Club news Dear Members, Once again I thank you for your continued support of the club. I am excited to report that our membership and member usage continues to grow, exceeding our expectations. The club has been bustling with lots of activity in all areas, especially the pool, golf course and member events. There are a lot of exciting things taking place at Woodcrest and I am looking forward to the future as the club continues to grow. Our member usage at the pool has been very strong so far this summer. In an effort to accommodate the increased demand for seating, we have added 20 new chase lounge chairs with foam pads, which has been very well received. We have also added and upgraded a large number of the umbrellas as well. Due to the growing popularity of the pool facility, we have already begun thinking about off-season capital improvements to the pool facility in an effort to better serve our members and guests. Please pass along any ideas or suggestions you may have on how we may enhance the pool area for your enjoyment. For the remainder of the summer and throughout the fall, we will continue and build on our Thursday and Friday happy hours with live music. The happy hour series with live music in Bar 1929 has been a huge success. I only see this getting bigger and better, especially as we move into the fall season. Please mark these events on your calendar and be sure to stop by. Woodcrest would love the opportunity to host your special event. Be it a holiday party, wedding or Mitzvah, George Jordan and his team are sure to make your event special and memorable. Please reach out to George and our sales team to design and customize your special event. Make Woodcrest your special event venue. On behalf of the entire WCC team, I thank you for being part of the Woodcrest family. If there is ever anything I can do for you, please do not hesitate to let me know. Kind Regards,
Patrick Lucas
Director of Operations 856-429-4300 x 107 PLucas@WoodcrestCountryClub.com
Happy Hours Continue this fall! Woodcrest Country Club 3.

The Senior Championship will be held Sunday, August 21st. Finally, the Junior Club Championship will be August 24-25th. Congratulations to Noah Schwartz, photographed below, who shot a 71 at Sandy Run Country Club in Oreland, PA at the 32nd Jock MacKenzie Junior Tournament, one of the oldest running junior events in the GAP. Noah tied for first and lost in a sudden death playoff. Great playing all around!
Our club championship and flight matches are in full swing along with the president’s cup matches. Some upsets along the way as well as some great playing by our members. Stay tuned for full results. Any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me at the Pro Shop.

Socially Speaking From the Desk of George Jordan Director of Food & Beverage Well to say the least it has been quite a hot summer! Looking forward to a cooler autumn! As we head into the end of summer, plans are underway for the many fall and winter activities and events. To our Swim Club members: The fun doesn’t end when the pool closes. You and your family can still enjoy all of the dining and social events until December 31. In July, Woodcrest hosted our Men’s Member Guest Event. The weather was dry and scorching! All in attendance raved about the food and great golfing! The Ladies Member Guest Tournament was held on Tuesday July 19th. The theme this year was “Diamonds are A Girl’s Best Friend”. A special thank you to Mrs. Andy Freedman for all of her work in planning a great event. Chef Iggy outdid himself with the great luncheon. Thursday, July 28 brought us our premier summer event, Lobster Night. All in attendance feasted on one & a half pound lobsters served piping hot to every table. The night began with a fabulous cocktail hour featuring, a raw bar and amazing passed hors d’oeuvres. Any members interested in forming a social committee please call George at 856-429-4300 ext. 108 or email gjordan@woodcrestcountryclub.com. I would love input and ideas for new member events. Look for emails to learn more about all of the upcoming events. Remember it is very important that you make a reservation for all events so we are better prepared to serve you. When family or friends are looking for a venue to host a party please inform them of Woodcrest and our fine catering department. Pick the date and well take care of the rest. Our pricing is very reasonable and the food and service are always outstanding. If you are interested in hosting a holiday party for your business there are dates still available! Contact the event sales office at 856-429-4300 x 198.
