There are many more surprises in store and we are pleased to host this event in appreciation of members’ continued support. On Sunday, the Club will host a 9-hole golf event open to members and their guests, which will include a bountiful BBQ at the conclusion of the day. On Memorial Day Monday, guests of all ages will be excited for the re-opening of the newly refurbished Alpine pool area. With a fresh pool menu, interactive games, new playscapes for the kids and a bounce house, Memorial Day at Alpine is sure to be a can’t-miss event. Once again, we thank all members for their patience during the renovation process. We feel we have designed a Club that members can be proud of, and also one that inspires new members to join. As we evolve as an organization, we will continue to discover innovative ways to enhance the member experience – all while maintaining the respected heritage that embodies Alpine Country Club.

Evolve Fitness Can Help Your Game Read below to learn how a fellow Evolve member is directly benefiting from the personal training received at Evolve Fitness:
I have been training with one of the trainers at Evolve for almost two years. Since I started I lost 15 lbs, and increased my strength and flexibility. All of this has helped me to improve my golf game. I have gained 10-15 yards off the tee and have been a far more consistent driver, as well as a better shot maker in the fairway. Thanks to my Evolve trainer, my game has improved and I can play competitively with my son and his friends, all 30+ years younger than me. ~ Jim Salisbury (N. Scituate, R.I.)
