Please no telephone calls, videos or other audible noises inside the clubhouse or outdoor spaces, especially on the dining deck.
Silent cell phone usage, such as texting or sharing photographs is allowed as long as it is discrete and minimal.
Cell phone conversations on Club property are permitted in the open air outside and away from the buildings and entertainment areas.
