IDCC Condition Update and Status

By -
Generally speaking, all of the club's facilities "dodged a bullet" when Irma turned westward and made landfall in the Keys and near Naples instead of in our area of Island Dunes. We did however sustain significant damage with broken trees and debris on all holes, in and around the club entrance, parking lot, tennis courts, pro shop and bridges. 
A number of the older and larger broken trees will have to be removed by professionals after being on IDCC property for decades. At this point we expect the tennis hard courts to be open Monday September 25, two soft courts open on Wednesday September 27 and the remainder as soon as we can get more material delivered and installed. 
The golf course will reopen on or around Tuesday October 3rd so that cleanup can be concluded and we may finish the replacement project for the bridge between the 4th and 5th holes. That work was underway when the storm hit and caused a delay of at least two weeks or more.
A special "shout out" needs to go to Conray our Tennis Pro, Rick our Golf Superintendant and the entire IDCC staff for doing a great job cleaning up. The pictures below tell the story...

Some of the suggested improvements include: Painting over the tennis court lines so they're not confused with pickleball court lines during play Painting the entire pickleball court a noticeably different color to make the court dimensions easier to see  Move the location of the pickleball court nets so balls wouldn't require running all the way back to the tennis court fences for retrieval (which happens very often during regular play) Expand pickleball court capacity so more players could play at the same time and rotate players around  All of these suggestions have been considered and resulted in the following court improvements, reviewed and approved by the IDCC Board and Club Management with special
