L E A D E R S H I P
Dear Champions Run Members,
As we reflect on this summer, we are truly grateful for your continued support throughout the year. With the arrival of September, we have an exciting fall schedule ahead. However, before diving into the new season, there are a few maintenance tasks we must address.
Golf Course Maintenance
In early September, our Agronomy Team will begin the essential process of aerating the greens. This will start on Tuesday, September 3rd, when both the course and clubhouse will be closed. Please note that the course will remain closed until 11:00 a m on Wednesday, September 4th
The aeration of the fairways and tee boxes will follow on Monday, September 9th, and Tuesday, September 10th. During this time, both the course and the driving range will be closed to ensure the process is completed efficiently We understand the importance of golf to our members, but this necessary maintenance will help us maintain the championship conditions we all enjoy.
Starting the week of September 30th, we will begin leveling the bottom two tiers of the driving range and resodding with Low Mow Bluegrass The top tier was completed last year, and we expect this work to take two weeks. While the range will be closed during this period, the short game area will remain open.
Swim Facilities
We are eagerly anticipating the Labor Day festivities and are pleased to announce that the pool will remain open through September 15th. Please mark your calendars for our Annual Doggie Dive on September 15th As always, we encourage you to use the mobile app to schedule your pool time reservations
Clubhouse Events
We have an exceptional lineup of fall events planned, with something for everyone in the family Here are a few dates to save:
Pickle Ball Championship: September 13
Doggie Dive: September 15
Fall Festival: September 29
Family Bingo and Pasta Night: October 8
Trunk or Treat: October 25
Please stay tuned for our updated Fall Calendar of Events, which will be on the mobile app and sent through the Peak of the Week after Labor Day weekend
Sincerely,
Andy Reetz CEO/General Manager

Hey everyone!
I hope you're all doing well and enjoying your time at the club. I wanted to take a moment to highlight some exciting things we have going on in the dining room that you won’t want to miss First off, have you tried our weekly specials yet? We’ve been rolling out some fantastic new dishes that could end up on our permanent menu. It’s a great way to explore new flavors and see what might become your next go-to order. If something catches your taste buds, don’t be shy let myself or your server know! Your feedback is really important to us, and we’d love to hear what you think.
Now, a quick heads-up for Thursday, September 19th Our kitchen will be closed for dinner that evening because we’re hosting a special banquet event But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! We’ll be offering a specialty buffet that night, and it’s going to be something special. Make sure to keep an eye on the Peek of the Week for more details as we get closer. Trust me, you won’t want to miss it!
As the weather starts to cool down and fall begins to roll in, there’s no better time to take advantage of our patio. I’m looking forward to seeing you around the club and in the dining room Don’t hesitate to say hi or share your thoughts I’m always here to make sure you have the best experience possible.
Take care and see you soon!
