Member Sections
Eight ways to find your people
Sections are the small, shared-interest groups inside the club. They bring together members who golf, cook, knit or write. These groups meet in each other’s homes, on the course and around town, and they’re where most friendships here actually start.
How sections work
Join one, join four, or just come see
Every member is welcome in every section. Most meet monthly and many rotate through members’ homes.
Some sections are purely social. Others, like Helping Hands, dedicate their time to the club’s charitable work and our two annual fundraisers. You’re welcome to attend a meeting before deciding if a section is right for you.
New members are asked which sections interest them on the membership application. You can also join or switch sections at any time during the year. Just reach out to the section chair.
