Once we have opened the lower level of the Clubhouse, our attention will turn to the upper floor, where the original hope was to have three- week windows for the opening of each restaurant (to provide adequate time for set up, training, and soft openings to be completed prior to members enjoying service in each space). It is possible we might need to compress those windows, and Daniel and I are currently collaborating on plans to accomplish these openings in a shortened timeframe, if necessary. The first venue to open on the upper level will be The Sports Bar, which we expect to be our most popular venue during the season. Along with Derrick Connor, Executive Chef, and Jimmy Hernandez, Director of Food & Beverage, Daniel and I will be working closely with the entire Clubhouse team to ensure that the quality of food and service matches the superb ambiance of the
physical space. In addition to a vastly improved member experience, thanks to the work completed by Bill Schmit and his team over the summer to replace and relocate the pumphouse, diners in the Sports Bar will now be able enjoy previously unseen views of Frenchman’s Creek and the South Course. Additionally, when the 9th Hole of the South Course is remodeled next summer, including the potential construction of an event lawn between the Clubhouse and the new 9 South, members will be able to enjoy significantly improved aesthetics and functionality in that area of the community for decades to come. While members are enjoying the new Sports Bar, we will be training staff in Alchemy and Opus, our upscale food and beverage venues. We will then move on to preparing the banquet areas for
