A MESSAGE FROM THE GM
Dear Members,
Summer may have taken its time to get to Jackson Hole but it is here now and things are definitely in “full swing” at Teton Pines.
I am exceptionally proud of the team’s commitment in ensuring that Teton Pines is a genuine “lifestyle” choice for all of you, our members, by offering plenty of events and activities to create magic moments and fond memories.
In addition to an already active calendar with couples golf, men’s and ladies’ day, racquet clinics and socials, weekly cocktail parties, and our weekly lobster nights, we have introduced numerous new activities including periodic trivia nights, menu features each night of the week and a variety of field trips and summer pool parties. It is our mission to make Teton Pines an encompassing and highly social atmosphere where members prefer to spend their time.
Fortunately, the wait list for membership is growing as we find that more and more individuals interested in membership are already living in the valley. Membership referrals from existing members have increased significantly, which is great, although membership attrition has decreased. Thus, if you do have friends or associates that are interested in membership, the sooner that you refer them, the sooner that they can get in.
There has also been a lot going on with our Clubhouse Upgrade and Expansion project. We are currently hoping to secure the necessary permits to construct the swimming pool change rooms and snack bar as early as next spring with the upgrade and expansion of the Clubhouse the following year. The Club’s priorities remain to address the tunnel and update the façade, add swimming pool changing rooms, add a complete fitness center, improve the pro shop and expand the kitchen and Clubhouse dining. Be reminded that we have established a dedicated email account, masterplan@tetonpines.com for comments and suggestions and we will be providing periodic updates on our Club’s website under the “Clubhouse Expansion Project” found under “My Club”.
As mentioned in the previous issue of Whispers, to further strengthen the foundation of the Club, the Senior Management team attended a daylong session to discuss what it means to be Teton Pines and our objectives as a Club. After closely studying and interpreting the Club’s Mission and Vision, we identified the core values we felt are necessary to live the Club’s Mission and make steady strides to further achieve our Vision. Those core values were identified as Respect, Family, Sustainability, Consistency, and Care & Passion. We look forward to making decisions consistent with our core values and making Teton Pines, the community you choose to be a part of.
And with the golf course renovation fully completed, we successfully completed an annual inspection to ensure that the native waterways have been left in their natural condition. In line with our core value of sustainability, this is very important for the Club as well as the community. This is also aligned with Teton Pines’ commitment to being one of a select group of golf courses across the United States that is Audubon certified. Audubon certification is an international program that helps protect our environment through environmental planning, wildlife & habitat management, chemical use reduction & safety, water conservation, and water quality management.
It is our passion to bring members together and build a culture focused on the community by providing engaging activities and outstanding experiences delivered by our exceptional team of employees. We want your thoughts of Teton Pines to be full of memorable moments, such that, there is no other place you would rather be than with your family and friends at Teton Pines.
See you at the Club,
