Be sure to check out the details below for upcoming events, recent highlights, and ways you can participate. There’s never been a better time to be on the court!
We were thrilled to kick off the 2025 bocce season with a fun and lively Opening Night on Tuesday, April 30, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. Members came together to enjoy great company, friendly competition, and the beautiful spring weather as we launched another exciting season on the bocce courts. If you missed the opening night, don’t worry—there are plenty more opportunities to join in the fun! Our Weekly Bocce Socials will take place every Wednesday evening from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m., and all members are welcome to participate, whether you're a seasoned player or brand new to the game. These casual, social gatherings are the perfect way to relax midweek, meet fellow members, and enjoy one of the club’s most popular outdoor activities. To participate, please sign up using the ForeTees system, which makes it easy to reserve your spot and stay updated on weekly play. If you have any questions about the bocce program or need help getting started, feel free to reach out to Ed Chilton at echilton@wilmingtoncc.com.
