policy?
In the event the License Agreement is cancelled by the Licensee, the Rental Deposit will not be returned unless the facility is re-rented for the contract date, in which case all but $100.00 of the Rental Deposit will be returned to the Licensee.
