Becoming a member.

Asked recently why they joined Chikaming, our members gave a wide variety of answers.
“Chikaming has been a big part of my life in Lakeside. I couldn’t imagine not being able to enjoy the club.”
“When I heard this beautiful golf course had no tee times, I couldn’t resist.”
 “My grandfather was one of the founders of the club, my parents were members from the 70s.”
Some joined for golf or tennis, others for the club’s family orientation
or variety of dining options. Whatever your reasons, we welcome the opportunity to talk to you about
membership. For more information, contact Club Business Manager

John Phillips at (269) 469-5141, extension 15, or email at johnphillips@chikamingcc.org.
