Club News Dear Members, Fall has finally arrived and it’s a great time to come play the course and enjoy the amazing autumn colors of the beautiful deciduous trees we have on property. The recent cool weather has been a breath of fresh air to the golf course helping the grass to rejuvenate from a long hot summer. The turfgrass has recovered a lot over the past two weeks I anticipate that the golf course will make a full recovery by the end of October. I am happy to announce that we will be embarking on a series of capital improvements to the golf course over the next six months. We have already begun some of the projects, including: new tee construction on five and seven, cart path root removal and grading. We will continue the projects which will include some bunker reconstruction, cart path work, tree removal and pruning, additional tee construction, drainage and irrigation installation. We will also be creating a fairway practice chipping area on the 19th hole as well as refurbishing the 20th hole in an effort to have practice areas that look and play similar to our golf course conditions. Over the next six months these projects and upgrades will make a dramatic impact on the quality and playability of the golf course for next year. We will also be expanding the seating area around the pool, looking into the possibility of up lighting some of the main driveway and restriping all the lines in the entrance and parking lot during the off season. We are also looking at the feasibility of replacing our golf cart fleet with new state of the art carts. The holiday season is fast approaching so be sure to make Woodcrest your special event venue. George Jordan and the sales team will be more than happy to help plan and make your event special. Lastly, we will be rolling out 2017 membership pricing and incentives in early November. 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. Best Regards,
Patrick Lucas Director of Operations

Pro Shop UPDATE I would like to begin by thanking all members who have participated in our summer & fall tournaments. A special congratulations to the 2016 Club Champion, Dan Close. Close retained his title for the third consecutive year by defeating Ben Keyser 3 and 2. The 36 hole match play final was decided on the 34th hole of the afternoon round. Ben took an early 2 up lead after the 9 holes and held that lead after 18 holes. After 27 holes Ben Keyser held a slim 1 up lead going into the final 9 holes. That lead was soon erased by the 28th hole when Dan made a par to even the match! Close never looked back winning three more holes on the last 9. A very competitive match from both players. With fall upon us, it is a great time to get your clubs regripped. Stop by the pro shop to check out our grip options. Our new daily greens rates for the fall and winter will be introduced soon. Remember, all guests receive a 20% discount on greens fees.

Socially Speaking... From the Desk of George Jordan Director of Food & Beverage Fall is in the air, the leaves are changing, pumpkin patches are everywhere and football is in full swing.. It is a great time of the year that brings family closer together. Woodcrest celebrated the first two nights of Rosh Hashanah and we had about 160 in attendance. The food and service received great reviews. We were even able to perfect our matzo balls by the second night! The holiday season will be here before we know it. That time of the year is always a great time to reflect on the past year and think of revitalizing towards the next. We are very motivated to continue to improve your experience as a member at Woodcrest. Thank you for all your support. As always, if you should ever need anything my door is always open. I welcome your feedback as well as your ideas. I look forward to seeing you around the club and thank you again for your membership. Come join us for these special events: Thursday, November 24 | Thanksgiving Dinner 2:30 pm - 5:30 pm Seatings on the hour. Featuring Woodcrest’s fabulous Deluxe Buffet Stations! Sunday, December 18th | Story Time with Santa Good Old Saint Nick will be here to read the children a Christmas story! Brunch seatings at 10:30 am And 11:00 am. Santa will appear at Noon. The food and beverage department would like to extend a warm thank you to the members who attended and support the events. Hope to see everyone at our fall and winter events. If you are looking to entertain this holiday season, there are still some dates available. Woodcrest has a fine catering department, so when family or friends are looking for a venue, remind them of Woodcrest CC. We can customize all events to fit any budget. Premium dates available for 2017.
All the best,
George
