Offering the best possible customer service is critically important to us here at Silver Willow. To that end, starting as early as 2017 we will begin limiting the number of memberships sold and a "wait list" will be created once that maximum is reached. Access to Silver Willow will then only to be available to members and their guests. Ensuring quality service, booking availability and ultimate safety are among our top reasons for this change. An application process will begin in March for new memberships. 


*** Members are asked to fill out the new Recurring Payment Authorization Form before February 15, 2017.

Going forward all memberships will renew automatically on March 1 each year.
