Dear WHCC members, Greetings. It appears it’s time to say goodbye to the hot summer temperatures and welcome in a cool and crisp fall season. We hope that you enjoyed the 2017 season at West Hills. If you have any feedback about this season, or what you would like to see next season, please do send an email to jcroce@westhillscountryclub.com or stop by the main office and ask for Jen so we can chat.

To finish off the month of August, we will be featuring A Taste of Greece. Chef Pat and Chef Dio will be preparing and presenting Chef Dio’s family recipes. Moving into September, on Saturday the 1st, Jim Doyle will be lighting up the course with Glow Ball with the Pro. A finger-food buffet and lots of fun on the golf course make this an event that is not to be missed! The following Monday, September 4th, we will wrap up the season with our annual Labor Day celebration.

Just because the season will be over doesn’t mean the fun stops! As you may or may not know, the 91st annual Feast of San Gennaro starts on September 14th.
