Gleneagle Discounts

In addition to a discount for residents in the clubhouse restaurant, there are two other discounts available to Gleneagle residents you should be aware of.


  • 10% off discount in the Pro Shop  
  • Special resident rates for Gleneagle green fees
So as soon as the weather warms up a bit, go get a couple sleeves of golf balls at the Pro Shop and play a round on our course.  You'll support Gleneagle and save money and have a great time while you're at it!

Garbage Can Enclosures

According to our governing documents, garbage cans should not be visible from the street or the golf course.  Currently, residents are not being fined for non-compliance, but starting sometime in the near future, fines will be issued in these cases.  Here is a solution for those of you needing an enclosure and not wanting to build it yourself.

Community "Town Hall" meeting

Want to meet your neighbors?
Have some ideas for making Gleneagle better?
Need some questions answered about how things run?

There will be a "town hall" style meeting at the clubhouse on February 4th from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM with chances to meet other members of the community and ask and share your questions, comments or concerns.  Hope to see you there!  And this is also a great time to try breakfast or lunch at the restaurant if you haven't had a chance to eat there yet.

Get involved with the Welcoming Committee


The members say this is the “best volunteer position in Gleneagle”.  They get to meet the new residents and most of the new residents are very enthusiastic about their move here and anxious to discuss plans for their future new home in our Gleneagle community.  At present, there are usually from two to six new sales each month, so the three members visit about two residents each.

They provide a Welcome Packet which is full of information they have gathered from various sources such as City Hall and the Visitors Center covering area activities, services, and other information of local interest. There is a general document detailing what is available in Gleneagle and another detailing how to register on the website.

Interested in welcoming our new members?

Happy Birthday to YOU

Did you know that you can get a free meal at the clubhouse restaurant on your birthday?  It's true.

Also, Gleneagle residents can get 10 percent off regular menu prices anytime (this does not include daily specials) AND residents can get all-day Happy Hour which means deals on draft beer, house wine, and well drinks.

Head on down there and take advantage of being living in Gleneagle!

Why a blog?


A Gleneagle Newsletter Committee member has created a “Blog” for the residents of our community.  Jody Lenius states “Currently much time and expense goes into the assembling, printing, and
mailing of the newsletter that may or may not be read by those who receive it; a thick, plain looking
newsletter could easily be missed or bypassed amid a stack of more interesting looking mail.  In addition members of the younger generation increasingly prefer to read news and mail in a digital format.  “By adding a blog, we can reach those residents who prefer to read news in a digital format.
This will also cut down on printing and mailing as publishing a blog is totally, completely free.
The blog will also serve as a forum for the community to converse on posts by having a comments
section.  Anyone can comment and even subscribe to comments to stay current with others’ comments.  In order to prevent blog comments from becoming an outlet for non-appropriate, offensive
or rude comments, all comments will be reviewed and edited if necessary by the blog editor prior to
posting on the blog.  Please keep comments relevant, constructive and non personal.
The committee understands that there are those who will choose to receive a newsletter and that
will continue for those who wish to receive it.  We hope that residents who can will choose to
receive the newsletter via email rather then “snail” mail.  To sign-up for this option, please
provide your Name, Address and email address to Judy Ness at nessie02@comcast.net so we know which of the members have subscribed and so we can remove you from the mailing list.

Arlington Rotary Club


The Rotary Club of Arlington meets every Thursday at noon at the Gleneagle Clubhouse. It is made up of local business, professional, and community leaders who provide humanitarian services, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.

Rotary’s motto is "Service Above Self".On a local level, we raise money through various means including the Great Stilly Duck Dash held every year on July 4th in Arlington.  We donate money to the food bank, Chamber of Commerce for Frontier Days, Kids' Kloset, the Open Door Theatre, and the Boy Scouts. We provide scholarships for students, and purchase and deliver Christmas baskets to local residents.
