2025 marks a special milestone for Bishops Bay Country Club—our 30th anniversary! For three decades, Bishops Bay has been more than just a club: it’s been a community, a place where both families and friendships have started and blossomed, where memories are made and good food is shared. From sunny rounds on the golf course and rousing matches on the tennis courts, to unforgettable moments at the pool, clubhouse, and beyond, we’ve built a legacy of good times and even better company.

To commemorate this incredible journey, we’re planning to share a lot of nostalgia and fun with you here on the Happenings Hub throughout the year. This ongoing stroll down memory lane will include old photos, fun facts about the club’s history, features on some of the people and amenities that make this place so special, and stories that showcase how Bishops Bay has grown from a simple vision back in the 1980s and 90s into the vibrant community it is today.

But that’s not all! We’re also thrilled to announce a celebratory event later this summer on August 9th—a time for members to come together and toast not only to 30 years of unforgettable moments, but to the many years we have ahead of us. Details will be shared in the coming weeks, but mark your calendars and be sure to stay tuned for updates.

As we reflect on the last 30 years, we want to thank you—our members—for being the reason this incredible journey happened in the first place. Your passion, enthusiasm, and love for Bishops Bay have shaped this Club into the extraordinary place we now know it to be.

Here’s to honoring our history, celebrating the present, and looking forward to the future.

A 30 year legacy, measured by countless memories.
