Active People
Several organizations strengthen Pebble Creek's golf, tennis and swimming
endeavors.
Golden Boys
The Golden Boys organization is a group of senior members of Pebble Creek who participate in special weekly tournaments, interclub tournaments and social activities. You must be 55 years or older and a member in good standing in the club. The Golden Boys play every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with a different format each day. The Golden Boys have their Member/Guest every spring, and their Club Championship late summer. The Golden Boys have their own website at www.goldenboysgolf.com. Check them out.
