2023 - 2024 Golf Event Guide

2023 - 2024 Tournament & Event Guide 1

Dear Member, It is with great pleasure that we enclose our new Tournament Schedule for the 2023-2024 season at Isleworth Golf & Country Club.

Isleworth Golf & Country Club is many things to our Membership, but the golf course, facilities, staff and golfing community have always been and continue to be a fundamental part of the Isleworth experience.

As you look through this booklet you will notice some substantial changes in the calendar to accommodate a successful event schedule given the closure and renovation of the course beginning April 15th.

Starting in Mid-January, the maintenance team will apply herbicide to the course to begin the process of eradicating the current turfgrass to prepare for the renovation. The turf will brown out, but the course should play firm and fast.

We are attempting to play the guest events before the course transitions to this phase, so we will be playing our Member Guest Showdown much earlier in the season than normal. As the winter continues on, most of the events being held will be member-only to maximize member enjoyment before the impending closure.

Knowing that the course closure will be an inconvenience to the membership, we have several options for you to enjoy golf while the course is closed. These options are outlined in the Master Plan and include new reciprocal courses and range hours seven days a week.

We are grateful for your support, your passion for the game and your shared enthusiasm for this upcoming golf season.

Please let me know if you have any questions or needs. I, along with my entire staff, stand ready to help make this season most enjoyable for all.

Wayne Sheffield President/General Manager

Brett Cafferty Director of Golf 3
