A MESSAGE FROM YOUR GENERAL MANAGER
Happy Fall!
As we strive to provide an exceptional experience for all our members, I want to highlight the importance of making reservations for club facilities and events. Reservations are essential in ensuring that we can offer the highest level of service and convenience to everyone.
By making reservations:
1. Efficient Resource Management: We can allocate our facilities, staff, and other resources more effectively, ensuring availability and maintaining our high standards
2 Enhanced Member Experience: With reservations, we can reduce wait times, prevent overbooking, and provide a more personalized experience, contributing to your overall enjoyment
3 Operational Excellence: Advanced planning allows us to prepare adequately for your visit, ensuring that everything is in place for a seamless and enjoyable experience.
4 Reservations for large events (July 4, Labor Day), helps to ensure we can take more reservations if we know several weeks out Food ordering and additional seating can be ordered to meet the demand if justified; however, when reservations all come in a day or two prior, we do not have the time to react to increase food orders and secure tent rentals
We kindly ask all members to make reservations for dining, golf, tennis, and other club activities whenever possible. This small step greatly aids us in maintaining the quality and exclusivity that you have come to expect from our club
Thank you for your cooperation and continued support. I look forward to seeing everyone at the club
Cheers,
David M Wilson | General Manager
A NOTE FROM YOUR FOOD & BEVERAGE MANAGER
Greetings Everyone,
It has been my pleasure to serve the members this past year Now that August is over and I have completed my first full year at Old North State, I thought it would be a good idea to give some answers to a few of the frequently asked questions. Are reservations required? While reservations are not required, they are highly recommended Reservations allow us to ensure we have ordered enough food, have adequate staffing, and can plan for the night Reservations will always take priority over walk-ins
Is there a dress code in the dining room and does it differ if sitting on terrace?
Our dress code is country club casual and no hats worn inside Collared shirts and pants are required in main dining areas. Shorts and skirts are allowed on the terrace
Do we charge a corkage fee?
Yes, a corkage fee of $15 per bottle is charged when you bring wine in. Exceptions are: if you purchased the wine from us or you have a wine locker there is no corkage fee
As always, it is a pleasure to serve you!
William Davis Food & Beverage Manager

FROM THE KITCHEN
A NOTE FROM YOUR EXECUTIVE CHEF
Hello Everyone,
I hope everyone has had a chance to come and dine at the lake and enjoy our summer selections. I know we are ready for the flavors of fall We are preparing our fall menus full of soups and stews, braised and smoked meats, local produce, and a warm dessert or two Over the last three years of being the Chef here at The Old North Start Club I think I enjoy the fall at the lake the most
We appreciate every member and guest that takes time to grab a bite to eat by the lake We are trying are best to grow as chefs and I hope it shows
See you at a table by the lake,
Isaac J Spencer Executive Chef
Notes:
Can I make it ahead?
This recipe tastes best when cooked and eaten right away for the tenderest pork However, you can make it ahead if you like
Make the dish, then quickly cool, cover and refrigerate. Remove from the fridge 30 mins before you want to reheat it to take the chill off it, then reheat, covered, in the oven at 180c/375F for about 20-25 minutes, until piping hot throughout. You'll need to stir the sauce a couple of times during re-heating, and you may need to add in a splash of water or stock to help loosen the sauce
Alternatively, you can reheat in a pan (covered) over a medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes, until piping hot throughout Stir a few times and add a splash of water or stock if needed
Ingredient swaps
Swap out the mushrooms for other vegetables - such as chunks of courgette or green beans.
Replace the pork shoulder steaks with pork chops or pork loin steaks
Swap out the cream for creme fraiche for a slightly tangier finish

A NOTE FROM YOUR COURSE SUPERINTENDENT
Fall is finally here, and it’s time to begin preparing all of our bermuda, including the greens, for dormancy. There are three key tasks that we complete in the fall that will promote optimum green up next spring (1) raise the height of all bermuda except for the rough
This allows the plant to store more carbohydrates to efficiently break dormancy next spring (2) Make a moderate application of potassium to improve disease resistance and winter hardiness (3) Apply a preventative fungicide for spring dead spot disease that appears during spring green up. If all goes well, these tasks will be done without any disruption to your round. Enjoy the great fall weather!
Best Regards, Chris Chapman Golf Course Superintendent

RECREATIONAL FLYERS
A NOTE FROM YOUR DOCKMASTER
As summer is fading and fall is approaching, the air is a little less humid and a little more crisp The busy lake calms to a more peaceful and tranquil scene. Fall boating is probably the most enjoyable boating time of the year The days aren’t as hot, but the water is still warm enough to enjoy swimming, wake surfing and fishing gets better Also, fall gives us a great opportunity to correct any issues with trailers you may have. We have already begun doing some
trailer repairs If you need any work done on your trailers from new wood and carpet to new winch straps or wheel bearings, please contact the marina at (336)-461-4456, so we can schedule a good day for you Our hours of operation will change as we enter the fall I will list them below
Get out there and enjoy the lake during this amazing time Before you know it, winter will be here! We will also start winterizing after Labor Day. If you don’t plan to use your boat or jetski during the fall and winter months, please give us a call and we will schedule it to be winterized for the season. Thank you and we hope everyone has a great rest of the summer and early fall!
As always, if you have any questions please feel free to call the marina at 336-461-4456.
Thanks and have a blessed day
