DIRECTOR OF FOOD, BEVERAGE & EVENTS
Spring is thought of as a time for a new beginning It’s the start of grass becoming a bit greener, flowers blooming, animals emerging from their winter slumber, days become just a bit longer… and for members of CCN, it signals a new season and opening at the club and course I personally look forward to beginning this month anew as not only your Events Director, but I am also honored to have been appointed as the Interim Food & Beverage Director for CCN I will be working alongside Kyle Thomas and Jason Downey in taking our member dining experience and our private member events’ catering experience to a remarkable level in 2023 and beyond We have been a strong team for some time now working together in private events and now we can bring that same successful collaboration to our dining and culinary services. Our mission is to become THE top spot our members think of when choosing where they wish to dine during and after golf play
We kick off that mission with the launch of our new 2023 menu offerings in our Turnstand & Mixed Grille and Main Dining Room Very excited to open our Turnstand & Mixed Grille on Tuesday, April 11 for breakfast & lunch service This will be the date our hours for our restaurant shift to dinner service only (4pm-9pm Tuesday- Thursday & 4pm-10pm FridaySaturday). Our Mixed Grille and Golf Patio (weather permitting for patio) will have table-side service provided by a designated server to assist Trish during lunch hours Those are just a few of the updates to look forward to this season We assure there will be many more to come. Our Main Dining Room will continue to be available for lunch service throughout the week for parties of 8 or more that place a reservation in advance
We welcome and count on our members to provide their feedback on our menus and dining experiences. Please never hesitate to reach out to me directly by phone or email to provide your thoughts and recommendations on how we have, or how we can begin to create a remarkable experience for YOU and your fellow members in Food & Beverage services
Pivoting now over to Members Events and Private Member Event reservations, I am very excited for what this new season, and warmer months will bring. I hope you will all mark your calendars to join us for our Easter Egg Hunt and Brunch celebrations on April 9
We do have a local High School Prom coming our way on Saturday, April 15, which will affect dining services that evening. We will be offering a limited menu that evening in our Mixed Grille and we will accept to-go orders that evening between the hours of 4pm-5pm & 7pm-9pm Stay tuned on our weekly updates for our menu offerings that evening Outside of April 15, the only other Prom we have planned for 2023 is CCN’s very own TOTALLY RAD 80’s PROM GONE BAD on April 29 What better way to celebrate our Opening Day on the Course than by dressing up in your best white tailcoat suit with a raspberry cummerbund and matching bowtie for all our Blanes out there; and for all our Heathers, Alis & Samantha’s out there- step into your bubble skirt with lace ruffles and top it with the BIGGEST puffy sleeves that you can find Remember to tease up the hair and hold it with that classic Rave Hairspray Dealers choice on propping it up with a banana clip or a neon scrunchie It’s going to be a TOTALLY TUBULAR TIME you don’t want to miss!
We welcome all member requests and suggestions for event offerings throughout the year Please send any requests or recommendations to my attention at stblack@ccothenorth.com or 937-374-5000 ext 103.
