We drove into the parking lot and immediately noticed the scuttlebut of activity.  Cars filled the lot and people were moving about.  kids in tennis gear, swim suits with towels on shoulders, golfers in  personalized custom carts.  Rotarians were arriving for their lunch meeting.  Needless to say,  the Crow Canyon Country Club is a very popular place. 

We entered theough the heaviest doors I have ever opened.  We were later told by our host,  Jennifer Bailey, that the doors are recognized  throughout the valley.

Jennifer welcomed us and spent some time explaining the club.  We then took a walk about and saw first hand the club just as she described.

The Pool  -  was filled with the sound of energetic kids practicing for the weekend meet. Parents, coaches and staff eagerly participating.

The tennis courts - were in use and  seniors, women and children were sharing the 15 courts with plenty of room to spare. 

We then took a tour of the pro shop,  fitness center, meeting rooms and day care. 

The golf course -  looked spectacular.  Golfers were everywhere.  A combination of slopping fairways, lakes and heavilly bunkered greens showed a promise of a challenging layout. 

Our afternoon culminated in a beautiful lunch overlooking the 10th tee.  My serving of a bleue cheese salad topped with sirloin steak strips was out of this world. 

 We could not leave without thanking our lovely host and Membership Director  Jennifer Bailey.  I was happy say to her that  "This was not my Grandfathers Country Club."  If I ever moved to  the area,  a membership purchase would be my first order of business!
