From The Desk of The G.M. By Jason Skinner
Having turned the corner to 2015, we excitedly embark on our third season here at Woodcrest Country Club and are thrilled you have chosen to do so with us. We continue to see an influx of both new members for whom Woodcrest was a long aspiration and those that called Woodcrest home for years. Our juniors program has seen a significant increase in popularity as has the Woodcrest Juniors Summer Camp, the future of our club. Events tailored to meet the interests of the contemporary golfer and the entire family have proven to instill the family values Woodcrest embraces. To observe the comradery of all members and their families alike is to witness the fruition that was envisioned for the club. In our commitment to providing the optimal country club experience, we continue to implement policy, procedure and structure to ensure hospitality and quality are paramount. While the past two season’s realized the addition of a contemporary bar and outdoor patio with gas fireplaces, a renovated pool and updated event spaces, we are balanced by the grand history that is Woodcrest. Unquestionably dedicated to the prosperity of Woodcrest; the friendly and professional golf team led by Bill Torlucci, Director of Golf and the pinnacle of golf course agronomy, Patrick Lucas of Performance Golf Management. To complement Woodcrest’s golf operation, we have established an alliance with a skilled tennis Professional and a lively and active swimming pool recreation scene replete with activities and events. A lively and diverse event calendar has been slated for 2015 and we look forward to seeing all of our members and their families share in this storied club while creating lasting memories as generations have before us. We look forward to seeing you and catching up at our upcoming Member Reception in March. Until then, stay warm and be well.
