Clubhouse Parking
Most GPS systems will direct you to the wrong parking lot, leading to unnecessary parking fees.
Instead, go down Third St. Do not take the first left that says "parking," but instead take the one for Basin St. and drive to the end.
You may park in the Thirds St. lot, or if it's full, continue to street parking.
We look forward to seeing you there! Thank you!
