A Message From The Board of Directors
Cramer Mountain Members,
We are in full swing at Cramer Mountain with the beautiful weather we have had. The golf course is greening up, the pool and cabana are preparing to open, and the pickleball courts will begin shortly!
This is a very exciting time of year with all activities picking up. Be sure to stay up to date on upcoming golf, tennis, pool, and restaurant events on social media and the website. As a prospering family club, we want to provide as many activities as we can for all members.
Our first Food Truck Monday will take place on April 22. These will continue through October on the last Friday of each month. Live entertainment and restaurant specials have been a great hit for the restaurant. We encourage you to join us on Fridays if you have not stopped by to try a special or listen to our talented entertainers!
Golf and tennis both have lots on the agenda for April. We hope to see you all participating in these team and individual events.
As always, we want to offer full transparency about your club. Please reach out to a board member with any questions or concerns. Thank you for helping us create a wonderful place.
Regards,
Cramer Mountain Board of Directors
