After the summer months, Member Socials are returning to the Grand View on Tuesday and Wednesday, October 18th and 19th. Remember that we’ve now added a second day to help everyone enjoy this complimentary social gathering. You will be receiving an e mail with information when reservations open for the Socials, and we look forward to welcoming you back to those events.

The Fall Festival, which we added last year to great success, will take place Saturday, October 15th on the golf course driving range. The mechanical bull will be back along with the beer garden, tomahawk throwing, bounce houses, candy apple walks, and the popular “Great Pumpkin Patch”.

National Cupcake Day will be celebrated at the main lodge reception area on October 18th with Cupcakes for all! Be sure to stop by and treat yourself to a house made Cupcake prepared by our fabulous pastry team.

Kids’ Club has a busy schedule with Pumpkin Carving on the 22nd, The Haunted Trail with tennis games and activities on the 28th and closing the month with Trunk or Treat on Saturday, October 29th .

The next wine dinner is scheduled for Wednesday, November 2nd and features Vietti Winery, founded in the late 1800’s and located in the heart of the Langhe Hills of Italy.

Finally, there is still time and availability to book your holiday gatherings. Whether it be family or company dinners, lunches, or parties don’t delay. Please contact the Club soon so that your preferred dates can be reserved.

Dear Members.

GOLF GUEST REMINDER

It is your responsibility to register your guests with the Professional Staff in the Golf Shop prior to teeing off. This will create less confusion on the tee sheet. Members bringing repeat guests to the course, please remember our policy is 6 guest visits per year with the same guest. We appreciate everyone’s being respectful of this policy.

Don’t forget to fill in member/guest names to your tee times a minimum of 48 hours in advance of your starting time. TBD’s will be dropped after 48 hours.

As we move closer to winter and the possibility of frost delays, please make sure there are no carts in the native grass areas.

ADDITIONAL REMINDERS

We ask that you continue to use the sand provided to fill divots. Fixing pitch marks on the greens is imperative during the fall/winter months. Recovery time is much less than in the summer season.

Please make sure you are dressed appropriately when using the golf course and practice range. Proper attire consists of: Collared shirts that are tucked in, appropriate length bottoms, proper footwear (soft spikes/sneakers), and forward facing hat bills. When in doubt please ask a member of the Professional Staff for assistance.
