@ RYAN DEEGAN This place is incredible. The chef makes exquisite dishes that give any high end Asheville restaurant a run for the money. The golf is even better as the course is always in excellent condition. Awesome course for long hitters. Walk the front and ride the back if you want some light exercise. The gym is clean and all the machines are updated models. I'm happy as can be with every piece of this operation.

@MEGAN BALOT We got the wedding pictures back… and it was totally worth the wait! It was also totally worth it to make every alteration to my dress that I envisioned.

By now, I hope everyone is ready for spring time. We have had a few cold stretches here and there but overall, it has been a mild wet winter. Hopefully by the time this article has hit the press and is in your hands, we are past the cold temperatures and working our way into the warmer weather of spring! With that being said, please take a moment to visit the club’s website and view the golf calendar for 2020. There you will find all of our events as well as where you will go to register for each event you wish to participate in this year. Most all of our events have online registration and that typically begins 30 days from the tournament date. Also, we are currently working to get our Spring Fitting Days with all of our club companies that we carry in the Golf Shop. Be on the lookout for those days and times in the near future!

Many of you have enjoyed using our SkyTrak once again this winter and we hope you feel it has been a good addition to the club. I can tell you that the positive response we have gotten here at CCA has the company’s attention and they are looking at adding SkyTrak to some of our other facilities. Keep in mind that when bad weather is in the forecast, the hour time blocks for SkyTrak fill up fast!

As we get closer to warmer weather and the 2020 Golf Season, it is important to keep in mind some of the rules and regulations of the club and McConnell Golf. A few of note to keep in mind are:

General Rule #7: all food & beverages consumes on club grounds must be furnished by the club unless otherwise permitted Attire: Shirts are to be tucked in at all times, hats are to be worn in a forward facing position when on the golf course and/or practice facility, and changing shoes in the parking lot is prohibited. Hats should not be worn in the club dining room areas during regular business hours General Golf Rules #16: No personal coolers are permitted on club grounds Registration: All members & guests are required to check in with the Golf Shop prior to their round (this is very important in regards to the accuracy of your monthly bill) General Golf Cart/Pull Cart Rule #6: Only 2 golf carts per group unless otherwise approved by the Head Golf Professional. If you are a twosome, only 1 cart is permitted in the group. General Golf Cart/Pull Cart Rule #10: When carts are under the 90* Rule, carts should enter the fairway where the fairway begins and exit the fairway on the cart path side no closer than 30 yards from the green. General Golf Cart/Pull Cart Rule #12: Golf Carts & Pull Carts should be parked between the green being played and the tee of the next hole to promote faster play. Pull Carts are not allowed on tee boxes or fringe/collars of the putting green. Handicaps #7: For all major club tournaments, the primary member and/or spouse are eligible to participate. Dependents under the age of 25 are not eligible to participate in club events or MCG events.
