A portion of the Del Sol Clubhouse has opened for drop-in billiards play. The space is open from 6am-6pm seven days a week. There are three tables set up along with all the necessary equipment.

At member request, in the next week or two, darts will be offered, with foosball to follow (foosball ETA is dependent upon supply and shipping).
