Club News
From The Desk of Patrick Lucas
Dear Members, It’s hard to believe that June is almost here! Membership is strong and growth continues to be fantastic. Thank you for your continued support of Woodcrest. Beginning Memorial Day Weekend, the pool will be open for weekends only 11am - 8pm. June 20th the pool will be open daily, 11am - 8pm. We are excited for an exciting pool season and have been doing a lot of work to prepare. This spring our team worked on cleaning out the area along the back fence of the pool patio to create more shaded space and incorporate the tent and pool area. There will also be an additional bar for pool guests this summer! The golf course is playing well, with the bulk of our rounds coming from our members. Now is the perfect time to fine tune your game with private instructions. Bill, Jay & Jamie are readily available to assist you with individual or group lessons. This spring we made quite a few course improvements, from drainage on the fairways, irrigation additions, treework, cart path grating and reclaiming of ornamental beds on the course, you will be pleased with the playing conditions. Please, as a reminder continue to follow the cart signs, rake bunkers, fix ballmarks and repair divots during your round. On behalf of the entire Woodcrest Country Club staff, I thank you for being a part of the growing Woodcrest family and if there is anything we can do, just let us know.
Best Regards,
Patrick Lucas

Socially Speaking... From the Desk of George Jordan Director of Food & Beverage It’s May! After what seems like crazy roller coaster ride of weather, hopefully soon we all will be feeling the warmth of the beautiful summer sun! Welcome back to all the snowbirds! The F & B Department is planning great summer events and remember the events are always more fun when you are there! The Mother’s Day Brunch was sold out as we had well over 500 reservations! The mom’s and families all were raving about how delicious the food was. Kudos to Chef Iggy and his great culinary team for the wonderful food. I received about ten emails and a few phone calls from happy members expressing their appreciation for a great member event. Memorial Day is Monday, May 30, 2016. Woodcrest will kick off the summer with an outstanding BBQ at the pool and tent. Entertainment for the entire family, including a DJ interactive dance party, games and races, glitter tattoos, popcorn, cotton candy and water ice. This event fills up fast, please be sure to make reservations as soon as possible. Woodcrest remains the premier place for great family value. We are looking forward to seeing all of you in the near future. Come out and enjoy your club! Also reminder, Woodcrest is a great venue to host your events. When family or friends are looking for a venue, please inform them of Woodcrest and our fine food, facility and service. Stop by Bar 1929 as the weather becomes warmer and enjoy al fresco dining on our beautiful deck! We are planning a series of musical entertainers for your listening enjoyment on Thursday and Fridays throughout the summer.
