Using the golf course for walking, jogging, biking, fishing, swimming, looking for golf balls or any other personal use is not permitted on the Orchard Valley Golf Course. Recently their have been 5 separate instances where people have been removed from the golf course. It is a safety concern and a violation of the OVHA covenants as it can interfere or be a distraction to the golfers.

Two representatives of MetroNet will be attending our OVHA monthly meeting Thursday, April 18th. This may be a chance to learn more about what has been going on within our community.
