Other recent capital expenditures include a newly installed $2.6m irrigation system for the golf course. Inside the Clubhouse are multiple dining outlets and catering facilities that members and their families enjoy. The 1921 Room is the most elegant dining space in the Clubhouse. Two walls of floor-to-ceiling picture windows allow wonderful natural light to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The popular Terrace Patio is a delightful space for al fresco dining and entertaining large or small groups, tented or under the starry sky. The ever-popular fully stocked, four-sided bar is the perfect place to relax with family and friends. The highly popular Kitchen Pizza oven is another unique feature of the Transit Valley dining experience.
