Headed back to SJ in June for fourth visit. Each time we’ve experienced something different. A retirement home is a big decision and we are taking our time. Twenty months and counting to retirement day.
I’m a passionate golfer and this will be my first time playing at SJ. High single digit player who enjoys challenging, well conditioned courses. Will play one time. Any suggestions on which course to play?
Right now, Players and Reserve are in good/excellent condition. Unfortunately, the bad winter has resulted in horrific green conditions for Founders and Members and I personally avoid these right now unless there is no alternative. A month from now, things might be different though.
Can someone point me to information about the SJP club initiation and annual fees? I am not interested in golf. I am just interested in a ballpark number for the fitness, etc.
It's a standard announcement when there are heavy rains ...... mostly "flooding" of a few inches at the side of a road and completely passable ..... unless I'm mistaken there a couple of intersections mostly below the Polly Gully bridge that were "impassable" maybe 18 inches or so in the street during the heaviest of the rain and then they drain / subside fairly quickly in a few hours.... the entire area is pretty level so there is really nowhere for the water to go "immediately" but even in those few instances it's passable in a few hours .... the announcement sounds much worse than it really is.
Broadly stated, much of the lower "half" of SJP is in the 50-100 year flood plain. However, if you view the FEMA maps you will note just how close the edges of the 50-year and 100-year flood plains are to one another. That is indicative of a large gradient (elevation change rate), which may help to ease some concerns. When the 50-100 year flood plains are not close together in proximity, that usually occurs when the elevation change rate is less pronounced.
If I recall correctly, there is approximately a net 45-50 foot elevation change from the top to the bottom of SJP. The community has taken good precautions (including the construction of a series of tiered ponds) to manage rain runoff in a manner that the lower portion of SJP does not see all the runoff at once.
The real flooding potential in NC is not near the coast which may surprise some peeps!
From a historical perspective, these are the highest daily precipitation events for Wilmington since 1871:
The rain even of Saturday, May 19th was 5.04 INCHES in Wilmington.
