PJ COUNTRY CLUBUpdates

From The General Manager Of The Port Jefferson Country Club, Tom Natola

We are thrilled to see an incredible amount of golf being played this season. Our course is averaging over 5,000 rounds of golf per month and shows no sign of slowing down. In addition, we are also offering beginner and intermediate clinics to cater to all skill levels.

Membership numbers are at their highest in the past few years, with members from other private clubs expressing interest in joining our exceptional facilities. We have received multiple positive comments from our members who are thoroughly satisfied with the course conditions and our fantastic food and beverage vendor, TPG.

Rest assured that we are dedicated to bringing back our Racquets Facility, and we hope to share exciting news with you very soon. The facility will feature both Har-Tru tennis courts and paddle ball courts, ensuring a wide range of activities for our valued members. Stay tuned for future updates.

Port Paws A Success

Despite the rain canceling 2nd day!

The 2023 Port Paws Dog Festival event took place from July 14th through 16th, and both Friday and Saturday were exceptional days. Unfortunately, Sunday's events were canceled due to the dangerous rainfall. In prioritizing the safety of everyone involved, the Village made the tough call to halt the event.

More than 70 canines took part in Friday evening's 'TRY IT' segment. Saturday's event drew a crowd of over 800 a endees and had nearly 30 exhibitors, including SCPD and Suffolk County Sheriff canine units.

We are thankful to our presenting sponsor, King O'Rourke, as well as our volunteers, parks, DPW, and code departments.

The event once again will benefit to the Port Jefferson Harbor Education and Arts Conservancy 501 (c)3.

Port Palooza

A Hot day in so many ways!

The live mini music festival took place July 29th, noon to dusk - on two stages with a total of 10 LIVE musical acts ranging from middle schoolers playing live for the first time - to Port Jeff's own Cole Fortier Band - to a new addition to the lineup South Bay Soul (Pictured). The day was filled with relaxation and musical bliss accented with Kilwin's ice cream in the park!

The new stage added this year at the Eagle statue (25a and main) featured four talented musical acts, including "Allie Sandt" (Pictured), which received rave reviews. The band features a Port Jeff resident on bass, and many members are music industry majors at the State University of Oneonta.

The weather held out perfectly until around 7:53 pm when the Keenan Zach Sunset Jazz Trio was cut slightly short by the event chair, Kevin Wood, who helped safely get everyone out of the area.

We thank all the sponsors listed at www.portpalooza.com as well as the support of the Port Jefferson Harbor Education
