The center of activity for Jojoba
Hills SKP Resort is the Clubhouse area. The complex is built in the mission
style with stucco finish and partially beamed outdoor walkways. It consists
of approximately 18,000 square feet under roof in the main buiilding and
the annex.
In the patio area is the open
air swimming pool (30 x 65 feet with a depth of 3-1/2 to 5 feet). The pool
is heated and an automatic pool cover helps maintain the water temperature
throughout the year. A lift is provided for helping the handicapped enter
and leave the pool.
There are two spas, one sheltered
under the roof and one on the open deck, maintained year-round. The area
around the pool has patio tables, chairs and lounges. Some portions are
covered, others are exposed to the sun.
The resort has a large outdoor
grill under the covered patio for the preparation of meals during mild weather.
This area has been home to some great picnics. The view from the patio looking
across the valley to the mountains adds to the enjoyment of the picnic atmosphere.
On a level just below the clubhouse
complex is a tennis court and four covered tournament quality shuffleboard
courts. Tennis lessons, both beginning and advanced are often scheduled
during the winter months.
The horseshoe pits are across
the road from the Clubhouse. They regularly draw a boisterous crowd of pitchers
practicing their art. The pitchers often challenge people walking by on
the road to come in and join them.
The nine hole miniature golf course
is just up June River from the horseshoe pits. It has some pretty difficult
holes to make. This is a favorite of the grandchildren that visit from time
to time. Golf putters and golf balls are available in the Clubhouse crafts
room.
Also directly across from the
clubhouse is the CyberCenter, home of JHUG (Jojoba Hills Computer Users
Group). It is wheelchair accessible. Here you will find computers and peripheral
equipment on which to practice your computer arts. There is also a GTE telephone
line that can be used for accessing the Internet. Visitors have access to
an external telephone connection while they are here to keep in touch with
back home.
Nestled around the Clubhouse is
a growing garden of roses, succulents, and cacti, carefully tended by members
of the resort. These add much to the beauty of the surroundings of the Clubhouse.
