General Manager's Scorecard
Greetings from Bright’s Creek,

This festive holiday season feels like the right time to share our warmest thanks for the opportunity to serve you throughout the year. Wishing you and your family and healthy and happy holiday!
 
Staff member, Charlie Nance and his wife Beth spent 4 days in Mayfield, Kentucky volunteering their time and experience for that community impacted by the recent tornados. The devastation is immense, and we are especially appreciative of their willingness to aid the people impacted in that community.

Progress continues on the footings and concrete work for the Amenity Barn. The lodge painting project is in the home stretch as the south and backside of the building are being painted this week. Paul Beam and his team are working on clearing areas along the cart paths and later this winter will repair some of the drainage erosion.
 
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 pro 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.
 
Today is Winter Solstice and the shortest day of the year, which also means the days will start to get longer and spring golf is not too far away.

On behalf of the entire associate team, we wish you a very Happy Holiday and look forward to the new year.
 

Regards and thank you,

Steve Alden | General Manager
