Diners may sit inside, or outside on the veranda overlooking the golf course. The new Tega Cay Elementary School is also at the entrance to the peninsula.  Many children have the fun of being safely delivered to school by golf carts. And Fridays are designated as "Walk or Ride Your Bike To School" days. This is not mandatory. But many kids do this every day. There are sidewalks, bike trails, crosswalks and Crosswalk guards for safety.
