The assessment increase passed. Job one now is for the Board and Staff to quickly work getting the streamlined fee structure and the new assessments into place for a March 1 start.

“We want to thank everyone who helped make this vote happen. Volunteers spent countless hours talking to their neighbors, making phone calls and even posting banners in our community. We appreciate each and every one of them.” ~ Ruth Hatcher, Board Chairperson

With the passing of the assessment increase, if a property owner purchases a $30 Activity Card, they will enjoy unlimited use of our lakes, pools, beach, fitness/recreation facilities, range balls, green fees at Brittany Golf Course and entrance to the gun range without paying a fee. Additionally, property owners will enjoy 10% off their food purchases at BV Bar & Grill and Lakepoint with their Activity Card. Property owners can contact Member Services for more information.

Lasering the Flag Golfers know too well the frustration of “lasering a flag” and hitting the tree or fan in the background! We have added reflective tape to the flagsticks on Dogwood just below the bottom of the flag to help lasers “shoot” the pole and not the background. Golfers may need to retrain their instinct to shoot the top of the pole by aiming a bit lower to hit the tape. If this proves to be helpful we will install them on all POA golf courses.
