Community Safety Reminder

We have observed increased issues with bicycles, e-bikes, and dirt bikes being used inappropriately on roadways, the golf course, landscaped areas, and berms. Damage has also been caused by unauthorized dirt bike tracks. These activities are strictly prohibited, and violators will be held responsible for damages. The Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) is assisting with trespass enforcement for non-residents.

Bicycles & E-Bikes

Park bicycles under the porte-cochere, not near club entryways. Do not ride bicycles or e-bikes in the middle of traffic or on sidewalks. Mopeds and dirt bikes (electric or gas) are not allowed in PGCC.

Electric bikes exceeding 28 mph or lacking operable pedals are considered mopeds, dirt bikes, or motorcycles, which are prohibited.

Golf Carts

Drivers must have a valid learner’s permit or driver’s license.

Your cooperation with these guidelines is greatly appreciated and contributes to a safe, festive environment for all members.

November Fines - 70 Open Violations, 80 Closed Violations

Agronomy

Dear Members,

Happy December! As we enter the holiday season, we’re excited to share updates from around the club and community

Landscaping

Our latest annual flower rotation has been successful with a wide variety of colors on display for the winter season. Our annual flower total has now increased to just over 17,000 flowers around the community and clubhouse grounds.

The Sports Club Piazza landscaping has received a refresh improving the overall aesthetics of what is the central hub for many member events. New planters with a beautiful display of colors and textures will be installed around the fountain in the upcoming weeks completing the transformation.

The landscape enhancement projects to the community entrances are underway. Work will continue over the next couple of weeks with an anticipated completion date of Friday December 13. Plant material identified for this project compliments what is currently present in the community while providing a modern Tuscan look.

Examples of plants installed include:

Dazzle Arbicola

Radamachere (Dwarf Jasmine Tree)

Variegated Liriope

Tibouchina Trees

Loripedilum

Rojo Congo Philodendron

Dwarf Oleander

Golf Course Maintenance

With the winter months upon us, the Agronomy Team would like to remind everyone of the importance of golf course etiquette. Mild temperatures and a reduction of hours of sunlight slow Bermudagrass recovery. Fixing ball marks, filling divots with green sand, and adhering to the black and white stakes when entering/exiting holes assists in ensuring a quality playing experience for all golfers.

The Agronomy Team would like to extend a Happy Holiday Season to all Residents & Members!

Dear Members,

November was a fantastic month! From golf tournaments to Ladies’ Night Out, Guys’ Night Out, Latin Night, and Thanksgiving, it was wonderful to see so many of you enjoying the club with your families.

With the holidays here, we’re looking forward to celebrating the season with you at our December events.

See you around the Club!

Dear Members,

What an incredible November we had at PGCC! The energy was unmatched, and the sense of community was stronger than ever. From the excitement of the President’s Cup to our flagship tournaments Ladies Member-Member “Queens of the Greens” and Men’s Member-Member “The Gridiron” to the Steak Open and everything in between, each event brought new opportunities to connect, compete, and celebrate.

It was a month full of unforgettable moments and shared successes that truly showcase what makes PGCC so special. Let’s carry this momentum into December as we gear up for the PGCC Stroke Play Championship on December 7-8. We can’t wait to see you out on the course!

Congratulations to Michal Bander for his incredible Hole-in-One on #2 during the Men’s Member-Member Championship!
