BILLIARDS CLUB
The Roadhaven Billiards clubs has nicest room in the valley, with 12 very well maintained pool tables that are kept in the finest condition. The Billiard Club uses the membership fees and other fundraising efforts to regularly replace the cushions and the cloth on the pool tables, in turn, keeps these tables in peak performance.
There have been a lot of exciting changes in the club recently. We have had many people join who haven’t played before. With our free lessons for new members every Monday and Thursday at 1:00 p.m. they are learning the game and having a lot of fun at the same time.
Word of mouth is spreading rapidly and our membership is growing. The members meet every day at 1:00 p.m. for friendly competition and Monday and Thursday at 7:00 p.m. Our new event every Wednesday for couples at 7:00 p.m. has been a great success. Whether you’ve just started or been playing for years, it’s a lot of fun.
- Who can use the Billiard Room?
With 12 tables in the room there are 4 tables along the window. On the wall of the pool area
that are for use by all residents of Roadhaven. The other 8 tables that are separately identified
are for use by members of the Billiard Club.
- When can we use the tables to play?
The room is open, and the tables are available to use every day until 10 p.m.
- I have never played so why would I join the club?
Every member of the Billiard club has free lessons available. We have lessons on Monday and
Thursday from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Also Wed evening from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The best
part is that new players play with people of their own skill level and as a result they are having a
lot of fun and learning fast.
- Do I have to play in competition, or can I play for fun?
We have something for every member.
Roadhaven billiard members play in 3 different leagues that offer competition for r those that
are interested. We also have open play every day at 1:00 p.m. There is no commitment required
If you want to play just show up. If you are busy that’s ok as well.

FITNESS CLUB
Insert a meaningful line to evaluate the headline
The Fitness Club is one of Roadhaven’s largest clubs, with membership varying from 350 to 450 members each year. The Wellness Center facility is located in Phase 2, West of the Cantina and across Inuit Avenue from the Golf Course.
The goals of the Fitness Club include: to maintain the Wellness Center for the use and enjoyment of all members and guests, to offer instruction in the use of the equipment, and to promote a healthy lifestyle through providing educational opportunities on the value of exercise and proper diet.
Our facility is provided by the Roadhaven Homeowners Association and the equipment, maintenance, and operating is all provided by the volunteer Fitness Club. The modest annual membership fees go toward purchase and maintenance of fitness equipment and supplies, as well as such basic things as the steam cleaning of the carpets.
The history of the Fitness Club is generally of growth, from the start in the former pro shop to the doubling of size in the same location in time for the 2009/10 season. The continuing growth and popularity of the facility has made even that space seem inadequate at times. In the 2013/2014 season, we added the services of a personal trainer, to provide a professional augmentation of the services provided all along by volunteers. The latest improvement to the facility was the May 2014 replacement of the stretching and strength equipment. This involved an investment of $19,000, by the Fitness Club Board. This investment was 100% funded by the fees paid by the members who use the facility.
Check back later for updates.
To become a Fitness Club member, complete the entry form you will find at the sign-in desk just inside the door, and mail it as indicated in the in-park mail, with the annual fee ($25 single, $40 couple for the 2020/21 season). A volunteer will send your membership number via return in-park mail. Please feel free to sign in without a number until you receive it. There is also a $5 option for short-term visitors.
Check back later for updates.
You are welcome to visit the Wellness Center – it is open from 5 am to 10 pm every day. If you require instruction on how to use the various types of equipment, volunteers will be available to help you.
To join the Fitness Club, fill out a form available by the main door and stick in the in-park mail. The Board of Directors, plus a few volunteers, clean the facility once a month, so as a new member, consider joining the rest of us on facility clean-up night. The date and time for the clean-up will be posted in fitness center.

The other $5 is used to offset some of the expense of our BBQs.
January member-only barbeque and our March member/guest barbeque. We sponsor a 2-day club tournament in March and a match play tournament starting in January.
Latest fundraising event and cause information here.

Roadhaven Photography Club Members,
Just a reminder about our photoshoot scheduled at the Superstition Mountain – Lost Dutchman Museum, Wednesday, January 19th, at 4PM. Here is a link to their address plus directions: http://superstitionmountainmuseum.org/visit/directions/
Please note that the Museum closes at 4PM, therefore we should park off-road to the right just outside the entrance gate, it should be available for our use (and a good place for us to congregate when we arrive). Tom obtained permission from the museum for our group to enter their grounds after 4 pm (signs say no trespassing after 4).
The main takeaway is that our members should not enter the regular parking lot within the locking gate or they’ll have to move their car.
We should be able to photograph the unique antiques located on the grounds, plus cactus and the Superstition Mountains during the golden hour and sunset.
Please let us know if you plan on attending, so we can make sure we have enough parking space outside the gate.

SOFTBALL CLUB
The Softball Club is coordinated and overseen by a five-person Commission, elected annually in February, that seeks to provide a slo-pitch softball program that, as much as possible, gives Roadhaven residents who wish to play an opportunity to do so at a level that best reflects their skill levels and abilities.
Player ages range from 55 to 80+ including some who may have limited ball experience before arriving in our park.
Each year we expect to sponsor teams in the 55+, 65+, 70+ and 75+ age categories, plus a team or two in an “all ages” recreation league. Most teams participate in tournament play during the season.
We are always looking for new members
For more information, email us at rdhvnsoftball@gmail.com or contact any Softball Commission Member.

TENNIS CLUB
Weekly league tennis, club events, and popular social activities throughout the season
The Roadhaven Tennis Club has provided league play with other Arizona Parks for the past 30 years. The club has taught thousands of retired seniors how to play or re-learn to play doubles tennis.
The tennis club attracts active residents who want to achieve an active and social lifestyle. The club also attracts social members who have heard that the Tennis Club has the best parties. The club encourages beginners.
Whether a beginner or a seasoned player, bring a tennis racquet with some enthusiasm and join us in this great game. It’s not only fun but it keeps you in shape, whatever your age or become a social member and enjoy your many new friends.
Beginner’s lessons are available for all ages and we range from 55 to nearly 90. This exemplifies the variation in talents, and new people are continually bringing fresh talent and fresh enthusiasm. If they have no interest in tennis or are physically incapable of play, they can be a social member allowing participation in all club activities except those of leadership.
Aside from the many privately arranged games played within Roadhaven, there are organized competitive team matches and tournaments with other park teams as part of the East Valley Senior Tennis League (EVSTL). Each league team has its own Captain. League play includes one match and one practice session a week.
There are 6 proficiency levels: 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0. All teams at each level have a Captain that arranges the weekly competition with other resorts. Be assured, every level, including the lowest, has its joy and satisfaction, although because of the number of players on each team at each level, there is no guarantee that you will play league every week. Captains try to play as many people as possible each week, but it depends upon how many teams the opposition sends too.

$40.00/person for a tennis membership. $10.00/person for a social membership.
