LETTER TO MEMBERSHIP Dear Members, Happy New Year to you and all your families! We look forward to another great year together and want you to know our team is here for you. Our goal each day is to provide you with an experience you deserve as members of such a great club. The club should be your getaway, a daily vacation where you can enjoy great service, great food, and a fun experience at whatever activity you choose to use at the Club. As always please let us know if we can provide anything for you. 2021 was a record year for Holston Hills Country Club! We saw membership growth that is unprecedented in recent decades. As Membership Director, Dara Jenkins, has helped us reach new heights. When we were purchased by McConnell Golf in December of 2015 we had a total of 399 members. As of December 31, 2020 we had 471 total members. As of the time of this writing we are up to 557 total members. This is truly remarkable growth and is very exciting for the future of the club. 2021 saw the Korn Ferry Tour VisitKnoxville Open played at Holston Hills Country Club for the first time. The event was a huge success! The players were all very complimentary of the golf course and the hospitality. Our staff worked tirelessly without complaint and performed at a very high level. Thank you to our members that volunteered to help make this first year seamless and we look forward to an even better event May 9-15, 2022. Our goal is to become the most well respected tournament on the Korn Ferry Tour and 2021 was a great first step.
Congratulations to our Club Champions in 2021: ·Tanner Davis, Men’s Club Champion ~ 3 years in a row! ·Melissa Walsh, Ladies Club Champion ~ 8 years in a row! ·Todd Burgan, Men’s Senior Club Champion ~ 2 years in a row! ·Tessa Tarr, Ladies Senior Club Champion ~ On her 1st try! We also continue to make a strong showing on the State level as Todd Burgan won the TN Mid-Amateur Championship for the 4th time and Jeff Golliher won the TN Men’s Senior Match-Play Championship. We are so proud of our staff that we must stop for a minute and thank them for the effort they put in on a daily basis. So many of them show up each day ready to get the job done and they work together as a true team. McConnell Golf recognizes our team as very unified and in sync together and this unity makes it so much fun to come to work each day. Please take a moment to thank any of our team members you come across for all the great work they do and the effort they put forth on a daily basis. 2022 looks to be another record year as we continue to grow.
