u/fun-sun-81

I was at Sun Ridge for the first time on Friday. As a first-time solo guy, I focused on my book and the sun, but it seemed like a friendly group. I wish I could have stayed longer.

I grabbed a lounge chair 2 rows from the pool where there were several open chairs. As more people arrived, I heard someone ask if it was ok if they sat in a specific person's seat, and the answer was that person wouldn't be here today. It jogged my memory that one of the local places had a google review about getting called out for sitting in a full member's seats. I had to leave soon anyways, but when I got home, I confirmed this was this was the place with that review and saw another review about having to use their own chair outside the pool fence. Lots of good reviews too.

Is there a lot reserved seating around the pool? Is it obvious what's reserved? Does pool seating for day visitors run out on a busy Saturday?

Hi, I visited Dyer Woods on a Monday, it was nice but really quiet (perfect for a first timer actually). I also visited Sandy Terraces on a Saturday - with more people there it was easier talk to a couple of people which was nice. It seemed like there are great people at both places.

Activities like volleyball would be nice. Solaire looks like a good option on paper, but I've read they are not very single male friendly (57m) and their pricing reflects that. I'm all for throwing creeps out, but Solaire has a different online reputation than the other places around here. Is this true?

Is Sun Ridge a good place for activities or is it mostly pick up games between a couple/friends?

Also, do any the places have more than a handful of people on a warm sunny Friday? (Wife will not go, a weekday can be easier)
