On August 5thThe Quail Creek Billiards Club and the Quail CreekPOA completed a major upgrade to the billiards room amenity. Three new professional quality eight-foot Diamond pool tables were installed. New balls, chairs, chair rails, bridges, cabinet, shelves, racks, covers and cues have also been added.
Peter Zeh, QCBC President, said, “Our club members, the POA and the people at Diamond really came together to make something incredible happen. The tables are top quality and make us step up our game. With three tables we get more play time during our tournaments and regular group events.”
The three tables have 1-inch one-piece slates for the smoothest of surfaces.
Incredibly smooth blue Simonis cloth covers the table and rails to provide the best play possible.
The expert installation team from Diamond Billiard Products, Inc. completed the delivery and installation in one day.

Klaus Schroeder, Adrian Lelea and Dave Goble concur that the new tables are both more enjoyable and challenging.
