Greetings from Bright’s Creek
Site work continues on the Amenity Barn area as we have started construction on the stone retention walls. We are substantially complete on the Creekside Villa landscaping and have completed this year’s landscaping work at the tennis and pickleball courts. Our Member’s Grille is about 75% completed. The back bar will be installed the week of November 8th and depending on delivery schedules, we should finish by mid to late November.
In honor of Veteran’s Day on November 11th, we will host a closest-to-the-hole contest on the Hog Hole benefiting Guiding Reins. Guiding Reins uses the relationship between horses and humans to help veterans, military personnel, first responders, and their families cope with life’s challenges and build beneficial and effective relationships. Alicia Sama guides our Equestrian Team and has been a leader with Guiding Reins to assist our Veterans and rescue horses. We are proud to support this great cause and recognize our Veterans at the same time.
With the holiday season rapidly approaching we are reaching out for your support to recognize our valued employees. It has been a tradition of the membership to graciously contribute to our annual Holiday Fund and your support is so important to our team. This fund is an equitable way to recognize all the Club’s associates in each of the departments, and your contributions are distributed to the staff based on tenure at the club and hours worked. As associates pledge their loyalty to the Club each day they are on the job, the Holiday Fund really makes them feel appreciated by the membership.
This year we will automatically apply a $100 Holiday Fund contribution as part of your November statement. If you would like to alter this amount in any way, just call or email the Club with your request. Thank you all for your continued support of Bright’s Creek Club and the staff who strive to make your visit most enjoyable.

Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. The Member’s Grille and Golf Shop will close on Thanksgiving day. If you would like to play golf, you can reserve a cart in advance.

All players should plan on teeing off no later than 9:30 am and we ask that all carts be returned by 3:00 pm. We will resume our normal operating hours on Friday, November 26th.
If you do not want to cook your own Thanksgiving dinner, we will be offering complete Thanksgiving dinners to go. Please contact our Concierge desk for menu information and pricing.

Don’t forget to save the date of December 11th for our Annual Member Holiday Party. Stay tuned for details.
