Notes From The Master Board

  • July 2025
  • BY Mary Peabody, Director

June 1 begins Hurricane Season – we hope for a mild season but if you are staying here, please take storm preparation seriously. We will do our best to communicate with you about any weather-related changes to operations.

HIGHLIGHTS

– We welcomed Shane Mills to Cross Creek as our new (and first!) Manager of Golf Operations. Shane, a PGA Associate, will be working closely with Marleen to learn the systems involved in the operation of the Pro Shop.

– Treasurer Frank Maranto, reported, as of the end of April, we are $81,472 ahead of our budget projections. This is good news going into our slower season. Financial reports are posted to the Cross Creek website but you must be logged in as a member to view them.

– We have booked several private events over the next few months. This means the restaurant/bar may have to be closed to members.  We understand closures can be inconvenient for members and we do our best to get the word out as far in advance as possible.  We appreciate your flexibility as we work to accommodate these special events and enhance our bottom line during typically slow months.

-Thanks to all who attended the first open forum on Cross Creek dining. Approximately 30 people provided many great suggestions about potential changes and what not to change. A virtual session is scheduled for Saturday, June 28. In July we’ll be compiling the feedback into a report that will be shared with the community sometime in August.

– Cross Creek Environmental is completing the final cleanup of Phase I of the Lakes Project and has completed the bid for Phase II. The next step is for the Board to review the new bid. Details on the timing of future work will be available soon.

– Last year a conversation was started about a potential addition to the clubhouse.  Several members of the Board met with the architect for some preliminary planning, but we need member input. Keep your eyes open for a survey that will be coming out later this summer.

Reminder, we have a new email to contact the Master Board, [email protected] to ask questions, clarify policies or raise an issue you think the Board should address.
