2022 JANUARY GARDEN OF THE GODS RESORT AND CLUB MEMBER NEWSLETTER
Dear Members, I hope that you had a happy and healthy holiday season and are excited about the prospect of an incredible 2022. The team at Garden of the Gods Resort and Club are thrilled to continue with planning and implementation of further property enhancements this coming year. We are refining architectural plans for a new arrival experience at the main lodge, renovation of the Grand View Restaurant, and the expansion and enhancement of our Lodge patio areas. Further announcements, plans, and timing will be shared with you as they are finalized. We will make these enhancements at the best possible times so as not to interfere with business and your enjoyment of the club as much as possible. The month of January will continue to see work progressing on our new pickleball and tennis courts for anticipated completion in May. Our Salon at the Spa will be closed for three weeks beginning January 9th and re-opening on February 1st for enhancement and re-modeling. All massage and facial services will be open along with STRATA Med services. Our golf, landscaping, and engineering teams continue to work on repairs and cleanup from the windstorm in December. In total, we lost 75 trees and limb damage to many others. The scale of the cleanup and disposal efforts are immense. We are very proud of our teams who were first in line with some incredible outside partners planning and preparing for the cleanup effort even as the storm was raging. In addition, teams of employees from all over our club were on hand first thing the following morning working together to get the Club up and running. It was incredible to see restaurant servers, spa therapists, and accountants among many others, working together to put our beautiful club back together again. While we have already opened nine holes of golf earlier than initially thought, we are pushing hard to open more as soon as possible. Aside from golf, you will see other areas of the property being repaired for some time to come. We have previously communicated and will continue to do so about the upcoming closure of the Kissing Camels Clubhouse and the Main Lodge building for our team members to conduct deep cleaning, preventative maintenance, and training later this month. • •
Kissing Camels Club House and Grille will be closed beginning Sunday, January 16th and re-opening on Sunday, January 23rd. Golf (weather permitting) will still be available during this time but the interior clubhouse facilities will be closed. Tennis facilities will remain OPEN. The Main Lodge building, including the Spa, will be closed beginning Sunday, January 23rd and reopening on Monday, January 31st.
