Please be aware that Lake Sycamore (Lake Ogle) is private property and is not open for public use (this is the lake between Sycamore Hills Ln and Willow Creek Ln).Fishing, boating, swimming, and other recreational activities are not permitted, and there is no public access to the lake. Please note that all lakes within PersimmonRidge are private property and no public access is allowed (golf course lakes are the property of the PR golf course and are not open to everyone).
Thank you for respecting the property rights of the property owners and helping us be good neighbors.
A note from the Persimmon Ridge Golf Course:
We hope you are enjoying the beautiful spring weather in our community. As the golf season is in full swing, we would like to remind all residents regarding the rules and regulations protecting our golf course property.
The golf course is private property and a dedicated recreational area for golfers. For the safety of our residents, guests, and golfers, as well as to maintain the pristinecondition of the turf, we ask that all homeowners adhere to the following policies:
· No Unauthorized Vehicles or Activities: The use of motorized scooters, private golf carts, bicycles, skateboards, or any other unauthorized vehicles is strictly prohibitedon the golf course, cart paths, and fairways.
· Keep Off the Course: Walking, jogging, dog walking, or riding scooters/bicycles is not permitted at any time.
· Fishing Prohibited: Fishing in any of the lakes, ponds, or waterways located on the golf course property is strictly prohibited.
These rules are in place not only to preserve the high quality of our community's golffacilities but, most importantly, to ensure everyone's personal safety. A golf coursecan be a dangerous environment for pedestrians and unauthorized vehicles while play is underway.
We greatly appreciate your cooperation, understanding, and help in keepingPersimmon Ridge a beautiful and safe place to live.
The HOA has received reports of dogs being off-leash while walking in the neighborhood, including instances of aggressive behavior toward other residents andother pets. For the safety and comfort of everyone in our community, we are sending this friendly but important reminder regarding pet expectations.

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in keeping Persimmon Ridge a safe and welcoming neighborhood for all residents and their pets.
The walking trail between Persimmon Ridge and The Overlook is intended for pedestrian use only. Motorized vehicles are not permitted on the trail, as they can damage the surface, accelerate wear and erosion, and create disturbances for other pedestrians and nearby homeowners. Please help preserve the trail as a safe and enjoyable space for everyone by keeping all motorized vehicles off the path. Thank you for your cooperation.

Persimmon Ridge residents should now see the following monthly Waste Management rates (years 2 and 3 are subject to an increase based on the year over year changes in the Consumer Price Index for Water, Sewer and Trash services):
Please note that some July invoices may have been generated before the new rates were applied. If your invoice does not reflect the $16/$4/$4 rates, please let us know.We will work with our contact at Waste Management to have it corrected and re-issued.
We’d like to share some information regarding how weeding is performed throughout the community by our landscape contractor, Greenscapes.
Planned Community-Wide Weeding
Weeding is not performed every week across the entire neighborhood. Instead,Greenscapes focuses weeding efforts during specific scheduled contract work, including:
Rotational Weeding Schedule
Outside of these larger scheduled projects, weeding is completed on a rotating basis with one week the entrance areas are serviced and the following weeks, the island areas are serviced. This rotation continues throughout the season depending on need.
As we move out of the peak spring growing season, the team is able to dedicate more consistent time to weeding. This typically occurs in late May through early June, once growth begins to slow.
Reporting Dead or Declining Landscaping
If you notice any plants, shrubs, or trees that appear dead or dying, please report them so they can be reviewed and addressed as needed.
Reports may be submitted to:
Planning a summer gathering? The pool pavilion is available to rent during pool season in 4-hour blocks for $100.
Each rental includes 10 guest passes, making it a perfect option for birthday parties, family get-togethers, or small celebrations with friends and neighbors at the pool.
If you have any questions or would like to reserve the pavilion, please contactCornerstone at Melinda@contactcornerstone.com.
We look forward to seeing everyone enjoy another great summer season at the pool!
Planning an exterior project at your home? Please remember that any changes to the outside of your property require prior approval from the Architectural ReviewCommittee (ARC).
This includes projects such as installing a fence, adding a playground set, building afire pit, constructing or replacing a deck, or making additions to your home.Additionally, if your project will require a dumpster on-site for any period of time, anArchitectural Review Form must be submitted, including the expected duration the dumpster will remain on your property.
Once your application is submitted, Melinda will review it and work closely with you to ensure all necessary information is provided. The approval process typically takes just a few days, and her goal is to help facilitate a smooth and successful outcome for your project.
