The holidays are one of my favorite times of year at Cordillera Ranch. There is something special about seeing the Club dressed for the season, members gathering with family and friends, and the Golf Shop filling with gifts, festive apparel and a little extra Christmas cheer. This year, we are making holiday shopping easier — and a lot more fun!
Whether you are searching for the perfect gift for your husband, a last-minute surprise for mom, stocking stuffers for the family or maybe a little something for yourself, the Golf Shop has you covered. From golf equipment and apparel to shoes, jewelry, sunglasses, skincare, accessories and gifts for the home, you might be surprised by just how much you can check off your Christmas list without ever leaving the Ranch.
Our holiday collections will feature member favorites including Peter Millar, Holderness & Bourne, Ralph Lauren, Johnnie-O, Harlestons, KJUS, Straight Down, TRUE, Travis Mathew Ladies, Smith & Quinn, lululemon, LOU Apparel and more. For the home and the host, look for engraved glassware, wine glasses, whiskey decanter sets, charcuterie boards and other pieces perfect for entertaining or gifting to the person who seems to have everything.
Save the Date: Ugly Sweater Christmas Party & Shopping
We have been waiting all year for this! Join us December 2 from 5:00 to 7:00pm for our Golf Shop Ugly Sweater Christmas Party.
I have been saving some of our best holiday apparel and seasonal pieces especially for this event, and for two hours only, members will have the opportunity to participate in a special discount game with purchases made during the party. Throw on your favorite ugly Christmas sweater, stop by the Clubhouse for some holiday fun, and visit the Golf Shop to get a head start on your shopping.
Our seasonal collections are limited, and once some of these pieces are gone, they are gone, so if something catches your eye, don’t wait too long to make it yours!
A Little Help from Your Golf Shop Elves
Beginning after Thanksgiving, the Golf Shop will also offer complimentary holiday gift wrapping for purchases made in the shop. Pick out your gifts, leave the wrapping to us, and we will have them ready to go under the tree.
Looking for something specific that you don’t see in the shop? Just ask. Special orders are one of my favorite ways to help members shop, and our team is happy to help track down the right size, color, style or gift.
This year, we are also partnering with Peter Millar to offer Cordillera Ranch members an exclusive private online shopping experience. Our holiday microsite will feature an expanded assortment of premium men’s and women’s apparel and accessories beyond what we can carry in the Golf Shop. Purchases can be conveniently billed to your member account, with the option to ship directly to your home or to the Club, where we will be happy to wrap your gifts for you.
Don’t Forget Your Golf Shop Credit
As the year comes to a close, remember that Golf Shop credit, excluding Hole-in-One credit, expires at the end of the year. Your credit can also be used toward special orders, so don’t feel limited to what is currently on the floor.
And if the perfect special-order gift won’t arrive before Christmas, don’t fret! Eligible purchases can be billed using your available credit before year-end, with the merchandise arriving in the new year.
Whether you know exactly what you are looking for or need a little help finding the perfect gift, come see us. We would love to help make your holiday shopping a little easier, a little more personal and a lot more merry.
From all of us in the Golf Shop, Merry Christmas and happy shopping!
