As Memorial Day stands as a time to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, it is also a reminder to enjoy the company of the friends and family who surround you. And as temperatures rise, school ends, and daylight lasts until 9:00 pm, this holiday also signals the happy unofficial start of summer. In celebration, here are our top 10 ways to get outside at the Bay Club (and beyond) this Memorial Day weekend.
Spread your blanket and enjoy a packed picnic. ‘Tis the season for kicking off your shoes and eating outdoors, and that’s what picnics are all about! Well, that and delicious spreads, picture-worthy accouterments, and maybe some wine. You can find tips on how to picnic like a pro here.
Enjoy the classic Memorial Day staple: BBQ party. Head to Bay Club Gateway for a Memorial Day BBQ on Monday, May 29, from 12:00–3:00 pm. We’re hosting a poolside BBQ for all ages. Start your summer with us and enjoy a day of delicious food, activities for the kids, and lounging by the pool.
Get the little ones out on the tennis court for some friendly competition. On Saturday, May 27 and Sunday, May 28, we’ll be hosting a youth tournament at Bay Club SF Tennis. The tournament will run from 9:00 am–5:00 pm both days, and the registration fee is $38 per player.
Fire up the grill to feature all your summer favorites. Elevate your guests’ experience by going beyond the usual barbecued meats and find some creative (and healthier) grill options here.
Hit the trails for some adventure. Memorial Day weekend is the perfect chance to get out of town and gain some elevation. If you need some hiking destination inspiration, we rounded up a few of our favorite trails here.
Make the perfect outdoor refreshment: Homemade slushies, anyone? A glass of wine on a warm day sounds fantastic—but it sounds even better if it’s in slushie form. You can make these homemade wine slushies with white, red, or rose, making them the perfect hostess treat for any guest.
Take a break from the BBQ to swim it off. It’s easy to fill up on barbecue and potato salad on Memorial Day, but it’s also the perfect weekend to take care of yourself with a little pool fitness. You’ll probably be spending all afternoon there anyway, so might as well squeeze in a pool workout.
Celebrate red, white, and blue on the greens. Join us for a Memorial Day BBQ Celebration right on the course at StoneTree Golf Club on Monday, May 29 from 10:00 am–6:00 pm. We’re also offering golf specials for the long weekend! Be sure to contact the Club for more details.
Eat ice cream and play lawn games. Join us for a summer kick-off extraordinaire, featuring water balloons, snow cones, live entertainment, and more at Bay Club Ross Valley, we’re hosting an all-weekend affair, complete with lawn games, jumpy houses, wine ‘n’ s’mores, ice cream socials, and live music.
Gather ’round a fire and turn on some summer tunes. What better way to appreciate a warm summer night than with a fire under the stars? Pair it with your favorite playlist, add some s’mores, and you’re kicking off summer in style.
