THE PLATEAU

JANUARY | 2026

A Letter from Kevin Cohrs

Happy New Year, Plateau Club!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and were able to enjoy meaningful time with family and friends. I’d like to begin with a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who joined us for the Santa Brunch and the Pro Shop Holiday Party—it was a fun and festive way to close out the year together.

I also want to sincerely thank you for being such an important part of The Plateau Club. Your involvement, support, and thoughtful feedback are what truly make this community special. We are incredibly fortunate to have such an engaged, welcoming, and fun membership—it’s the heart of what makes the club what it is today.

This time of year offers a great opportunity to reflect on what we’ve accomplished and to look ahead with excitement. The past year brought meaningful progress across the club, and while there is always room to grow, I am confident in our direction and proud of the team we have in place. We remain focused on creating exceptional experiences through strong service, thoughtful events, and continued investment in our people and facilities.

Looking ahead, our goal is simple: to be the ultimate social club—a place where connections are built and friendships grow. We’re excited to kick off the season with a strong lineup of events, featuring a mix of new offerings and returning favorites.

Thank you again for your continued support. I look forward to seeing you around the club and to another great year together.

With gratitude,

Kevin Cohrs General Manager

GOLF

Words From The Shop

As we turn the page on another great year at The Plateau Club, we’re excited about what the upcoming season has in store.

We are currently in the interview process for our next Head Golf Professional. We’ve met with several strong candidates and are focused on finding the right fit for our club. Once the position is filled, my goal is to work closely with them to continue building on the golf programming developed in recent years; including expanding player development opportunities, bringing in additional companies for fitting days, hosting engaging golf shop events, and enhancing service levels to further elevate the member experience.

While we plan for the season ahead, we’re kicking off the year with a few fun January events and hope you can join us:

Indoor Putt-Putt - Sunday, January 11th

A fun, casual event for everyone—warm, dry, and a great excess to come challenge your friends at the club.

Rain or Shine 2-Person Scramble - Saturday, January 24th

A 9-hole, 2-person scramble with Stableford scoring.

TaylorMade Demo Day - Friday, January 31st | 10:00 AM – 3:30 PM

Our first demo day of the year! It’s never to early to come test the latest equipment and get properly fit by the experts.

We’re excited about the season ahead and look forward to seeing you all at the club.

Here’s to a great start to 2026!

Kevin Cohrs General Manager

Keeper of the Greens

Greetings everyone! I hope that everyone is having a wonderful holiday season. For a lot of you this is the time of year you put your clubs into storage and enjoy some of your other winter hobbies. However, there are still a number of us who keep our clubs on hand and are ready to play a round at any moment that the weather cooperates and gives us an opportunity. I believe that the course is here to be enjoyed and I will do my best to make it available as often as possible throughout the entire year including the winter months. However, there are times when the turf needs someone to look out for its best interests and protect it. Heavy concentrated traffic on the putting greens experienced from even a few people playing golf during freezing and frost conditions is enough to severely injure and even kill the grass. For this reason there will be days during these winter months where in order to keep our greens healthy, start times may be delayed, individual holes may be closed all day, or in some unfortunate and hopefully rare circumstances, the entire course may remain closed. Since this time of the year growth and recovery is at its slowest, any damage caused will take an extended amount of time to heal. The care we take of our course now will have a direct effect on the health and conditions come springtime. I appreciate and am thankful for your patience and understanding through these times.

Happy New Year! 2026 has arrived, and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead at the Club. As we turn the page on another great year, we want to thank you for your continued support, feedback, and participation are what truly make the Club feel like home.

January is all about fresh starts and building momentum. This year, you can look forward to menu refreshes, rotating Fresh Sheets, engaging dining experiences, live entertainment, and thoughtfully planned member events designed to bring everyone together. Over the past year, many of you asked for more events, more variety, and more opportunities to gather at the Club, and we listened.

As we continue to expand our programming, member participation is essential to keeping these events successful and sustainable. The last thing we would ever want to do is cancel an event due to low involvement or attendance, so we truly appreciate your support by joining us whenever you can.
