About This Blog

This Blog is setup for Monterey Country Club residents to exchange comments, ideas, and concerns on areas of interest. It is setup by and for homeowners who are members of the Monterey CC but this website is completely independent of the Monterey CC Homeowners Association or Golf Course. The reason this Blog was established is to fill the void made when the current Board removed the HOA website MEMBER FORM leaving no medium for MCC homeowners to communicate/share their ideas, suggestions and concerns with other MCC homeowners.

GOLF PATH PROHIBITED

NEW HOA RULE:
7. GOLF COURSE/GOLF CART PATHS. The golf course and golf cart paths are for golf use only and may not be used by Association members for skateboarding or bicycling. Motorized scooters may not be used on the golf course or golf cart paths. Walking or logging on the golf cart paths are also prohibited.

HOA BOARD HAS NO AUTHORITY TO MAKE GOLF COURSE RULES

The Board and its lawyer Guralnick are very aware that according our CC& R section 4.1 (see below) the Board has absolutely no authority to restrict the homeowner access to the Golf Course including the Golf Path.

Lawyer Guralnick and the HOA management are well aware as should the Board be aware, that Plaza (Sunrise, Bill Bone) according to the original CC&Rs stated as follows:
CC&R's
Recorded October 5, 1978
9.11 Golf Cart and Pedestrian Paths. In connection with Declarant's development of the Project and Plaza's development of the Monterey Country Club, an extensive system of paved paths will be installed. Such paths will be generally located approximately on the boundaries dividing the Project from the Monterey Country Club. In some cases, however, portions of such paths may be located entirely on the Project or entirely on the Monterey Country Club. For convenience, notwithstanding the precise property lines of the Project and of the Monterey Country Club, the Association shall be responsible for maintaining all landscaping on the

  1. The Board has provided no justification or authority to create any prohibition on the use of the Golf Path.

  2. *What does it hurt to let members walk on the cart paths? Perhaps restrict the hours - before 8:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m.

    These changes seem to be taking place under a "shroud" of secrecy. We believe these rule changes should be discussed when many of the owners have returned in the fall and are able to attend the meetings.
