COO/General Manager's Message

(336) 275-8506

Dear Members,

I am excited to share that Greensboro Country Club once again has been honored with the Platinum Clubs of America award for the fourth time in a row for 2023 –2024. The voting body that elects the Platinum Clubs of America are General Managers, Chief Executive and Chief Operating Officers, Presidents, and owners across the nation. Platinum Clubs of America represent the top five percent of Private Clubs nationwide, providing Members a great sense of pride There are seven selection criteria, which include Universal Recognition, Excellence in Amenities and Facilities, Caliber of Staff and Professional Service Levels, Engagement and Commitment of Membership, Governance and Prudent Fiscal Management, Adapting to Changing Times, and the Overall Experience� There are only 150 Country Clubs that are Platinum Clubs of America.

Committed Members understand and accept the responsibilities of Membership. Collectively they are the custodians and the foundation of the most respected and successful Clubs� Members who represent the best quality are those that reflect the values and culture of their Club. They celebrate their heritage and faithfully observe timehonored traditions. These Members are educated to preserve the Club’s legacy by perpetuating the institution to provide for the next generation of Members. Engaged Members endeavor to attract prospective new Members who share the same values, integrity, and commitment� Should you like to learn more about the Platinum Clubs of America, please feel free to contact me�

In addition, Greensboro Country Club has also been awarded the designation of Distinguished Club from Boardroom Magazine for the eighth year in a row� To be a Distinguished Club is to be one of only a few, highly selected private clubs that are recognized as providing a Member experience at a level attained by only the finest clubs in the world. There are only 100 Country Clubs nationwide listed in this category.

We celebrate these awards and distinctions, and we hope you are proud to be a member at a club with such high accolades Please let us not forget that such accolades also come with a responsibility to continuously strive for excellence and continuous improvements.

The renovation project is finally coming to an end, and we are working our way through a very long punch list, which will take some time to complete. We are also very happy that Members can enjoy all the new spaces at the Club� We have received may comments on how much our Membership enjoys the 1909, the Family Grill and Sunset Dining Room� As the spring approaches we will also open the Donald Ross Terrace - as soon as temperatures permits us to do so Please also visit the Farm and join us for our Thursday Night Buffet, Sunday Brunch, or simply for lunch or dinner to experience some new additions to our menus.

Do you have a comment, praise or suggestion? We want to hear from you! Please feel free to send me an email at f eder@greensborocc org and I will make sure to get back with you�

Yours truly,

Friedrich Eder, CCM, CCE Chief Operating Officer/General Manager
