November & December 2019 Newsletter

General Manager's Message

Dear Members, I hope you are having a great fall season and enjoying all the Club has to offer. The Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are upon us and the staff has planned many exciting events. Reservations are now open for all of the events through the balance of 2019.

Membership Growth will be our major focus again in 2020. Members bringing in members is the key to our success. You are the best source of prospective members. We are in good shape, breaking even annually as planned, accomplishing many capital replacement projects and beginning a capital reserve. Growing the membership will keep your dues from increasing and will allow for enhanced services and amenities. Please don’t forget three of our services that began this year; our Lawn Care Service headed by Chad Burke is going well. If you are a resident of Greystone and would like to explore the Club taking care of your yard maintenance, please contact Chad at lawncare@greystonecc.com. We have also begun pizza delivery inside the gates and recently added salads and wings. The hours of delivery expanded to include Saturday during the day and Sundays. The schedule is Wednesday through Friday 5-9, Saturday 12-9 and Sundays 12-6. Lastly, we have added food ordering on the courses from your golf cart. Place your order using the GPS screen at 9 tee and your food and drink(s) will be ready when you make the turn. I hope you have been able to enjoy these additions.

We are working on finalizing the 2020 budget and several new programs and services for next year. At this point, I can share with you that the dining options will be expanded, and this information will be shared separately as the plans are approved. Our major focus for capital spending in 2020 will be at the tennis complex, inclusive of the refurbishment of all courts and significant improvements to the physical plant of the building. The enhancements will allow for better viewing of the courts and increased social interaction. Greystone University continues making a difference. We have 14 employees enrolled in our current class, which is ready to begin section two of four. They are scheduled to graduate by the end of February. The team that is in the class is very enthusiastic and filled with excellent staff members.

All my best wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season. I look forward to seeing you around the Club.

Best regards,

Dave Porter General Manager
