President's Message

Dear Greystone Members, Fall is in the air. It’s hard to believe we are entering the fourth quarter of 2023. With the onset of fall, we are entering into the busiest time of the year for our Club. The weather allows more outside activities across our club. The Lakeside activity center is super active with pickleball and basketball. The tennis leagues are in full force, and the golf courses are overflowing with play. The Club has continued to offer great dining options at Aqua and Cellar 91. The specialty events such as Steak Week, Lobster Night, Wine Down Wednesdays, and the Wine Dinners have been a big hit at our Club. Thank you to our members for getting out and enjoying our Club! Once again, our goal is for Greystone to become the number one entertainment destination for our members. That said, I would like to tell you about our board retreat back in July. Greystone Board Members had a retreat to Baltimore to meet with a company called Chambers. Chambers is the company that designed the remodel of the Legacy Clubhouse. As board members, we have voted positively for Chambers to move forward with the design of a Founders Clubhouse remodel. The Founders Clubhouse is over 30 years old and could use the update. We are happy to announce that by the spring of 2024, the members will begin to see drawings for an update of the Founders Clubhouse. As membership has grown, our current clubhouse has simply become too small to hold events for its members. Of course, this remodel is several years away and will require a member vote. As a member-owned Club, I feel we must continue striving for the best Club possible. My fellow Board Members and I were blown away by the initial plans. I cannot wait for the membership to see what can be done with our Clubhouse. On the Golf front, I’m happy to let you know that all of our major projects are coming to an end. We’ve had two years of course interruptions. Last year, of course, with the Legacy Course update , and this year, the Founders irrigation project. The Founders irrigation project will come to a close by the end of November, and we will reap the rewards next spring. 2024 will bring uninterrupted golf with both courses being open six days a week, a majority of the year! There is simply so much good happening here at Greystone. Our leadership team is committed to making this the best Club in Alabama with your help, of course! I feel we can be one of the top clubs in the southeast over the next five years. As I move into the last quarter of my presidency, I can genuinely say it has been a blast serving Greystone. I genuinely love our Club and can’t wait to spend another 20+ years here. Sincerely, Todd Reeves odd Reeves, 2023 Club President
