The Meadow is our year-round F&B operations and our family friendly casual dining area. The Meadow faced a few challenges by the end of the summer as we had to shift some leadership staff around and we again lost a lot of service service staff in August. Chad Mason completed his 5 th season at Forest Highlands and Chef Fred completed his 10 th season. Both leaders are seasoned F&B professionals and do a great job for the club. The staffing issues meant training new staff in the middle of the season, which can create some service shortfalls. Happily, there were only a few missteps, and the winter season should help strengthen this new team. The New Patio was a big success and member comments were very positive. This area was requested a lot for seating and was very useful for events and our weekly themed dinners. It did not do as well for lunch seating since we had limited sun cover, but we are looking to add Umbrellas or shading for next year. The Meadow has one big advantage over the Canyon in that the bar and the lounge have so many seats. This area can be used as open seating for the many walk-ins that come in. The casual nature of the Meadow contributes to more walk-ins. This can sometime be a burden on the kitchen when so many bar covers get fired to the kitchen at once. We are working to have the bartenders help prevent this by staggering tickets more. The bar actually had 2,598 covers this year compared to 1,532 last year.
Dining flow can still be an issue at the Meadow and often confuses members when they have issues making reservations. Because the dining room is so visible to members it often confuses members
