Mobile County has invited our neighborhood to the opening celebration of the new Jerry Pate-designed Cypress Creek Golf Course: ceremony, guided course tours, first shots on the new driving range, and refreshments.
Community ideas
These are things neighbors have suggested. Tap the ones you'd actually show up for. When enough people raise a hand, it stops being an idea and gets a date.
A four-person scramble on the new course once it's fully open. Beginners welcome; teams are mixed so nobody has to be good. Prizes for closest to the pin and best team name.
A fall evening of Gulf oysters, a low-country boil for the non-oyster crowd, string lights and neighbors. If enough households are in, we split the cost and hire a local caterer to shuck.
Two or three local food trucks one evening a month. Bring a chair, meet the people who live on the next street.
One Saturday, every driveway. We advertise it once for the whole neighborhood so shoppers actually show up.
An inflatable screen, a family-friendly movie, popcorn and blankets on the grass once the weather cools off.
Two hours, gloves and trash bags provided, coffee and donuts after. Entrances, common areas and the creek bank.
