Happy New Year!  I wanted to take an opportunity to share with you some of the exciting things we are working on for 2012.
There were a number of successful events last year that we hope to build on this year.  Most notably, the Men’s Golf Association Cup Qualifying will be in its second year and should continue to grow in popularity.  The first MGA event of the year will be the MGA Kick-Off Scramble set for Saturday January 28th.  The Cordillera Women’s Golf Association  will have their first official event of the year on Wednesday January 11th with a 4-Person Scramble.  The entire 2012 Member Tournament Schedule can now be found online at www.clubsofcordilleraranch.com by clicking on the Golf Calendar.  I hope you will find time this year to participate in some of the tournaments as they are a great way to test yourself as well as meet new friends.

Enhancing Your Golf Experience in 2012:
In an effort to highlight winners of some Cordillera Ranch’s most prestigious golf events, we have been working  on the Cordillera Ranch Champions Gallery. The Champions Gallery is a way to recognize the winners of many of our major tournaments and this project nearing completion and will serve as a great way to honor our champions.

New for 2012 is the ability for our members to now enter their own scores into the GHIN Online Handicap System.  This gives our members great flexibility and a chance to learn even more about handicapping as well as their own game from GHIN reports that are available to them through the system.

An event registration system will be introduced to clubsofcordilleraranch.com and will provide easily accessible information regarding event details and make it more convenient to sign-up and participate.  This option may not be utilized for every tournament, but look for it to be introduced for a few of the bigger events this year.

Finally, we have a few travel opportunities this year through the Cordillera Ranch Signature Vacations series.  We will be traveling to Vail, Colorado in March for a ski trip as well as a great golf and outdoor adventure return trip to Maui Hawaii in later spring as well.  In September, I will be traveling with some members to the great destination of Whistling Straits in Wisconsin.

We are always looking for ways to grow and improve our golf operation so please let us know if you have any suggestions that will help us improve the member golf experience here at the Clubs of Cordillera Ranch.  It is a goal of mine to play more golf this year so please keep me or any of our professional staff in mind if you have an opening in your group.  Best wishes for a great New Year!

See you on the course,

Birding in Cordillera Ranch

Bird watching can be a joyful experience. The sounds of birds frolicking outside your Cordillera Ranch home can be a great addition to your garden and landscape. Bird feeders are the quickest and easiest way to attract our winged friends to your yard. If you have ever visited the Outfitter Center at Cordillera Ranch, you’ll have no doubt about how much I enjoy feeding birds and having them around the entire year.

Wow, what a time of year!

Spring never disappoints, with warmer weather, longer days and prettier everything, it’s easy to feel a sense of rejuvenation and rebirth during these splendid months. While we’re only a handful of months into the year, and there’s a feeling of a fresh start, it also feels as though some things are coming to conclusion.

Play-A-Hole #7

The 7th hole at Cordillera Ranch is our second Par-3 that you will encounter and can look pretty daunting from the tee. The green slopes away from you and to the right while being guarded by a large bunker on the front/right side and a couple of bunkers on the left side. In case you thought long was safe … it’s not — there’s another bunker there, too!
