President’s Message

Welcome to late summer at ACC!. From last summer’s rain that caused us to close the course over 20 times to one or two times this year, the course has held up well.

The club has been very busy with golf tournaments, tennis matches, swim meets, summer camp amongst many other activities. In just a few weeks summer will be over and our most scenic time of the year approaches with a full spectrum of events to join and enjoy.

Our board meetings have focused on capital improvements (many of which we can’t see) and our very active committees are producing great experiences for all.

Key areas included:

T HE LAND SALE : We have our contract in hand and it has been reviewed and approved by our counsel. Soon we will have the final maps posted at various locations in the club. We will be meeting with our neighbors and reviewing the plans after input from them over the past few years. The town will review and let us know their findings. One exciting aspect is a trail system that will run through the neighborhood and in the wooded area connecting to other town trails; details will be on the maps.

C APITAL I MPROVEMENTS : include and are not limited to a new pool pump, the chiller being installed any day now, and continued work on golf course drainage in preparation for cart path improvement.

2022 still has substantial impacts on our operations from inflation. We face challenges in all aspects of the cost of being in business, including high inflation, higher labor costs, food and supply costs, and high delivery fees. We are doing our best to maintain costs but expect some challenges here.

Membership levels and renewals have remained strong. The current membership count is 240 golfing and 110 social.

Our staff continues to work hard and focuses on a great member experience. We all want to wish Marc Prosser good luck in his career change and relocation. Marc did a great job on the course and developed a great team.

Our commitment to you is to have a safe and enjoyable place for you and your family to relax, socialize and play. Thank you for being part of making ACC a memorable place we all enjoy; please feel free to contact me at president@albanycc.cc with any questions, concerns, or compliments.
