Once you reach your target, plant a flag in the ground and see if you have gone far enough. $20 entry fee and a golf shop credit to the winner. Please RSVP to the golf shop. Hope you can join us on the 4^th for our Grill Out!

Farm to Fairway

Romulo Contretas has been a part of Bright's Creek long before it ever was thought to become a golf course. Romulo whom the members and staff love to call "Romeo" started his journey here on the property in 1994. Back then he was managing the 4500-acre cattle farm, called Deep Gap Farm owned by George and Susan Levin.

Fast forward to 2004, the story changed chapters, and the property was purchased by developer Hidden Springs LLC to become "Bright's Creek." Being that Romeo was so familiar with the property and all of its history, it was only natural they would ask him to continue with them and make it what it is today, a golf club community!

With his 27 years invested working on the property, we've decided to ask Romulo ask a few questions!

What do you love most about Bright's Creek - Short, but effective - Its beauty.

What is a fun fact most people don't know about the property?

"The Thompson Cemetery" is located on Thompson street and Mr. Thompson himself is buried there with his three wives."

What are you most excited about for the future?

Seeing Bright's Creek grow and accomplish what it was originally set out to be!

We are so grateful for this Chat with Romeo, and for the many years of heart and soul he continues to put into being a part of this incredible property. Every story has its ebbs and flows, Bright's Creek is no different, enriched in its history, and now more than ever we are looking forward to watching the future unfold.
