HAPPY EASTER!
April Hours of Operation
Pro Shop
Spring is here, warmer weather will follow, and your club will soon
be your second home again. The staff is busy preparing the club for
a great new season and anxious to see everyone. The new “Gators”
eatery at the pool house is coming together, projects on the course
are being completed, new menus are being prepared, and the Pro
Shop is full and open for business..
Crestwicke is not only investing in the future through facility
improvements but also investing in the future with an improved,
innovative and creative young team. In the Club business to
consistently deliver a product you have to invest in a quality staff. At
Crestwicke we are investing more in our core staff and are very
excited about the direction we are going. Crestwicke has a young
staff that is eager to improve, consistently evolving, and focused on
what Crestwicke needs to do well. Kyle and Johnny in the Pro Shop,
Amy in Sales and Marketing, Logan and Fred in Food and Beverage,
Lisa in the office, and Ray and Andy in the Grounds Department are
all contributing to making Crestwicke a great club.
Warmer weather will bring an increase in membership activity and
we currently have only about 25 “Discover Crestwicke” golf
memberships left. We also have only 10 Sport memberships left until
that category is full. We have over 100 current members receiving
monthly credits on their accounts through referrals of new members.
If you know of anyone interested in membership, bring them out,
show them what a great club we have, and start receiving your
credits!

From the Golf Shop
I would like to welcome back all of our members and also welcome our new members to the Club. I’m excited
to get the season started. I have just returned from Florida where I attended the Level 2 training in becoming
a Class A PGA Professional. I will have one more Level next fall to attend. Johnny Schwaller will be my First
Assistant again this year and Chelsea Harris will be joining the Professional staff in late April. Chelsea was an
accomplished player at the University of Iowa and has also played professionally including the Women’s US
Open. Chelsea is currently the Assistant Coach at Illinois State University for the girls golf team. She will bring
great teaching experience to our Junior program, Ladies clinics, and the entire membership. Both Chelsea and
Johnny are very passionate about golf and excited to be a part of the Crestwicke team. Thanks for your
support and I hope to see you soon at the Club.
