What is the IHCC?

The Indian Hills Community Club is a non-profit organization run by volunteers in the neighborhood. Over the past 5 decades, IHCC has sold memberships to the pool, tennis courts and lakes to generate the funds needed to maintain Indian Hills’ 30 acres of shared property and amenities. Unfortunately, membership dues alone have not raised enough funds to maintain the property, and over time, the conditions of our lakes, dams and pool/tennis facility have deteriorated. Currently, IHCC board members are looking for a way to save the property. Our goal now is to educate the neighborhood about the situation and find a solution that will allow us to keep our lakes, creek-side lands and facility grounds private.
