For those staying in the valley for the summer, we have a number of great Scottsdale Country Club, events planned and we also will be increasing our dining offerings at the Scottsdale Country Club, so please plan to spend your summer with us!

Scottsdale Country Club, will be open for lunch service Tuesday through Sunday and dinner service will also be available Tuesday through Sunday during the month of June. Further details of the fun

new Scottsdale Golf Club summer offerings can be found later in this newsletter, and please stay tuned for more great offerings from the Scottsdale Golf Club In an effort to provide as much information to our members as possible about the operations, we will utilize a portion of our upcoming summer publications to continue with the “Did You Know” column made famous by Paul Skelton in the past.

Did you know . . .

• The Scottsdale Golf Club was named the 5th Healthiest Employer in the Valley for small businesses recently by the Phoenix Business Journal. That is up from the 6th Healthiest Employer during the prior year.

In Club Operations, did you know . . .

• The Scottsdale Golf Club is forecast to have annual revenues that for the first time top $11,000,000, which is up from just over $10,680,000 this year.

• Each year the Club spends roughly $2.3 million to maintain the Scottsdale Golf Club course, including almost $500,000 for water and electricity.

Scottsdale Country Club Summer Golf Events

To start the summer season, we wanted to keep you apprised of some of the Scottsdale Private Golf Courses  agronomy practices which are in process, or will happen in the fall. A number of Scottsdale Private Golf Courses   have watched as the tee leveling project started on hole #1. This will continue for 9-10 weeks, finishing with the black/blue tee on #18.

Scottsdale Private Golf Courses  goal is to level the tee surfaces as some of the edges have fallen and the amount of tee space has been greatly reduced. Our plan to offset this is to strip the appropriate tees, install a heavy metal support band, refill with material, level it, and re-sod and grow it back in.

Each Scottsdale Private Golf Courses  tee has been evaluated for the amount of repair required. There are some worse than others, and some that require little to no maintenance. Because of this, we are evaluating each Scottsdale Private Golf Courses
   tee one at a time, and making the appropriate repairs then and there. On the right, you’ll notice several stages of the work.

We will continue to have the course open for play and will be moving tee markers around as need be. The USGA officials we are aligned with say this tee movement will not have any effect on your handicap.

Please take a few minutes to read these updates with information about upcoming Scottsdale Country Club events, and golf course conditions.

US Open/Men’s Day

On Saturday June 17th, there will be an 8:00am shotgun start for our Scottsdale Country Club Men’s Day event. There will also be an 8:00am Open Play shotgun for member play. There will be another open play shotgun at 1:00pm.

Sign-Ups for these are open on Scottsdale Country Club Foretees.

The Practice Green on the south side of the practice park has closed because it has been treated with chemicals to kill of the existing Bermuda Grass. We will be replacing the Bermuda Grass with a brand new strain of G12 Champion Bermuda. The green should be playable by early September.

We will be aerifiying our greens on July 10th and 11th. The Scottsdale Country Club Golf Course and Practice Facilities will be closed on July 10th. The Golf Course and practice greens will remain closed on the 11th, but the Scottsdale Country Club Practice Range will be open. The Golf Course and practice greens will reopen on July 12th.
