General Manager's Scorecard
Greetings from Bright’s Creek

The weather is looking great for the second half of the week with unseasonably warm weather predicted for Friday and Saturday. We hope to see you out on the course for some late-season golf. We have started our off-season course work and look forward to preparing Bright’s Creek for 2022.
 
The construction trailer arrived on site and work has begun on the Amenity Barn. Exciting to see concrete being poured and the footings laid out. Work continues on painting the Members Lodge - at this point in the season, the weather will play a significant factor in completing this project.
 
For those of you traveling on I-26 this week, please be aware that there will be overnight road closures and delays. According to NCDOT, the duration of these closures will be from 8:00 pm to 6:00 am, December 14th through 17th. They have commented that traffic volume could alter the start times for this project.
 
The Member’s Grille will be open for dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. If you have special dining needs or would like to host a party, please let us know. We would be happy to make special dining arrangements and reservations.
 
As mentioned last week, with the holidays coming up we have special operating hours for the Club.
 
  • On Christmas Eve we will have a shotgun start (weather permitting) at 9:00 am and both the course and grille will close at 3:00 pm.

  • We will be closed on Christmas Day.

  • New Year’s Eve we will have a shotgun start at 9:00 am and the golf shop will close at 3:00 pm. The Member’s Grille will be open until 8:00 pm and feature a special prix fixe menu. Reservations are appreciated and can be made through the concierge desk.

  • Our golf course will resume normal hours on New Year’s Day, and we will feature brunch on both Saturday and Sunday. If you are interested in staying overnight, we are offering a New Year’s package including lodging and dinner with an add-on golf option if the weather permits. Please contact our concierge team for more information.


Regards and thank you,
