GOLF
We are excited to announce several updates and initiatives as we gear up for the 2024 golf season at Forest Highlands Golf Club.
SOFT OPENING PLAN FOR 2024: The decision to implement the proposed"Soft"Opening Plan for 2024 is driven by our commitment to enhancing member experience, optimizing operational efficiency, and improving golf course conditions. By strategically staggering the opening of our golf courses, practice facilities, and F&B operations while maintaining our original opening date, we aim to accommodate the expected weekend influx of members and facilitate essential pre-season agronomic practices in tandem.This approach not only ensures optimal course conditions for the summer season but also provides opportunities for savings and more effective staff training programs. Additionally, we will be offering a Par 3 experience on the Meadow range during the afternoons, when our courses are dedicated to our agronomy team. Innovative and unique events such as this demonstrates our commitment to enhancing member satisfaction and accommodating early arrivals. GUEST FEE ADJUSTMENT: As part of our efforts to ensure the sustainability and continued excellence of our club, the Board has decided to adjust our accompanied 18-hole guest fees from $150 to $180. This increase, the first in several years, gets us closer to aligning with the fee structures of top clubs in Arizona and prestigious mountain clubs across the country. We believe this adjustment will allow us to maintain exceptional value for our guests while also supporting the ongoing improvement of our Club and services. Please note that this 2024 adjustment solely pertains to guest fees, and there will be no changes to immediate family guests or cart fees. In the coming years, we will continue to examine rates of like clubs and increase golf fees in the best interest of Forest Highlands as needed. PERSONNEL CHANGES: We have some personnel changes to announce. Ms. Meghan Whittaker, our esteemed colleague and Head Professional at the Meadow, will be departing from our team. In her place, Ms. Sarah Johnson will be stepping into the role of Operations Manager for the Meadow.Additionally, we are excited to welcome back Mr. Steven Mauser, who will be taking on the role of Head Professional at the Canyon. We have full confidence in their abilities to continue providing the elevated Forest Highlands Experience we have all adore.
