     As you are pondering what to buy your loved ones, don’t forget that we have holiday gift cards available! We have many special interest, sports, and fitness classes to learn or try something new. Sometimes the gift of an experience can last much longer than a present opened and forgotten. Maybe they would like to play some rounds at Highland or Saukie Golf Course, splash down a slide at Whitewater Junction next summer, or take a relaxing soak in the Rock Island Fitness and Activity Center hot tub!

     For the golfer on your shopping list, RIFAC will also have golf merchandise for sale including gloves, hats, shirts, and golf balls. Purchase a 2019 season pass and lock in 2018 rates.
