The venue is situated on land that began as a 2,200-acre estate belonging to the Dollar family, founders of the Dollar Steamship Lines. Developer Ross Cortese purchased the property in the early 1960s to create a country club atmosphere accessible to middle-class seniors. Construction began in 1964, reshaping the landscape of Tice Valley. The Dollar family home remains on the grounds as a preserved landmark and serves as a main clubhouse for social activities. The community has evolved into one of the nation's premier active adult communities, now home to nearly 10,000 residents. Ownership models include cooperative living, condominiums, and single-family homes, with specific residential sections such as The Waterford offering congregate living services. The site is known for its low-maintenance lifestyle, allowing residents and guests to focus on social connection and active wellness rather than property upkeep.

The venue is located at 1021 Stanley Dollar Dr. It sits just off Tice Creek, which runs alongside the property. The Rossmoor neighborhood is about two-tenths of a mile away.
