1. PORI :  Ours is a resident organization formed to interface with the developer on key issues, represent  the interests of the community in public venues such as county commissioner meetings, city council meetings, planning & zoning meetings, and to keep the community informed.  Annual membership is optional for property owners and costs $50 this year for each property owner or corporate member regardless of the number of parcels owned.  In straightforward terms, PORI exists to do that which the master homeowners' association will not do on behalf of its residents.

The first homes in this area were built in the late 1980s under a previous developer.  The community was then known as The Reserve.  The name of our organization was derived from the documents filed with the County to create this community.  To this day, the official records of the County still refer to this area as “The Reserve”.  PORI has consider a name change on several occasions but in a survey conducted in late 2003 and early 2004, the membership voted heavily to maintain the name "PORI".    We plan to do so.

Over the years, the community has  changed and grown. After the community was sold to Kolter Property Company and  the PGA decided to locate its world-class learning facility here, Kolter changed the name of our community to PGA Village . When you hear the names  “ PGA Village ” and “The Reserve”, they mean the exact same community and neighborhoods. If you live in PGA Village, you live in The Reserve and vice versa. The perimeter boundaries are the same.  The master homeowners’ association has been, and still is today, under the total control of the developer with no resident  elected representation. PORI has been sucessful in demanding  that the meetings be advertised and open to the owners. While it is not unusual  for the developer to control the Master Association until a development is nearly completed, it is unusual for that transition to last upwards of 25 years.  The property owners felt that it was necessary to have a separate organization dedicated to protecting resident interests, especially with the extended time until the homeowners' association  will be turned over to the residents.  PORI was established in 1994 specifically for that purpose.   

Over the years, PORI’s purpose has evolved to one of a focused mission of: 

(1) interfacing with the developer on behalf of the residents on issues such as the effective use of our maintenance fees and continued development of PGA Village ; 

(2) representing community interest with elected officials such as the City Council, County Commissions and State Representatives & Senator; and 

(3) keeping the community informed on major issues facing it and helping to marshal the resources of the residents when needed to show our support for key issues that directly affect PGA Village.
