As we enjoy the height of summer, I am pleased to report that the course has been in
excellent condition, with positive feedback from both members and guests. I would like to
take this opportunity to update you on the latest developments and initiatives at Vicars Cross Golf Club.
Course Conditions:
The course has been performing exceptionally well this season. Our Course Manager has
made a full recovery from Achilles surgery and is back overseeing operations. The summer
works programme was successfully completed with minimal disruption to play, and we
anticipate that the improvements will enhance drainage in key areas, ensuring the course
remains playable throughout the year.
Staff Changes:
We are pleased to announce that Jamie Else, our Head Chef, has appointed Lucy as a new
addition to our kitchen team. However, we bid farewell to Rhianne, who has moved on to
new opportunities, and we wish her all the best in her future endeavours. The menu has been refreshed, with new additions, including options available later in the day after the kitchen closes.
Social Activities:
Our Men’s and Ladies’ Captains, along with the front-of-house team, continue to organise a
variety of engaging social activities. Their enthusiasm and dedication have been instrumental in the success of these events. Please mark your calendars for upcoming events, such as the Family BBQ (Sept 7th) and the Forever Freddie Dance Night (Sept 20th). For more information, please contact Martin or Nicky behind the bar.
Swing Room:
The Swing Room is open for bookings through the Foremost website, managed by our Pro
Shop. To reserve the room (£15 per hour or £25 for two hours), please reach out to Martin
O’Connor or myself for more details.
Function Suite:
The Dining/Function Room has recently been redecorated and refreshed as part of our
ongoing efforts to improve our facilities. Members interested in booking the space for
Christmas parties, birthdays, or family events are encouraged to contact the team for further
information.
Ladies Toilets and Showers:
We are pleased to announce the completion of the renovation of the Ladies toilets and
showers. A special thanks to Tony French for overseeing this project. This upgrade is a
significant enhancement to our club’s facilities and represents a continued commitment to
improving our amenities.
New Member Inductions:
Our induction sessions for new members, led by the Captains and myself, have been highly
successful. These sessions are designed to introduce new members to the club’s culture and operations, while also helping them connect with fellow members. Over the past seven
months, we have welcomed more than 100 new members to our club.
Marketing and Advertising:
Members wanting to advertise or promote their business need to contact the office team and we will arrange a meeting to discuss the opportunities to advertise on the tees, Clubhouse and our website which is currently being upgraded.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the club, the course, or your membership,
please feel free to email me at enquiries@vicarscrossgolf.co.uk or visit the office.
Happy Golfing!
Philip Beard
General Manager
