We will be discussing:
The plan is to distribute the RFID tags the week of October 6th, 2025, and October 13th, 2025, so we can hopefully go “live” the week of October 20th, 2025.
If you still need to submit the Resident Information Form, you can obtain it from the Management team; send them an email at

There will be an opportunity for candidates to address the residents before the November Board meeting. Each candidate will have 2 minutes to speak.
Online voting will be conducted through Election Buddy. The exact dates for online voting will be announced closer to the election. Election results are final as of December 17th, when the new directors will be seated and committee members announced.

On behalf of the HWCC Board of Directors,
Welcome to the Hawthorn Woods Country Club Community Website.
Whether you are a new member of the HWCC community or a long-time resident, we hope that you are enjoying all the amenities of county-club living; i.e., organized social activities, tranquil walking paths, nearby nature preserves, a professionally-designed golf course along with golf, tennis and bocce leagues. You can make memories at the holidays and special events for young and old. Some fan favorites include the annual Easter Egg Hunt and Brunch, July 4th Fireworks, Ladies’ Night Out, Fishing Derby and Campouts, Burger Nights, and the wildly popular Santa Brunch. If you are looking for a more low-key experience, you can just kick back at the clubhouse or patio firepits while meeting new friends.
The HWCC community takes pride in being a welcoming and caring neighborhood that fosters friendships, encourages participation, and supports one another. We believe that successful communities are built on communication, and the HOA Board of Directors is working to make that a primary goal.
To that end, we have created this website. We hope to offer all residents complete transparency, provide readily-available resources, and timely information. You will find the following resources here:
Please explore the website. For an overview of our community, I recommend that you explore our About Page (below). Our website is new, a work in progress, and we welcome your feedback and suggestions. Let’s make our neighborhood the best we can be!
