Worth knowing
$50 million of capital projects planned
Canoe Brook's 2026 general manager search discloses roughly $50M of capital work planned over ten years: a pool expansion, a new tennis and pickleball facility, and a South Course renovation. Clubs fund work at that scale through dues increases and special assessments. Ask what the funding plan is before you apply.
