The Colonies
The Clubhouse is very popular and is frequently used to host community or private functions. The Clubhouse is lavishly decorated during the holidays and attracts many residents. The Clubhouse features a large central room with a fireplace, TV lounge, billiards room, bar and dance area, a cloak room, and a fully equipped kitchen. There are meeting rooms available for small gatherings.
The Clubhouse is available for private functions for a modest fee. Many residents and owners find this to be a great location for social gatherings, or private celebrations, gatherings or entertainment. The veranda overlooks the swimming pool and is next to the gas grills located to the rear of the Clubhouse; this offers residents and their guests a excellent location to enjoy cookouts during the summer months.
Weight Room
We have a small exercise facility in the lower level of the clubhouse. The exercise facility features a variety
of equipment to keep you fit and trim to include a Universal system, bicycle and treadmill. There is a sauna located in both the men's and women's changing rooms.
Par Course
The Colonies has an 18 station Par Course that stretches throughout the grounds. The Par Course begins with a series of warm-up exercises and gradually increases the intensity of the exercise regime. After reaching a peak, it begins a series of less strenuous exercises designed to gradually cool you off. The trail wanders throughout the 29 acres of the Colonies and takes you up and down a series of hills. You'll certain get a good workout if you follow the Par Course
Swimming Pool
We have an Olympic size swimming pool w/ attached children's wading pool open during the warm weather months. Currently the pool is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The hours of operation are 12 PM until 8 PM Monday – Friday and 11 AM – 7 PM on weekends and Holidays.
Tennis Courts
We have two fenced asphalt tennis courts equipped with night lighting to permit individuals who must work late to enjoy a game before retiring for the night. In addition to our tennis courts, there are tennis courts in the Westgate Park that is located along the property line.
The Colonies is situated on 29 acres of rolling hills. The grounds are filled with mature hardwoods, fruit-trees, and evergreens. Virginia's flowering dogwoods and cherry trees are especially beautiful each spring. Flowerbeds are planted with a wide variety of annual and perennial flowers so we enjoy colorful blooms throughout much of the growing season. Azaleas and other flowering bushes are common throughout the property as well. A sidewalk meanders through the park-like grounds offering residents a chance to stroll throughout the year. There is a beautifully landscaped man-made pond by the Administrative Office which is the background for many wedding photos.
