One of the most energizing events of the year in Ocean Hills Country Club happens right after the holidays, as a new year begins.
It’s called Do Dues Day, and if you want to understand just how vibrant and wide-ranging life inside the gates can be, this is the day that shows it best.
What Is Do Dues Day?
Do Dues Day is when every club and interest group in the community sets up a table — staffed by volunteers who are genuinely excited to share what they do.
Residents wander through, ask questions, meet people, and sign up for clubs right on the spot. The energy is high, the conversations are lively, and there’s a real sense of possibility in the air.
It’s fun. It’s social. And it gives you a snapshot of just how much is happening here.
A Window Into the Variety of Life Inside the Gates
One of the most surprising things for newcomers is the sheer range of activities represented at Do Dues Day.
From sports and fitness — like pickleball, golf, swimming, and bocce — to creative, social, educational, and special-interest groups, there’s truly something for just about everyone.
Most clubs cost $5–$15 for the year, and membership typically includes:
- email updates and communications
- access to regular meetups, clinics, or drop-in play
- special events like dinners, tournaments, performances, or outings
Some people join one or two groups. Others dive in more deeply joining dozens. There’s no expectation — just opportunity.
Why the Beginning of the Year Matters
While you can join clubs at any time, the beginning of the year is a special moment.
It’s when:
- new schedules and events are rolling out
- clubs are welcoming new members
- and residents are feeling open to trying something new
Do Dues Day makes it easy to explore — without commitment or pressure — and to get a sense of how engaged and invested the community is in creating connection.
More Than Activities — It’s About Belonging
What Do Dues Day really highlights isn’t just the number of clubs.
It’s the people behind them — neighbors who care enough to volunteer, organize, welcome, and keep things going year after year.
If you’re new, curious, or simply looking for a fresh way to engage, Do Dues Day is a wonderful place to start — and a reminder that community here isn’t something you have to figure out on your own.
It’s already waiting for you!
