The month of October is usually filled with Oktoberfest celebrations, Halloween decorations, and plenty of football.
Here at Plantation Bay, the October Activities and Events schedule features all of those things, plus a healthy dose of golf and tennis!
The golf and tennis seasons are really hitting their stride this month as most of the leagues have kicked off by now, and we are absolutely packed solid with great events in addition to all of the usual social activities and dinner specials.
Here are some of the great activities and events that you won’t want to miss in October:
