Dear members, Winter has officially arrived bringing below freezing temperatures to the Kansas City region. The changing of the weather provides the golf course maintenance team an opportunity to begin projects that are difficult to complete during the busy golf season
One area of emphasis this winter is the continuing evaluation of trees throughout the property. The golf course maintenance team recently conducted a tree assessment of all maintained areas throughout the property We concluded the assessment with 79 tree specimens that need removal.
Of these 79 trees only 8 are located in highly maintained areas on the golf course. The vast majority of these assessed trees are located outside the cart path in areas such as natives, the clubhouse parking lot and the Sechrest property. These trees have been labeled for removal due to death, decay or safety concerns Safety concerns include trees with excess dead wood and/or hollow qualities. Many of these dead trees are Ash trees that have been killed by the Emerald
This insect has caused widespread damage to Ash trees throughout the region in recent years Upon completion of all tree removals, a stump grinder will be rented to remove remaining stumps. We have a plan to replace any desired trees with select Maple varieties to add fall color throughout the golf course this Spring.
The GCM team thanks you for your support throughout the 2022 season. We’re excited for the opportunity to make an impact with upcoming winter projects as we move into the 2023 season Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns Happy Holidays!
Best regards,
It's hard to believe another month is almost behind us. You know what they say, "Time flies when we are having fun" and that has absolutely been the case for November
We opened the month strong with GOBBLER BINGO & CHILI NIGHT, hosted in Fireside. To say this was a hit would be an understatement More than 70 of our closest friends, dabbers in hand came ready to PLAY. 10 games full of laughs, special prizes, a sing along and a dance off. Everyone left a winner after a spirited night!
Fast forward a week and Loch Lloyd Country Club hosted A TASTE OF TUSCANY as we welcomed Tenuta Torciano Winery and our wine expert for the evening, Gabriele from San Gimignano, Italy This was an exclusive evening of sampling the finest Italian wine, vino wisdom, and Tuscan inspired bites Guests truly felt like they were in Italy - from Gabriele's accent to Chef's incredible menu it was an exceptional evening.
And no November can be wrapped up without turkey, pumpkin pie and all the fixins' and Loch Lloyd Country Club did just that as we hosted a THANKSGIVING FEAST on Thursday, November 24th with approximately 300 of our closest friends The dining rooms were transformed into family style seating, complete with festive decor, and we opened our doors for our Loch Lloyd Family to enjoy a day of blessings with their loved ones The food was divine and the company was exceptional We are grateful for an incredible team of associates that spent their holiday taking care of our members and ensuring a day full of memories that will last well beyond the shelf life of those leftovers
And those associates won't be getting rest as we turn our attention to December, a month packed with more merriment Loch Lloyd will serve as host to numerous holiday gatherings in addition to our member programming. Christmas Lighting (news alert... this has been pushed to Saturday, December 3rd), our Annual Member Appreciation Sale (this year named LOCH & LOADED), Ladies Holiday Bubbles, Brunch and Boutiques, Ugly Christmas Sweater Party in the 19th Hole and who would miss SANTA BRUNCH! Man I am tired just thinking about it More details on all of these events can be found in the newsletter or call the Clubhouse for more information
While all of these events are occurring, we are still focusing on our daily dining operations and working to ensure an exceptional experience each and every time you walk into the Club. As promised, tweaks to the menu were released in mid-November These were made based on member feedback. And while this journey to a menu that is pleasing to everyone is still a work in progress, it is our hope you will find positive changes in the latest version Some of the changes include the addition of:
Daily Soup & Salad $14
Fried Pickles available all day $5
Side Tee Off Salad $6
Side Caesar Salad $8
*Option to add chicken to both of the above side salads
Chicken Caesar Wrap $14
Crispy Chicken Chopped Wrap $15
Pesto Chicken Sandwich $16
Loch Lloyd Club Sub $17
Soy Glazed Salmon (this is TO DIE for) $32
Nabe Japanese Hotpot (for all you vegans out there) $30
Grilled Cheese added to the kids menu $8
In addition to these added items, you will also find alterations to our BUTCHER BLOCK with cost effective alternatives. After this revision, we will turn our focus to the Spring when we anticipate another version of the menu to be released
In closing, I want to remind all of our members our Clubhouse is your Clubhouse. Members are allowed to use rooms in the Club, schedule permitting and reservation required, for up to 2 hours free of charge (assuming there is no additional set up or services being used).

That must mean us gems are in for some fun times on the greens in 2023!
