Monthly

There was no Golf/Greens Committee meeting for the month of April.

Annual

·       Adjusted tee boxes and restored “regulation” bunkers will prompt a Texas Golf Association (TGA) rating study later this year, ensuring our course meets competitive standards.

Elevating Member Experience

·       Marshal/Starter Program: Community volunteers now assist with pace of play and course flow, fostering a welcoming environment.

·       Beverage Cart & Cart Porters: On busy weekends, porters ensure carts are clean and ready, while the beverage cart adds convenience and boosts 19th Hole revenue.

·       Expanded Cart Barn & New Lease: To address increased demand, we’ve extended the cart barn and leased additional carts, reducing shortages and wait times.

Recreation Beyond the Fairways

·       Pickleball Court Lighting: Approved after resident feedback, new lights will extend playtime for this rapidly growing sport.

·       Hole Sign Sponsorships: Over $6,000 has been raised for new, professionally designed hole signs, which will be ordered soon. Thank you to our sponsors for their support!

Pardon Our Mess

·       After decades and decades of pool use, it was finally time to replace our pool. This project has been in the works for some time and in February we finally broke ground on a new pool. We will also have a new covered deck area, seating and tables which will create a more inviting environment. We are very excited as this is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our shared amenities.

Looking Ahead

·       These achievements reflect our shared commitment to innovation and community. As we plan for 2026, we invite your ideas and participation—whether through volunteering, sponsoring projects, or simply enjoying the fruits of these efforts.

A heartfelt thank you to every staff member, committee volunteer, and donor who made this progress possible. Together, we’re ensuring our community remains a destination for relaxation, recreation, and connection.

 Warm regards, Rick Walterscheid

Greens Committee Board Leason

Trustee Rick Waltersheid was absent, and Deta Rogillio reported that the Golf/Greens Committee met on March 11th. Josh Dixon updated the Committee on conditions of the greens and upcoming course improvements. The Committee announces changes to the tee box locations: gold tees on holes 3 and 16 will be moved back; gold and silver tees on hole 18 will be moved back; and red tees on hole 11 will be moved back to near the silver tees so that the hole will return to a par 4 four for all. After the bunkers are completed; greens regain their grasses, and tees moved, the Texas Golf Association will be contacted concerning re-rating the course. The Marshal/Starter program will become more frequent as good weather returns. Volunteers are needed for this program. The mat for the concrete driving range pad will be glued this week and the hydro spray grasses will be laid.
