This may be the last of the breed. A true COMMUNITY CLUB!…read more
Member supported, and old school as heck!
Membership is truely open to all, whether you live nearby or not, and dues are affordable ($50 family, more or less for individuals at various levels).
It just really needs more people involved. Like, NOW!
They host line dancing lessons a couple times per week, and (rarely), other social evnets that are open to the public.
Mostly, it's just a large green space and rental hall, these days.
I've been to a couple weddings here and a company picnic, and it's really a VERY nice set up. The ballroom has a large dance floor, a stage, small bar, and plenty of room for tables, then there's another "meeting" room with a long bar and more space, either for a buffet, or seperate event. They have a patio and pavilion right outside, plus a baseball diamond.
As I understand it, rental rates are VERY competitive, and while it's far from glam, it's fairly well maintained and easy to decorate to your liking. The large patio, covered picnic area, and playground gives it major points above the typical rental hall, in my opinion.
Unfortunately, they need new membership and more revenue BAD, or it could be taken over for suburban development. It holds 5 acres of BEAUTIFUL land in a convenient, yet quiet location ( that the City of Plymouth would make more money off of as condos or something), and since it's heyday in the 70s and 80s, the more motivated and social membership seems to have died out, leaving it vacant far more often than it needs to be.
They are passively looking for groups interested in coming in to have events there such as ZUMBA, Scrapbooking, classes, etc.. I would love to see it utilized much more than it is (for public AND private events), but it's truely a hidden gem....probably too hidden to survive, sadly.

(The bartender picture on the homepage is TOTALLY fake. That's not what their bar is like at all. Haha!)
If you're looking for a rental hall or venue and can handle the 'burbs (it's actually very close to Hwy 55, and not far from 3 other major highways) I'd definitely suggest checking it out.
