Worried you missed your chance to play bocce now that registration for conference play has closed?
Needn’t fret. You have plenty of opportunities throughout the week to get in on this wonderfully social sport imported from Italy via the Northeast. Played on the stunning bocce courts that opened at the Wildcat Recreation Area in 2021, the game is free to play for members of the bocce amenity with a court fee for non-members. Just check into the Racquet Club to reserve your court. If you don’t have the bocce balls, the Racquet Club will provide them.
