The Village Views

News from our sub-association, The Village at the Town Center

Residents of Somersett,

At the time of this writing, you can see slight glimpses of spring in Northern Nevada (finally!). With that, a bevy of projects will come to fruition around The Village.

• A much-needed refresh of our main gated area will take place sometime in the spring. We are very excited to get this project off the ground as the gates are the original ones that were installed almost two decades ago.

• Additionally, we are going to add lots of color and additional foliage to really make the main entrance "pop" as they say.

• We are also working closely with Reliance to replace our aging and outdated irrigation system and to move forward with a village-wide landscaping "refresh." When complete, our landscaping will be more drought tolerant and more modern looking as most of the plants and shrubs were installed when the development was first built.

• And if that wasn't enough to get excited about, we are also in the process of securing a vendor for painting 1/2 of the houses in the development. When complete, our community will hopefully be the talk of Somersett.

Patience and understanding will be the order of the day as this will take some time to complete. We are hoping to have everything wrapped up before the Fall of 2023. Needless to say, exciting times are ahead for residents of The Village.

Adult Clinics

These sessions are for players of all skill levels wanting to further develop their game, learn the game, or simply stay sharp throughout the summer season.

Clinic day example:
