President’s FALL MESSAGE
T
he season is “changing” here at Suntree. Fall is upon us and I could certainly stand for a little bit of cooling off. Despite the summer being significantly warmer than normal, our rain totals are roughly “average” for year to date. El Niño has had a heavy impact on our weather patterns this Summer and will be a major consideration for the remainder of the year.
Scott Miller CLUB PRESIDENT
I appreciate everyone’s patience with the golf course summer closure schedule. All phases of the assessment improvement projects have been, or nearly are, completed. These major projects were managed in addition to all of the standard agronomic tasks that needed to be done. Nick, Anton, Corey and the whole team really put in a tremendous effort. The results of excellence in agronomic care and planning are really panning out. I’m very excited for “prime” golfing season. The summer season has been bittersweet for our professional golf staff. Ryan Williams has moved in and feels like a natural fit at Suntree. We’re lucky he joined us. While it is exciting to see Ryan Just and Braeden Zanni growing and advancing in their career trajectory, I also miss having them around. Seeing Christian Tsamoutales step up into his new role has been great. I’m also very excited to see Caroline Masson join the team and complement our golf education programming - Operation 36 is in full-swing and everyone is enjoying the experience. The Suntree BOD is also putting in work for the Club this year. As a group, we continue to emphasize stewardship and strategic planning. We have had numerous meetings with ELM as we navigate Club and membership needs. Be on the lookout for a town hall this quarter to give more updates on our progress. Budget meetings are also moving along. Year-over-year we have seen more thoughtful and robust discussions on how to balance Club needs, fiscal responsibility and long-term planning. This process is a collaborative one between the Board, the Finance Committee and department directors. I feel like there are so many things happening at Suntree every single day, and so much more to come! Next time you’re at the Club, say hi to someone you don’t know. Try something you haven’t done. Enjoy all of the experiences and fellowship that Suntree Country Club has to offer! See you around the Club, Dr. Scott Miller, MD FAAOS Club President

M E SSAG E from the GEN ER AL MA NAGE R Dear Members, he Leadership Team and I look forward to seeing everyone in the coming months, especially with the upcoming holiday events and numerous athletic events. I’d like to thank the committees and my leadership team for partnering in the planning of the upcoming social and athletic events which I hope all of you take advantage of.
T
Athletic and Social Events The Golf, Racquets and Food and Beverage Departments have been very busy updating recurring events and adding new events to the Club’s calendar. Both our Director of Golf, Ryan Williams and our Acting Food & Beverage Director Trent Hoare have been reviewing past surveys and working with their operational committee to adjust. These adjustments will be made to all repeating events, and they are adding more events onto the calendar as well. I am excited to see great membership participation in them and to continue to learn about your member experiences. These operational departments have made significant strides in listening and adjusting to your feedback so please keep it coming. Golf Courses Update The Board of Directors, Leadership Team and Golf and Greens Committees remain strongly committed to our Agronomics First initiatives. I recognize the inconvenience that multiple weeks of aerification closures have caused the golfing membership. As we shared, the Drill & Fill and Maximus Dry-Jecting processes are necessary to build health greens and putting surfaces. The good news is that the disruptions are over, and we are in a recovery phase going into the fourth quarter of this year. Our Director of Agronomy, Nick Garibay, is planning for a wet fall and winter by adjusting his agronomic practices to ensure the best playing conditions possible. We have benefited over the last few weeks from the prior year’s aerifications of our fairways and the internal work the staff have done to get our golf courses to continue to drain much better than in years past. Their work has been noticed not only by our membership but by guests travelling to Suntree to play golf. Great job by the team. Capital Assessment Projects Four of the six Capital Assessment Projects have been completed. • Driving Range This was the first project to be completed in Q1 of this year and has received great feedback from all our golfers and guests. The feedback on the turf mats selected has been wonderful as well as the improvement in the landing and sitting areas. We will continue to monitor the use of the mats and replace them as we need to maintain the practice experience our members expect.
• Irrigation
The Classic Course received all new irrigation heads as well as additional irrigation in areas that once remained dry and weed-ridden. The Challenge Course received additional irrigation in areas that once remained dry and weed ridden as well. These dry areas will now be fully maintained,

• Bulkheads
The final work on the bulkheads was completed during this last course shutdown and Nick and his staff have resodded these areas. For the coming weeks, please be conscious and play them as ground under repair.
• #1 Challenge Landscape
This project has been completed but remains in need of some addition minor work to address thin areas on the fairways and along the roadside. Nick and his staff are working with the sod and sprig farms to address these areas, and we expect them to be upgraded shortly.
• Maintenance Building and Material Storage Bins
The last two projects are the residing of the existing Greens and Grounds Maintenance Building and the construction of Material Storage Bins. We have received the permit for the residing project which will begin very shortly, and the material storage bins will be the last to be completed. We expect the projects to be completed within the assigned budget.
Legacy Clubhouse Update Our Facilities Maintenance staff discovered some soft areas on the supporting pillars on the front of the Clubhouse as well as an area on one of the staircases leading to the Suntree Room. The Club engaged site and structural engineers to review the damage and propose a repair. Those repairs are expected to be completed by early October, and we will plant new landscape in that area as well. We appreciate your patience while the construction crews are working in those areas. ELM Suntree Country Club’s President, Dr. Scott Miller and Steve Lovett, from Ervin, Lovett & Miller (ELM) shared an update recently regarding the Club’s master plan. Master Planning for a campus of our size is a long process and both ELM and the Club are doing their due diligence in taking time to research building and site documents and integrating the memberships feedback from the survey and multiple focus groups. Once both ELM and the club have more information to share with the membership, we will call a meeting with all of us. I wish all of you the happiest holidays, safe travels and joy in spending time with friends and your loved ones going into the holiday season. Thank You, Rob Stone, Jr, CCM, CCE, LCAM General Manager/COO

s we begin another season at Suntree Country Club, I want to personally welcome everyone back and provide an update on what has been an extremely busy and productive summer for our Agronomy team. This summer brought plenty of heat, rainfall, rapid turf growth, and an extensive list of projects across both golf courses. While our normal summer maintenance practices continued, our team also worked through several major improvements, including St. Andrews landscaping, bulkhead projects, irrigation head replacements, additional greenside bunker sand, Drill & Fill, Maximus sand injection, landscape improvements following last winter’s hard freeze, and numerous in-house projects throughout the property. Many of these projects are not simply cosmetic improvements. Practices such as Drill & Fill and Maximus are designed to improve the long-term health and performance of our greens by addressing organic matter, drainage, rooting, and soil structure. The additional bunker sand, irrigation improvements, and landscape work are also part of our continued effort to improve both playability and the overall presentation of the golf courses. We have also replaced all greenside bunker rakes throughout both courses, as many of the older rakes had become broken, worn, or faded. While this may seem like a small detail, it is another piece of improving the overall appearance and experience of our golf courses. One area where we continue to ask for the membership’s help is cart traffic management. Last year, we implemented designated entry and exit posts, and we believe they have helped tremendously in reducing concentrated wear. When entering or exiting the fairway, please look for the greener, healthier turf whenever possible rather than repeatedly
www.suntree.com
Nick Garibay D IRECTOR OF A GRONOMY driving through an already worn area. Spreading traffic gives the turf a much better opportunity to recover. To everyone who has been following these guidelines, thank you—it truly makes a difference. There are still many areas throughout Suntree that we know can be improved, and we look forward to continuing that progress. Summer can often feel like a game of catch-up for an Agronomy team. With the combination of heat, rainfall, and long growing days, bermudagrass can sometimes grow faster than we can mow and maintain it. Even with the use of plant growth regulators, keeping up with nearly every area of two golf courses during peak growing conditions is a challenge. As temperatures begin to drop and growth starts to slow, our team will be able to spend more time refining details, improving presentation, and addressing areas that may have gotten ahead of us during the summer months. I am proud of what our Agronomy team accomplished this summer and equally excited about the work still ahead. We are better than we were last year, but not as good as we will be next year. That mindset will continue to drive us as we improve Suntree each season. Thank you for your continued support of our team and for helping us care for the golf courses we all enjoy. Nick Garibay Director of Agronomy

ello Suntree Country Club I am Billy Specht, and as of this past August, I am the new general manager of the Suntree Master Homeowners Association, Inc.
As a licensed community association manager in Florida, I bring a wealth of experience in management following a decade as general manager of The Great Outdoors Nature, RV & Golf Resort in Titusville, and 15 years as a manager with Delaware North, operator of the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. I am a Florida native and have lived here in Brevard County for over three decades. I am already working on improving communications with Suntree homeowners by updating the SMHA website, creating a newsletter, and improving payment methods. I am also working with the Board of Directors to improve our lakes and stormwater systems, enhance our road monuments, and replace the playground equipment at Interlachen Park. The new playground will be installed for our community’s children in time for the holiday season. I see myself as a steward to the 4,500 homeowners here and a partner with the Suntree Country Club. The success of Suntree Country Club is most important to maintaining strong property values and curb appeal here in our Suntree community, and it is a wonderful amenity for our residents.

hankfully, the heat and humidity have begun to back off, and fall is right around the corner! It has been a successful summer and know that the staff appreciate the support and patience from the membership during the course closures. Many projects have been completed over the past few months and major kudos to Nick, Anton and Corey for their efforts - it's looking great out there, guys! Off the course, the summer junior programming went very well, and the first installment of our Operation 36 has been a resounding success with over 40 members participating! Don't worry if you missed this go-round, as we will kick off another session right after these have been completed and will run in November and December. The addition of Caroline Masson to our instructional team has been a home run and we couldn't be happier to have her on board with us. I'm very proud of the enthusiasm, efforts and knowledge displayed from Steve, Austin and Caroline - great job with Op. 36 thus far! The SLGA is back as of mid-September, and we are excited for a great season on and off the course with our Suntree ladies! We have a fun season planned ahead and are off to a good start with slightly over 40 ladies in attendance at the Quarterly play day and meeting. Clinics, Fashion Shows and Group Golf Trips ahead, it's going to be a great '26/27 season, and we are very excited.

As fall approaches, new merchandise drops will happen regularly, so be sure to stop in periodically and check it out. Also, don't forget that we have accounts with a substantial number of vendors and can easily (and will happily) place special orders for you. One pair of shorts or one logoed shirt, no problem - just let us know how we can help. Finally, be sure to click thru the Golf E-News every Wednesday if you can.

We’ve officially finished our Intraclub Pickleball season, as well as our Member-Guest Tournament, and both were great successes. It has been fantastic to see so many members competing, improving their games, and—most importantly— enjoying time together on the courts. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make these events special. Now, we’re looking forward to fall pickleball! With the weather beginning to cool down and the playing conditions becoming more comfortable, October is going to be an exciting month at the Club. Our Mixed and Men’s Pickleball Leagues will be getting started in October, giving everyone another great opportunity to compete, meet new playing partners, and enjoy some friendly competition. I’m especially excited about what’s ahead for the fall and spring pickleball seasons. We have a lot of fun planned, and I’m looking forward to seeing our pickleball community continue to grow and get stronger. Whether you’re a longtime player or newer to the game, there will be plenty of opportunities to get out on the courts, improve your skills, and enjoy everything our club’s pickleball program has to offer.

It has been wonderful seeing so many members enjoying all that Suntree has to offer over the past few months — from pool days and summer gatherings to time spent simply connecting with friends around the Club. As we head into fall, there is plenty to look forward to! The coming months are filled with events and activities that make this time of year especially fun at Suntree. I’m particularly looking forward to seeing members enjoy our Halloween parties, our annual Turkey Trot 5k, the Golf Cart Parade, and all the holiday celebrations in between.
