Country Club Homes

April 13, 2012 By

Ocean Hills Country Club homes offer virtually everything you could want for your active leisure activities right on the premises. There’s an 18-hole executive golf course, a practice putting green, lighted tennis courts, pickel ball court, shuffle board, bocci ball, and an Olympic size swimming pool.  There is also a great spa for relaxing and unwinding.

There is a 27,000 square foot club house facility that has a fully equipped Nautilus exercise room and a fully stocked library.  Don’t see a book you like, just ask and they probably will order it. You’ll enjoy a large auditorium for special events, performances, celebrations and holidays.  The autorium can also be used for foreign films and other movies. 

In Ocean Hills for socializing, there are studios and clubs that let you enjoy cards, computers, billiards, dancing, and music…just to name a few.  The computer club impresses me in that it offers both Apple and PC equipment, all with great displays.  Practically anything and everything else you can think of for relaxation and fun is within reach.  On the premises there is also a fully equipped wood shop for your wood working hobbies.  All this to enjoy with your neighbors and friends.
