FROM THE CLUB FROM DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
Dear Members, I hope that each of you has had a great spring thus far and are ready for an exciting summer season at Grande Dunes. As you will see in the following pages, Grande Dunes is excited to provide a number of diverse events in the upcoming summer months. We are excited to be moving away from the many protocols and restrictions caused by COVID pandemic. We have reinstituted many of the services members are accustomed to enjoying including towel services in the carts, drink stations on the course, locker room showers, just to name a few. We are getting closer and closer to normalcy each day as most of our membership is now fully vaccinated. As conditions warrant, more adjustments to our protocols will be initiated. We will continue to examine our current schedule of activities and potentially add some events as we get further away from the pandemic. Our goal is to host activities and events to appeal to every member and their families. Please take time to go through the following pages and set your calendars for an amazing summer. Over the past six months our membership has increased by far more than we would have ever anticipated. Since the beginning of November, Grande Dunes has seen a net gain of 125 new members. Golf play is at record numbers and dining and social events are routinely selling out.I cannot thank our staff, in all departments, for their hard work and commitment over the past six months. Our staff has stood tall to the challenges of an ever increasing membership and the growth of our dining and social events. In July, please note that the golf course be closed July 5th – July 9th for aeration. This aeration will include all short cut areas; tees, fairways, and greens. During this time the Members Club Clubhouse will close for some needed maintenance items. The clubhouse will be closed Monday, July 5th – Wednesday, July 7th and will re-open for dinner service on Thursday, July 8th with Pastabilities. On behalf of the entire staff, I wish you and your families continued good health and we look forward to seeing you at the Club very soon. Sincerely, Brian Vest, Director of Operations I Brian.Vest@GrandeDunes.com
A NOTE FROM YOUR MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR It’s good to see summer just around the corner. This summer will be like no other at the Members Club. Lots of golfing and activities are in store for everyone which equals to lots of fun in the sun. The old saying is true; if you can laugh at it, you can live with it. Life is to be enjoyed, not endured. The truth is, "People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing" -Dale Carnegie. When you're having fun, you're making memories. Life only comes around once. So why not do what makes you happy and be around people who make you smile? We have definitely are having fun at the club. I sincerely thank all of you for the great support you have for your club. Because of you, the club is fun, versatile and thriving. Please continue to send your friends and family to see me in the membership office. I am sure that we have a membership available to fit their lifestyle.
