I attended a realtor function last Thursday, at The Oaks…my former club. They have now closed the Heron Course and are underway with an ambitious 15 month renovation.

The gist of the article is that these newer private clubs are all on the mend. Having struggled through the recession, these high end clubs are signing up new members at an…
