Woodmont
was originally used as a summer retreat and was composed
of cabins and camping spots. The Club was incorporated
in 1915 and the beach property was deeded to the community
at that time. The stated purpose of the Club was "to
promote friendly relations and develop open air sports
and aquatic sports and aquatic exercises among its
members." It was also established to adopt and
formulate sanitary regulations for the area, which
resulted in two water districts being formed. The
watershed areas were above 10th Ave. and about 270th
(still visible today) and the other was near Marine
View Drive and 10th. The terms "Upper Woodmont"
and "Lower Woodmont" are still used today
and stem from those water district designations. Today,
"lower" refers to the area south of Woodmont
Beach Road to 272nd, while "upper" is the
area between Woodmont Beach Road and 264th. There
are about 150 households in the membership area.
Club
membership entitles you to use the Club facilities,
which include the plaza, tennis court and playground,
and a half-mile of salt water beach and trails. We
hope you will join us in several social events each
year including the Father's Day breakfast, Corky's
Kid's Parade, several summer potlucks, and a Christmas
Event. Additionally we have annual clean-up days in
the spring and fall, and a community yard sale in
the summer.
We
have two official Club meetings during the year, one
in March and the other in May. Please plan on attending.
The dates and locations will be noted in the newsletters
and on our website. We discuss Club business and budgets,
elect officers, and talk about any general community
issues important to all of us. This is an excellent
opportunity to meet your neighbors and stay on top
of issues.
Please
remember that this is YOUR Club and community. The
more you are involved, the more you will enjoy both.
We rely completely on volunteer help to make this
work - please consider volunteering for our areas
of need.

Woodmont Country Club has this comprehensive website
