General Manager's Scorecard
Greetings from Bright’s Creek

A portion of the new furniture for the Members' Grille has started to arrive and will be placed this week. We hope to have the balance on site by mid-November. Pendant lights over the bar have been installed and the bar top installation was delayed until next week. The back bar cabinets will be installed in early November.
 
Grading and site work continues at the Amenity Barn as we remain on track for a 2022 opening.
 
The greens are nearly 100% recovered from aerification and we are back to full guest fees. Thank you for your patience over the past couple of weeks.
 
Landscaping in front of the Creekside Villa and around the Tennis and Pickleball courts continues. We hope to have this work completed in the next couple of weeks.
 
We gained 5 new Members during September. Interest in Bright’s Creek remains high for both Membership and Real Estate and we look forward to the continued growth of our community.
 
Our final Member-Guest for 2021, The Creek Cup, is this weekend and we look forward to a great couple of days on the golf course. We have modified our dining reservations for both Friday and Saturday evenings. Reservations will be taken in two seatings: 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm for both nights. Friday night we will feature a special Prix-fixe menu and Saturday night will feature a buffet. Please contact the Members' Grille for menu information and to make your reservation as seating is limited.


Regards and thank you,

Steve Alden | General Manager

The Mountain's are Calling
October Third Week: 3,000-4,000 feet elevation. The ultimate week for the most color includes large sections of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Check out Little Switzerland off the Parkway, as well as Bakersville and Spruce Pine. This also includes much of Pisgah National Forest near Brevard. Drive the Forest Heritage Scenic Byway. Top hikes there include Looking Glass Rock or Cradle of Forestry. North of Asheville, the best color will be Banner Elk and hikes to Table Rock and Hawksbill Mountain at Linville Gorge. West of Asheville, head to Maggie Valley, Cherokee, and Bryson City.

October Fourth Week: 2,000-3,000 feet elevation. The city of Asheville, French Broad River, and Biltmore show their best color, along with many of our small towns including Sylva and Saluda. It's a great time for a waterfall hike in DuPont State Forest or a stroll at the NC Arboretum.

November First Week: 1,000-2,000 feet elevation. Color fills the lush Hickory Nut Gorge at Chimney Rock. See the fall reflections on Lake Lure. Also, hike and camp at Lake James and South Mountains State Parks east of Asheville. The leaf progression concludes in the foothills around Marion, Rutherfordton, and Tryon Foothills Wine Country.
