additional notes and reminders on our PKA email, the PKA Facebook page, and
the date is already noted on the website calendar.
Below is a quick review and highlights from the PKA Restricted Covenants.
• Additional lands could be added to PKA, but would only be added subject to
terms and conditions of PKA and approved by a full membership vote (Article

• Annual assessments shall be established by a majority of the votes cast by the
membership at the annual meeting for the next year and each succeeding year

The Country Club
of the Crystal Coast
...where friends connect
By Bill Knecht
On April 1 the Carteret
County Chamber of Commerce
participated in a ribbon-cutting
ceremony at the Country Club of
the Crystal Coast for the grand
opening of the club’s new 18-
hole soccer golf course. Those in
attendance ranged in age from
approximately 8 to 80. After a
brief ceremony, approximately
20 of those in attendance, both
members and non-members,
played a few holes of soccer golf
and thoroughly enjoyed it before
returning to the clubhouse for
some refreshments. It is safe to
say that all who tried it got a kick
out of it.
Club General Manager Chip
Chamberlin recorded the first
hole in one on the par 3 second
hole. The course is open to the
public, so bring your children,
grandchildren, friends and
neighbors out with you to enjoy
this new sport.
Beginning May 1, the course
■ will be open every day of the
week from 4 p.m. until dusk. For
more information, please call
Chip Chamberlin at 726-1034,
ext. 12, or to book a tee time call
the pro shop at 726-1034, ext. 10.
Cost to play for nonmembers is
$12 per person for ages 14 and
over, $10 for those 6-13, and
those under 5 play for free. Soccer balls can be rented if you don’t have one, and
carts are available for $13 for those who are not able to walk or simply wish to ride.
Special rates are available for birthday parties, league play, soccer teams and other
group events.
Starting Wednesday, June 1, and continuing for 12 weeks, the club is hosting
the Crystal Coast Soccer Golf League. Teams will consist of two players, with a
shotgun start at 5:30 p.m. each Wednesday. It will be a stroke play competition with
each player kicking his or her own ball, and the best score between the two team
members will be the team score. This league is open to the public and the cost is
$140 per person, which also includes weekly event holes and a banquet with prizes
at the end of the 12 weeks. The deadline to sign up and pay the registration fee is 5
p.m. on Friday, May 27.
Also starting Wednesday, June 1, and continuing for 12 weeks, the club is
hosting the Crystal Coast Golf League. Teams will consist of two players, with a
9-hole shotgun start at 5:30 p.m. each Wednesday. This is a stroke play competition,
and the best score between the two team members will be the team score.
