LPGA 2023 - Community Update |
|
Hello Superstition Mountain Owners,
The 2023 LPGA Drive On Championship starts next week and I hope you are excited! To be the best hosts possible and to present Superstition Mountain as the premiere east valley Golf Course, the Board, Golf Club and I are asking for your assistance in making sure next week is a safe and fun experience for all.
Below are some details about cart crossings, access to the Golf Course and walking path, and other considerations to keep in mind. We thank you in advance for your assistance.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns and I will try my best to get you a prompt response.

Cart Crossings and Road Safety |
|
Next week the LPGA Championship will have players and spectators crossing the community roads in seven locations. We ask that all drivers be cognizant and slow down as you approach all crossings, but especially those marked below: |

The red markings indicate crossings over Superstition Mountain Drive, while the yellow are on Sycamore Village Drive and Juniper Village Drive.
Drive with caution throughout the community, and be prepared to yield to all golfers and spectators along your route. We will place the SMOA yellow road safety cones near the crossings to enhance the regular road crossings.

Gate Access:
- Your guest and contractor entry process remains the same. Your guests or vendors/contractors will be admitted through the gate in the normal process for the entire tournament week.
- Early mornings are already congested due to construction hours. With LPGA players, media, and more also coming through early, you can assist by having your guests arrive after the morning rush around 8:30 - 9:00 am.
-
Send updates to your guest list to the gate staff via email in advance of their arrival. Any guests arriving who are not on a guest list will prompt a phone call to the owner they are visiting. This process can delay entry for several minutes, AND delay all subsequent vehicles.
- Be patient and slow while entering or exiting the community. The gate staff will be busy handling a huge increase in traffic and may be turning vehicles around, walking in driving lanes to direct traffic, etc.

Golf Course and Cart Paths:
- Please do not utilize the cart paths during hours of play. The Golf Club has asked all owners to assist in this way, but has continued to have incidences with bikers, dog walkers and others utilizing the cart paths in ways that interfere with the Golf operation. You should not be using the cart paths unless you are participating or spectating in line with Club and LPGA protocol.
- Here are a few things to keep in mind generally, but especially next week:
- The Golf Courses are private property.
- The Cart Paths are not to be used for cycling, walking, or any purpose other than golf during the hours of play.
- Hours of play are typically between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm daily.
- You are responsible for your guests, including their knowledge of and adherence to the community rules.
- Agronomy will be out and actively prepping the courses starting at sunrise most mornings.
- Dogs should never be allowed off-leash or onto the Golf Course while utilizing the cart paths.

Projects, Noise, and Home Maintenance:
- Noise will be a particular concern on the Prospector Golf Course, Thursday, March 23 - Sunday, March 26.
- If you live along the Prospector Course, we ask that you please limit any work or projects that may interfere with the tournament.
- Examples may include:
- Any demo work with power tools or heavy equipment,
- Any work that may generate dust or noise, (for instance: tile work that need not run through Design Review, but results in a contractor setting up a saw in the driveway...)
- Routine home maintenance or regular vendors, including landscapers who may use noisy equipment and be unaware of the tournament.
- While the above will be permitted access, your vendors may prefer to skip next week altogether, avoid the traffic and congestion issues, and resume normal operations the week of March 27.

Did you know?
Community Guidelines require that pools be drained into your sewer clean out, and not into common area roadways or washes.
|
|
The above photo shows a pool being drained correctly into the owner's sewer cleanout. This contains the "mess" on the owner's property, and avoids dispersing pool chemicals into the delicate desert environment.
Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for pool vendors to drain a pool through the rear fence and into the wash behind a home - which is typically Golf Course property. This water can stand for some time, especially with recent rains and the ground being saturated.
Please ensure your vendor knows how to properly drain your pool.
