West Orange Country Club Approaches 50th Anniversary now instructs dozens of juniors at every level, with discounted rates for members of the club.
It was another picturesque Saturday morning on the back patio of West Orange Country Club recently, the view affording a glimpse of the palpable buzz that has become the norm as the club approaches its 50th anniversary.
“We’re not only bringing new members to West Orange, we’re introducing new golfers to the game,” Chase beams. “And one of the best parts is watching the older members take so much pride in seeing these young kids enjoying themselves at the club.”
Longtime members and newer ones were making the turn toward the back-nine as part of the regular rotation of weekly games. Head professional Brendon Chase was working with a swarm of third-grade girls on the practice green, all clad in pink golf gear, each high-fiving the others after every made putt. Families were frolicking in the nearby refinished swimming pool, as a few toddlers took their first lessons. A foursome of ladies had just finished a friendly doubles match on one of the new tennis courts and were now enjoying a relaxing brunch.
Beck, one of the majority owners. “And that’s exactly what happened a year ago. The community showed us they care.”
The view provided a look at the cross-section of activities that are available at West Orange on a daily basis for golfers and non-golfers, old friends and new ones.
As much as the club has grown in the past year, there remains room for further growth. Membership opportunities are still available, with the ultimate goal of 350 members now within reach.
Under new management for the past year, the club has increased its membership from 150 then to around 250 right now, and was recently presented with the 2016 Ambassador of Change award from the West Orange Chamber of Commerce as it continues to cement itself as a pillar of the community.
Many of those who have recently joined are attracted to the increasing concentration on the variety of activities for every member of the family.
Much of that starts with Chase’s junior golf instruction, called Future Generation Golf Academy. Future Generation Golf Academy is an after school program focused on growing love for the game of golf and improving students’ golf skills. Golf is a game that offers a lot of fun for kids while learning valuable life skills. Our goalorientated after school program is a major factor in motivating our students to continuously strive to be the best they can be.
“I think we’re offering a great theme that differentiates us from other clubs,” explains general manager George Holland. “We’ve focused on the family atmosphere.”
Employing fun-filled teaching methods that range from working with first-time youngsters who have never before held a club to up-and-coming players who are preparing for tournament golf, Chase
“The community needed to support us,” says Jim
From golf to tennis to swimming, the club’s list of activities don’t stop there.
