In the case of consistent inclement weather, the manager will make the decision to close the pool for 2-hour increments to accommodate the ever-changing weather patterns. If the weather improves, then the pool will reopen. Pool closing and/or opening times will be placed on the Golf Hut window, concierge desk and Facebook.
Rain passes will be issued in the case of inclement weather if the guest signed in less than one hour prior to closing time. The check-in attendant on duty will issue the rain pass to applicable guests. No cash refunds will be given.
Air quality: Management reserves the right to close the pools at any time due to poor air quality. If the air quality index reaches 170 or higher, the pools will be closed due to the health and safety of residents and staff.

Rules & Regulations Tip
Quality landscaping is important to the appearance of each individual home and the overall continuity of the Somersett community. Well designed and maintained landscaping preserves and enhances your home’s property value. Homeowners are responsible for all aspects of their landscaping, including the street parkway strip. With the exception of like-for-like changes (replacing a tree or shrub with the same species, repainting an existing color, repairs, etc.), all exterior modifications must be approved by the Aesthetic Guidelines Committee (AGC). If you are interested in making changes to your property and have questions about the review process or what needs to be approved, please contact the Aesthetics Coordinator, or 787-4500, ext. 310.
