Private Golf Clubs in Scottsdale respond to COVID-19

We wanted to take a moment to check in with everyone to make sure you are all doing well through this tough time.  Scottsdale private golf courses continue to be here for all of you as much as possible, from our modified Golf offering, our to-go Food and Beverage service along with our Ranch Essentials program and outdoor fitness classes.  As you have read in many of the updates from the Club we are all in this together but we need to make sure that we take the necessary precautions to remain safe.  Our “new normal” will likely cause quite a few changes at Private Golf Clubs in Scottsdale but we are viewing this as an opportunity to become better in everything we do while still being focused on delivering upon the mission of our Club.  We have challenged our team that while we are on a bit of a pause with much of the operation, now is the time to look to planning for the future and we can assure you that all are working down this path currently.  When we get back to normal, whenever and whatever that means, we want to share a lot of the new ideas with you!

Speaking of our Scottsdale Golf Club team, we would be remiss if we didn’t thank them for all of their efforts during this time!  They have been instrumental in keeping this Club operational as well as safe and without their hard work and dedication to the Club, none of this would be possible.  For those staff that aren’t able to work we have been in constant contact with them and will continue to be throughout the time that they are not able to work.  We can tell you that they are so very thankful of the Club and its members commitment to paying them through the closure.  The Scottsdale Golf Club members have the far pledged over $75,000 to help support the staff through the Employee Assistance Fund which will most definitely help us to be able to continue paying our team.  While many Clubs are implementing similar programs, many other hospitality organizations are not able to do so and thus have eliminated a majority of their staffing base.  The members of the Club have continually told us we need to do everything in our power to retain our great team and our commitment is to do just that!

As we move forward through the month of April and likely beyond, our goal is to continue with the same services that you see today but we will need your consistent buy in to make that happen.  We will continue having staff circulating around the private golf clubs in Scottsdale premises in the coming days and weeks to enforce the safety precautions we put into place to make sure that everyone is practicing the proper social distancing.  We make sure that everyone understands the importance of what we have put into play for YOUR safety and we need to be vigilant in following the rules as set forth each and every day.  We have had a number of wonderful comments from our members about the fact that we have remained open in some capacity and we don’t want to have to change that if at all possible!
