Positive Reviews
Here are some positive reviews we’ve received this summer. Excellent job to the whole staff for making these members experiences so fantastic. Keep up the great work!
“Had dinner at club tonight. Food was incredible. Service was excellent. Spoke to many members tonight who felt the same. Kudos to you, chef and staff. Good stuff.” (From Mr. Sigman)
“Just a short note to tell you what a lovely Fourth of July celebration we had. Everyone had such an amazing time. The food was incredible with so many options. People were so impressed. I want to make sure you know that the service provided by Alex, Ryan, Adam and Chris was exemplary. I would also like to tell you that our server Tom was outstanding! He worked tirelessly to ensure we had a fabulous experience. I’m so impressed with how it all came together. We are grateful for your leadership and choice in personnel. It truly was memorable. I hope you can rest today. I can imagine what an undertaking these events are. Also the cake for our friend was beautiful and delicious!!” (From Mrs. Bachman)
“Just wanted to tell you how beautiful the Club is looking outside, the pool, the signage, the rockers looking over the 9th hole, the golf course. We have only been members for five years but the leap toward lovely is exponential. I’m so proud of you and your team! It all reminds me of two special clubs I belonged to when I was a girl, Kirtland Country Club in Cleveland, Ohio and Essex County Club in Manchester, MA. There is something about traditions and a sense of specialness that makes a “community”. THANK YOU!!!! Bridens are your fans! My only suggestion is to bring back that Forest Hills Granola Bar with the FH’s logo or a signature unchanging dessert or snack! I haven’t noticed if we have the stamped cocktail napkins back yet! It’s those little things that remind us we belong to the Forest Hills Family!” (From Mrs. Briden)
