Fall Founder Visit

The First Loop

Join us this Fall for a Founder Visit

On Thursday, October 29, Founders and select guests are invited to join us for The First Loop at Old Shores. 

Together, we will walk and play the first five holes of the Tom Doak course for the very first time.

After golf, we will gather near the first green for drinks and a casual cookout as the sun goes down with fellow Founders, guests, and members of the Old Shores and Sandborn team. 

Each Founder is Permitted 1 Guest

  • No tee times. Arrive anytime between 2 and 4 p.m., grab your clubs, and head to the first tee to play the five-hole loop.

Event Notes

  • Founders are permitted one guest each. Bring a spouse, family member, or a friend who has genuine interest in joining the Founder community. 

  • Golf clubs. Golf will be walking only, and players will carry their own bags. We encourage you to lighten the load, bring fewer clubs, leave behind anything you don't need, and enjoy the walk. Casual seating will be available, but attendees are encouraged to bring their own blanket or lawn chairs.

  • Casual golf attire. Pants and closed-toed shoes suitable for sand, native areas, and uneven terrain are recommended. 

  • We will provide water, non-alcoholic beverages, and light snacks during golf. Beer and wine will be available with the catered on-site meal. 

    Please note: no alcohol is permitted before the 5 p.m. reception

    Old Shores is still under construction. Expect dirt roads, sand, uneven ground, and a simple setup. We wouldn't have it any other way for the first one. 

  • Carpooling is strongly encouraged. Limited parking is available just inside the gate for vehicles that are unable to drive the 1+ mile of dirt road required to access the first golf hole.

Why This Visit Matters

From the beginning, Founders have been here while Old Shores takes shape. Walking the land, following the routing, watching the first holes come to life. The First Loop is the next milestone in that story.

There will only be one group that can say they struck the first tee shots at Old Shores.

We look forward to having you with us.
