CLUBHOUSE PARK BEACH SWIMMING MARINA VOLLEYBALL DINING FEE SCHEDULE

CLUB MEMBERSHIP

Located on beautiful, 650 acre Portage Lake, in Pinckney, Michigan, our facility has something for everyone. With a summer activities season May 1 through mid October, Portage Yacht Club (PYC) provides swimming, tennis picnicking, and 197 berths for sail and motor boats. Our modern clubhouse facility has all the amenities and you will enjoy a full dining menu with a delightful view of the lake for your dining experience.

If you are looking to race your sailboat, this is the place. Our one-design sailboat racing is a favorite pastime of many of our members and, with Midwest Sailing on the premises, you have an excellent source for all your sail boating needs.

The Clubhouse
		Our contemporary 12,600 square foot building was completed in 1994. On the ground level are two large multi-purpose rooms with water views, deli, kitchen, locker rooms, coat room, club office and large front deck opening onto the beach. Upstairs is a game room and an expansive deck with panoramic views of Portage Lake.

The Park
		Our two acres of shaded grass picnic grounds with large mature trees, picnic tables, Weber grills, volleyball courts, soccer field and jungle-gym swing sets, is a delightful space to spend a day. The gentle breeze off the lake with the sunny skies will surely take away your stress.

The Beach
		The large, sandy beach with beach chairs, children's beach toys and sand pile offers you the comforts of your own back yard. You and your family will enjoy hours upon hours of fun.

The Swimming
		Ours is a protected swimming area with children's wading dock and shallow-water jumping dock, waterslide, water volleyball net, deep-water diving dock, and swimming lessons.

The Marina
		We have 197 berths for mostly sailboats and a few powerboats. Ranging from racks with rollers for small boats such as canoes, Lasers, Sunfish, etc., to hoisted berths for pontoons, power boats, centerboard sailboats, and winged-keel sailboats up to 22 feet, our marina is arranged along 1300 linear feet of dock.

The Volleyball
		Come play volleyball in the sand. Located in the park, you are always near the picnic tables with a nice view of the water. A good workout can always be rewarded with a nice, cool dip in the lake.

The Dining
		Our dining facilities offer a full view of Portage Lake from both inside and out. Whether a dining or full membership, treat yourself to a great meal from our contemporary menu that has something for everyone's taste.

It takes five seasons for the Club to become fully vested in an initiation fee, at a rate of 20% per season. Should you leave your membership prior to five seasons of use, any initiations will be returned to you on a pro-rated basis.

2007 members who renew in 2008 pay no initiation fee. New members, and former members (1966-2006) who have not paid an initiation fee pay the full initiation fee. Former members (1966-2006) who have paid an initiation fee pay the difference between the initiation fee paid and the current initiation fee. When converting from one membership category to another with a higher initiation fee, only the difference must be paid. When a child previously eligible under their family's Flag membership converts to their own Flag membership they pay only 50% of applicable initiation fee.

When a new member (new or renewing) adds a berth to their membership, there is a marina initiation fee, which is noted on the Marina Fees schedule. If a member changes to a more expensive berth, they pay only the difference between the current initiation fees for the new berth and the one they are leaving.

Categories, dues and initiation fees are subject to change without notice. All applicants, including those on a waiting list, will be subject to the fees and conditions of membership in effect at the time the membership is accepted.
