Board of Directors Secretary

Past President

Dear Members,

This Highlights edition is special for our club, as it is the first during the declared pandemic. It is especially exciting for me, as it is my first letter in which I get to announce all the positive things happening at our club…instead of having to cancel or restrict activities.

Before you review the great upcoming activities our management team is planning, let us catch up on what has happened over the past few months.

Construction is nearly over! With the irrigation project nearly wrapped up, the playground structure being erected, the parking lot finished, and the pool having never looked better, I can finally truly reflect on how amazing and proud of our club I am. This past week as I arrived for an early morning workout, I was taken aback by how stunning our club looks and how all the projects have come together so nicely. It is also with great pleasure that I can share with you that overall, we came in ON BUDGET! With the late addition of the parking lot and backyard expansion, we will be borrowing slightly more than anticipated, but overall, the Board and Union Bank are incredibly happy with where our club is financially after these Capital Improvements.

With everything going on around us, it was already set to be an interesting year for our club, but even I am surprised at how we are holding up. We currently have no member promotions and we are host to over 580 families. This is amazing when you consider that just 4 years ago, we only had 450 families in our club. This growth, along with us keeping an active club, have contributed to a year which could go down as one of the more successful years in recent history.

We are also happy to announce that our club has not experienced any internally spread cases of COVID-19 and everyone on our staff that previously tested positive has returned to work after fully recovering. We have updated and improved practices along the way and I happy to say that our staff are continuing to work hard to ensure you and your family are able to use the club safely.

With these great successes it is clear to see why our team is so excited to look forward to these next couple months. We have put our heads together and decided how to enjoy some good old fashion fun and entertainment while keeping it safe and socially appropriate. Make sure to mark your calendars for some (or all) of these amazing activities our team is planning. If you have any questions about the projects or happenings around the club feel free to reach out and I’d gladly discuss them.

Sincerely,

Zach Tyson

Visits to the Dining Room or Patio will be by RESERVATION ONLY. You may make reservations via your online Member Portal or by calling us at 402.489.7111. A video tutorial for making Dining and Pool reservations can be found at tinyurl.com/hccweb that outlines making Pool and Patio/Dining reservations, logging in for the first time, and viewing/canceling your reservations..

Reservations can be made for up to a maximum of eight people per table. Any parties larger than eight MUST call the club to make their reservation.

Our dining areas have been set to our allowed half-capacity with tables set six feet apart. Therefore, if there is not an available seat, you are not allowed to stay in that area. You are also not allowed to move tables or add more seats to a table over the allowed eight.

You are not to enter the building for any reason if you can answer any of the following statements with "true": 1. I have had a COVID-19 test in the last 14 days.

2. I am having symptoms of COVID-19 (shortness of breath, high fever, cough, chills, etc.).

Hillcrest GOLF POLICIES

FRIENDLY REMINDERS

You must check in with the golf staff before your round so we can ensure you and/or your guests are properly registered.

When using a riding cart, members will need to receive a key from the golf shop staff. Also, please remember that you must have a valid driver's license to operate golf carts.

The golf course opens for play at 8:00 AM on weekdays & 7:00 AM on weekends. You must have a tee time to begin play.

Play is restricted before the first available tee time of the day.

All golf rounds begin on the front nine unless otherwise announced. Starting your round on the back nine must first have approval from the Golf Shop staff.

If you will not be using a reserved tee time, please inform the Golf Shop as soon as possible to ensure other members have an opportunity to play.

Please remember to use the locker room facilities for changing into golf attire.

A Social Membership affords a playing privilege a total of 6 times annually. These rounds are not transferrable and are considered redeemed if 9 or 18 holes have been played. A Social Member may rent the use of a riding cart. Reservations for play must be arranged by calling the Golf Shop at 402.489.8181.

A playing guest may be hosted for golf a total of 6 times annually, and is inconsequential of the member hosting. This includes Men's Stags, Golf Breakfasts, and Ladies' Guest Events. All guest rounds must be registered in the Golf Shop and guest fees settled before play.

The golf course and the practice facilities open at 12:00 PM on Mondays (when the club is not hosting an outside event).

We do not allow golf or practice to begin before this time. The Board of Directors asks all members and their guests to observe this policy.

It is in the best interest of our golf course to keep riding carts on cart paths near tees and greens. Minimizing unnecessary traffic in these high volume areas will help the grass remain strong during the heat of the summer.

Remember to repair your ball marks on greens and, when time allows, one more.

As a general rule, please leave rakes outside of the bunker.

Hillcrest asks all golfers to NOT apply bug spray while on grass areas on the course. The chemicals used in these sprays will harm the turf.

Dress Code The dress code is in full effect October through April.

Golf attire is required if you are using the golf course or any practice facilities.

All males must wear a shirt with sleeves. Shirts without collars must be suitable country club style.

Males and females may wear shorts, as long as they are mid-thigh length.

Jeans are allowed on the golf course and practice areas. Jeans must be appropriate country club attire.

Unacceptable dress includes t-shirts, tank tops, halter tops, tube tops, cutoff shorts, jogger shorts, gym wear, and swim trunks.

Oversized and sloppy attire are not appropriate for a country club atmosphere.

Everyone must wear shoes. Shoes with pronounced heels and cleated soles are prohibited on the golf course.

Please remember to apply the tenets of good taste and remind their guests of the same.

Shop Credit In an effort to close our Golf Shop's end of year books and begin the 2021 season with new merchandise in the shop, Hillcrest has the following policy: Members holding Golf Shop credit must spend the credit by December 15, 2020. We will be offering special pricing on IN-STOCK merchandise only. Special order merchandise will be subject to regular retail pricing. Credit for special orders expire on September 30, 2020.
