It's time to move some dirt.

I’ve said “we’re almost there” approximately 4,000 times. The planning, development and approval process has felt like roughly 847 years.

Today we get to say something different.

Development approvals are complete, and Gulf Beach Racquet Club is moving into the construction phase.

This page is where we’ll document all of it. Dirt work, court construction, the Har-Tru going down, lighting, the clubhouse, landscaping and every milestone in between. Photos, videos, the good days and the rain delays.

One rule for this page: if it happened, it’s here. If it hasn’t happened yet, it isn’t.

No opening date yet. I’ve learned my lesson about predictions. When it’s real, you’ll hear it here first. Until then, get on the list and we’ll keep you posted.
