Good afternoon,
I hope everyone is having a great week and is doing their best to stay warm with this cold weather we’ve been having.
We had a very successful week working on the Golf Course as we continued to make great strides with the work we’ve been doing. The team worked on numerous cart paths this week and worked on getting the ruts out and make them better for everyone’s carts. This won’t be the final product as Todd and his team are waiting for a product to come in and it will look better. With this cold weather we aren’t getting much growth currently, but the team continues to prepare for the Spring weather as we continue to fertilize and continue to work on the greens.
We have a punch list that we are currently working on for the golf course and we will continue to finish this list and continue to make the golf course better each day. The future forecast doesn’t look great as we continue to stay in this cold spell another 7 to 10 days and hopefully after that we will have some sunshine as warmer weather is coming in. The goal is to continue to work on the golf course and continue to improve daily. I have had numerous individuals approach me and ask questions or let me know if they see something. I really appreciate that and please if you see something let me know.
The Golf Operations team continues to grow as this week we’ve hired three (3) new outside staff employees and a new individual for the Golf Shop. We will continue to grow in all areas as we will have starters and player assistants on a daily basis, and we will have better control of where people drive their carts as well as make sure they are filling their divots and fixing their ball marks on greens.
I know I’ve received some questions about the golf cars and when they will be repaired as we are still waiting on the Insurance Company to give us an answer and hopefully next week, we will get more rentals to help us out and we don’t have to turn play away. Hopefully, we can get some warmer weather and we can get more golfers to come out as well…
Please sign up for the following events:
- January 25th – Mixed Couples – 8:30 Shotgun
Also, I want to thank everyone for stopping by the Golf Shop to check in the days you play. We still have a few that don’t check in and would appreciate if you could, moving forward this helps us show documented member rounds as it helps the staff get to learn your names.
F&B has had a slow start to the year, and we are hoping that it will pick up next week as we will be rolling out the new menu on Sunday for breakfast. I apologize for the delay as we need to do some work and check out other golf courses and properties as we have raised the price on a few items on the new menu as cost of items continue to go up on us. For example, a case of Romaine lettuce is $150.00, and case of eggs cost us $98.18 which is 180 eggs, and our cost is .55 cents per egg, French fries have gone to $68.00, and they were $33.00 per case. Also, we just had a 4.75% increase on all Pepsi products as well. The cost of all beer, liquor and wine have gone up as well. With this said unfortunately we had to raise some prices on some items. We haven’t had any rate increase in F&B in over a year and we hope everyone understands and continues to support us.
We are excited that tonight we have live entertainment back in the restaurant and look forward to seeing everyone and watching everyone have a fun evening and look forward to the next few weeks please call and make reservations as it fills up fast.
