Home Ownership vs. Club Membership Disclosure

Grayhawk Golf Club is a premier public daily-fee facility. Homeowners enjoy priority booking access and seasonal resident card privileges, but do not purchase private club equity.

Fiduciary Truth in Advertising: Real estate purchase contracts do not bind private golf clubs to admit buyers or guarantee membership availability. Always inspect the club's current bylaws, waiting list procedures, and initiation fee schedule independently.
