Greetings from Bright's Creek,

A quick round of information-

For the past couple of months, we have been working on a re-modeled website. This re-model includes adding several new pages, consolidating information for easier access, and elevating our real estate section. We are targeting late June or early July for the official rollout.

Thank you to the seventeen teams that participated in last weekend’s Spring

Member- Guest. Congratulations to all of the winners and eventual champions. Our next club golf event is the Club Championship, with details and registration information contained later in this newsletter.

For our lodge guests, we have completed replacing all of the bed linens, room towels, and bathrobes. As a reminder, Members receive the lowest preferred rate available while staying in the lodge. Please contact our concierge desk for more information and to make a reservation.

The Water Wheel and new landscaping at the Greeter’s Cottage are nearing completion. Thank you to POA Board Member Wendy Troyer for spearheading this beautiful new upgrade to the community’s first impression.

Our new Amenity Center will include two-lane bowling installed by Fusion Bowling. Fusion Bowling specializes in small, private bowling facilities with state-of-the-art equipment. These are regulation-sized, commercial-grade bowling experiences. We anticipate installation starting late this summer.

We are making the turn into the summer season. With the warm weather (and hot weather on the way), the course is greening up quickly. Greens are fully recovered from April aerification, rolling quickly and smoothly.

Regards and thank you for your support of the club,

Steve Alden | General Manager

I am excited to announce that we are bringing Operation 36 to Bright's Creek. Operation 36 is an instructional platform that helps all ages and abilities refine their golf game. Created back in 2010 by Mr. Matt Reagan and Mr. Ryan Dailey, this program has exploded in the Golf Industry. It is known widely around the country as the industry leader in creating and sustaining lifelong golfers.

The initial theme behind Operation 36 is to shoot 36 or par for 9 holes. Each student will start from 25 yards away from the green and play 9 holes, trying to beat par or 36. Once a student has passed this level, they move back to 50 yards, then 100 then 150, and further back until the golfer is playing an associated set of tees. The clinics are based around games and fun...not tedious or boring drills.

Learning golf from the green backward is the most beneficial way for golfers to have fun and gain a plethora of skills along the way. I plan to have more information in the coming weeks as this comes to fruition. Learn more about Operation 36: Operation 36 Website
