Good Morning! We are pleased to announce the addition of two more golf communities to the GCH Network–DC Ranch, a private, gated country-club community in Scottsdale, AZ and Treasure Lake, a gated, master-planned golf and lakefront community in DuBois, PA.

DC Ranch, architecturally designed to blend into its desert environment, has a style reminiscent of 1920s and ‘30s grand Western resorts. A community center offers residents swimming, tennis, basketball, volleyball, fitness.

Treasure Lake offers two PGA golf courses, three lakes and a relaxed lakeside lifestyle. The community has its own Towne Center with a market, deli, spa, boutique and municipal services. Life at Treasure Lake includes Pennsylvania’s popular practice of not taxing retirement income. —David Lott, Founder/Publisher
