Dear MCC Members, What an exciting time to be a member of McAllen Country Club. The Pool House/Tennis Center remodel should begin soon. Please see the renderings below. A huge thank you to your Board and Sports Committee for their dedication to MCC. By popular demand, we will once again begin the lunch buffet from 11 2pm, starting Friday, September 2nd in the Oak Room. We will start with only Fridays (Sunday Brunch continues), and depending on how well it is supported, we plan to expand more days Roost and Hickory kitchen will remain open, as usual I look forward to seeing you around your club, and be safe, 23061

Initially, the Hickory kitchen was built for cold sandwiches, salads, and soup. During the first days of the pandemic, we started Sunday brunch as an ala carte (buffets were highly restricted then), and the tiny kitchen pumped out food for 200 people in an hour and a half span!! That's 2 2 minutes per person!! Shout out and thank you to all F&B staff. Temoshi

Fall will be in full swing soon, and I would say time to pull out the sweater, but you won't need it On the rare occasion it does get chilly, why not come in and sit by the hearth, sip on some cider, and eat from our new lunch buffet? That's right, the lunch buffet will be available every Friday starting September 2nd. We have revamped and updated the buffet but with some old similarities. We will have the Mexican buffet on Fridays to start, and it's a bit different from the Sunday brunch taco station if you were wondering Look for it on the F&B calendar and plan for it with your friends The salad bar is also available and desserts Reservations are highly encouraged I think everyone has noticed the club is alive and well; we have full dining rooms, maxed-out reservations for Sunday brunch, and seating in our overflow areas, which means our kitchens are busting at the seams. We have pulled off some miracles, but I know depending on luck is not the answer We are working on plans to restructure the kitchens, renovate, and update them The process is long, expensive, and takes many steps to accomplish. Until then, we will continue to push forward, progress, and improve ourselves and the club. I hope you all can understand how much we have dedicated ourselves to improving the process to better your experience. I am not making excuses its just that I wanted to communicate and share with you my thoughts and know that we are doing everything imaginable to get you good food, hot, and as quickly as possible Fun fact:

My staff and I can’t thank all the parents and kids enough for the fun and exciting junior golf camp we had this summer. There were two golf tournaments held for the kids to show off their skills as well as test them out against their fellow campers
Quota is a point based scoring tournament. You start the event with a quota and as you play, your goal is to better your quota. The Two Man Championship and Two Woman Championship will take place on October 15th and 16th The event will have a shotgun start at 9am both Saturday and Sunday A quick reminder that if you wish to play in any member golf tournaments; you must have an established handicap
The 24th playing of the Millennium Cup is set for November 19th and 20th. This event is one of the most popular golf tournaments It is the club’s “Ryder Cup” style event This year ’ s captains, Chuck Gomez and Kenny Hartley are looking forward to making this year ’ s event very special After all, it is a draft year Yes, there will be a draft this year The team captains will be having a Draft/Trash Talking Party The captains will do a “live” selection of their players during the draft These new teams will compete in a Best of Five series over the next three to five years to hang their flag in the Golf Shop as the champions It will be very exciting and tons of fun for everyone involved.
