Hi Cissy, At the current time, there has not been sufficient interest from our members, so we do not have any organized scheduled Pan games on our schedule anymore. However we are always open to re-evaluate our scheduled activities based on member requests, so why not stop in and discuss it with us! Hope to see you soon.

There are two membership options - an annual membership term that begins on December 1st each year and expires on November 30th of the next year, and a monthly membership (month-to-month) option. For the 2018-2019 annual membership term, the one month fee is set at $25.00 per month, and the annual fee is $75.00, but that annual fee is prorated (reduced) depending on the month you join, decreasing by $5.00 each month. So if a person were to join in June, the fee would be $45.00 that would be good for membership until November 30th. Please call our membership desk at 561-558-2100 for more details.

I am not sure. It's best if you call them directly to ask

Absolutely! Casual South Florida attire is certainly welcome. Of course, as in most public places, footwear and shirts (et al.) are required.

A photo is necessary for the membership ID. You could stop by and make the payment and they could then perhaps have the photos taken at their convenience. Call to confirm.
