Biggest News:
The club has waived our initiation fee for non-Kildaire Farms residents, and we are offering a $100 discount for membership dues for every new member a KF member has referred. This is a great way for existing and new members to save money.

April 28th, 2-5 PM - Kildaire Farms Racquet & Swim Club Open House. Members and staff will be available to host tours of our tennis, pool, and clubhouse facility during this time. We will provide free hamburgers, hot dogs, and refreshments at the pool, and this event is open to current members and anyone interested in joining our club.
April 28th, 5:30-7:30 PM - KF Swim Team Pot Luck at the clubhouse. We?ll have all kinds of details about our swim season, 2018 team hand books, and the chance to meet our new head coach.
