Effective 5/7, access to York Golf Club is off W. Campus View Drive (NEW ACCESS DRIVE) at Rt. 23 (High Street).
Also - NO NORTHBOUND HIGH STREET TO WEST (LEFT) ONTO W. CAMPUS VIEW DRIVE.
You must turn right (east) onto Dimension Dr. (between Bob Evans and Ruckmoor), and proceed west to High Cross Blvd, then turn north (left) onto High Cross to E. Campus View Blvd turning east (left) onto E. Campus View and straight through High Street to W. Campus Blvd to York Temple Dr.
Please be aware that this will be for the next 2 years as the construction will be tunneling a new roadway in that area.

| Aladdin Shriners Vote to Relocate | 
Illustrious Sir Rogers has again repeated at the stated meeting on September 15th, "All Nobles, please not approach anyone associated with the property or try to gain access to look around until the contract is signed. Any interference at this time might jeopardize the ability to purchase the property." As the contracts have not been signed, there should be no interference including going to look at the building. The check has not been written, so continued interest may cause more problems than are expected. |
