Social Clubs on Duck Key

CLUB DUCK KEY

In modern communities, planners and developers often make provision for social and recreational centers for community residents to meet and socialize. Some 50 years ago the original developer of Duck Key, Bryan Newkirk, through the master deed for Duck Key made provision for just such a community center and recreation club. Sadly, Newkirk's vision failed and the lots platted for this purpose were changed to residential use by subsequent developers. In1999 residents of Duck Key joined together to form Club Duck Key making Newkirk's vision a reality.

Now, Duck Key has two clubs to which individuals may join: The Club at Duck Key, a recreation and social club for shareholder property owners on the residential islands and the Indies Club, a commercial club operated by Hawk's Cay Resort.

In 1998 residents and property owners on the Island of Duck Key joined together as shareholders to start the Club at Duck Key for the purpose of establishing a community recreational center and meeting place. Shareholder membership in the Club at Duck Key is limited to property owners of the residential islands of Duck Key. Construction of the Club facilities was completed in February of 200. Located on Center Island on lots 1,2,3,4,7,8 of Block 15 between San Jose and San Salvador Streets, the Club facility offers tennis and pool facilities and a pavillion meeting hall for community gatherings.

The Club's goal is a be focal point for community spirit and a gathering place for community functions. Shareholder membership is restricted to property owners on the residential islands.

The Club venture received the support of residents and property owners. Island's deed restrictions were amended upon obtaining approval of a majority of the residents and lot owners.

THE INDIES CLUB

The Indies Club, a commercial club operated by Hawk's Cay Resort also offers use of its facilities for a fee to nearby and local residents. Facilities of the Indies Club include access to beach and pools of the Hawk's Cay and facilities such as sauna, steam and weight rooms

In the early 1960s, the purchase of residential land on Duck Key automatically entitled the owner to the use of resort "club" facilities of the Indies Club. Property ownership on Duck Key no longer automatically entitles the owner to the use of resort "club" facilities of the Indies Club. Fee membership in the Indies Club is available to all who apply and are accepted by resort ownership. Property ownership on the residential islands of Duck Key is not a requirement.

Villa owners at Hawk's Cay Village are entitled to free Indies Club membership providing their villa unit is available for rental through the resort's rental management program. Yearly Membership in the Hawk's Cay Indies Club was $5000 in 2007.
