From The Desk of Patrick Lucas
On behalf of the management and service team, we welcome you to the 2015 golf season! Our goal is to create a welcoming atmosphere for each and every member by providing some of the finest country club amenities, coupled with professional and friendly service. As we enter the 2015 season, we hope that you will be pleased with the selection of golf and social events we have planned. Woodcrest seeks to build an experience that matches your interests and needs and allows you to maximize your membership to its fullest potential. This spring we will be creating a golf and social committe for those who would like to get involved. Back for its second season, Bar 1929 will be operating as a full service restaurant under Exec-utive Chef Michael Ince and Food and Beverage Director George Jordan. We hope that the newly crafted menu will appeal to all members and the public alike. The Woodcrest team is consistently hard at work servicing private events led by Ida Fraser, our Event Sales Coordinator and Stephanie Bacon, Banquet Coordinator. If you are interested in holding a private event at the club, please do not hesitate to reach out to any of our team members. We look forward to seeing you frequently this season and for many more to come! Your expe-rience as a member is our greatest priority, so please do not hesitate to contact me with any ideas, questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Patrick Lucas

Pro Shop UPDATEFinally, the golf season has arrived! We would like to send a warm welcome to new members and a “welcome back” to everyone else. The golf course is open daily, 8am - 6pm weather permitting. We are looking forward to another great season here at Woodcrest. Along with Jay Curry and myself, I am happy to announce the return of Jamie Shaffer to our teaching program. We hope that you are all as excited for the season as we are. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the Pro Shop.
Thanks,
Bill Torlucci & Jay Curry
Tournament Schedule
A full tournament schedule for both men and women golfers has been created for the 2015 season. A great way to start the season and meet new members is at our Spring Kick Off on Sat-urday, April 25th. A scramble format is planned and both men and women are encouraged to participate. The day will begin with a buffet breakfast at 7:30am followed by a shotgun start at 9:00am. The sign-up for this event is in the Pro Shop.
Tee Times
All members may book tee times up to two weeks in advance by calling the Pro Shop. When booking tee times, please have the names of all players in your group available. This will allow us to better serve you.
