Education

I received a Bachelor of Science in Sports Management and Marketing from St. John Fisher College.

How did you get into your field?

After college I moved to Florida with the plan to play on a couple of mini tours. I found Frenchman’s Creek Beach and Country Club, and as long as I worked full time for them they gave me a place to practice year-round. After working there for a few months they eventually asked me if I wanted to become an Assistant Golf Professional and enroll in the PGA program. Now here I am.

How long have you been with Cordillera Ranch?

I started working at Cordillera on May 1, 2015.

What is your favorite aspect of working in the Hill Country?

You can’t beat the views out in the Hill Country. It reminds me of the views when I lived in Pennsylvania.

What is your favorite activity to do in the Hill Country?

My favorite activity is to go hunting for anything that moves.

What are your hobbies/interests?

Watching #Bachelor with my girlfriend while sipping wine on the couch, and taking long walks on the beach.

What’s your favorite sport?

I love hockey. I started playing when I was 5 years old.

Favorite sporting event you’ve attended?

I would have to say it was going to my first Philadelphia Flyers playoff game with my dad. They beat the New Jersey Devils and afterwards we watched the Devils get on their bus as Flyers fans were heckling them.

Favorite quote?

If you’re not nervous then it just means you don’t care.

Favorite movie and why?

Law Abiding Citizen — It’s a great storyline about a man getting revenge for what was done to his family.

What has been your greatest challenge in your business?

Definitely, remembering names. No one in my family is good at remembering names so I would have to say this has been a struggle. That being said, I am getting much better at it.

What has been your most rewarding experience in your business?

The most rewarding experience in this business is constantly meeting new people.

Favorite aspect or feature at Cordillera Ranch?

The golf course is my favorite feature. It is an amazing design and such a beautiful course.

Preferred Builders: Home Tour Highlights

We hosted yet another wonderful Preferred Builders Home Tour in late October, closing out our 2024 bi-annual event held every spring and fall. With more than 350 total attendees, this was one of, if not, our most well-attended tours ever.

Agronomy

Challenges. Opportunities. Moving Forward.

Fall has been a busy season for the Agronomy team. This important season kicks off after all the fun of the Ladies’ Ranch Roundup, when we begin our greens aerification process. At the conclusion of this process in October, we have now seen the extraordinary benefit of the deep vertical slicing (Graden device) coupled with the normal aerification of punching holes and backfilling with sand.

Outdoors

Bees and Golf Courses

A long-standing interest of mine has been the benefits of using honey and bee keeping. I have enjoyed honey since I was a child and there are many benefits of having honey in your diet. Honey contains a variety of nutrients, it’s rich in antioxidants and is better for blood sugar levels than regular sugar. Research has shown it to promote heart health, promote burn and wound healing, and help suppress coughing with children.

Amanda Naranjo

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been around the game of golf. From watching golf tournaments on TV with my family to going out to the driving range with my dad during my High School years while on the Golf Team, everything I associate with golf has been positive. I decided to attend the University of the Incarnate Word and major in Fashion Merchandising with a concentration in Business. Fusing both my passion for fashion and love for the game of golf, the golf merchandising path was the perfect path for me.
