How did you get into

your field?

I started working in the Country Club industry for Century Golf Partners in 2008 at Eldorado Country Club in McKinney, Texas. I was then transferred to The Club at Sonterra as their Member Relations Director in 2010 where I worked until fall of 2015. After maternity leave with my daughter Brielle, I joined the great team of Cordillera where I look forward to many more exciting years to come!

How long have you been with Cordillera Ranch?

I have been at The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch since September of 2015.

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

My family and I have always loved the Texas Hill Country! We also live in Boerne and love the small town feel. There is not a day that I don’t pull into the gates and feel blessed to have such a great job at such a beautiful facility!

What are your

hobbies/interests?

I am family-oriented and love to spend as much time with them as possible. We enjoy going to Sea World, the zoo, the movies, Boerne River, Market Days, “Random” Park, grilling with neighbors and weekend trips to Dallas.

What’s your favorite sport?

My favorite sport to play has always been volleyball, but my favorite sport to watch is football! My son plays flag football and will be starting tackle in the fall. We are huge Dallas Cowboy fans with high hopes for a better season! My very close second would be basketball.

Go, Spurs, Go!

Favorite sporting event you’ve attended?

My husband and I have gone to many Spurs games and love every minute of it!

Favorite quote?

“Everything Happens for a Reason.”

Favorite movie and why?

I love all Chick Flicks, even though lately I don’t think I have seen much that hasn’t been made by Disney or Pixar!

What has been your greatest challenge in your business?

I think my greatest challenge has been adjusting from a large club to a small club. At Sonterra, the club was all about quantity because of the size. The great thing about Cordillera is it is all about QUALITY and giving the members the best experience possible.

What has been your most rewarding experience in your business?

I absolutely love coming up with unique and exciting events for members. Some of my best events were: Scavenger Hunts around San Antonio in stretch limousines, the Fiesta River Parade Dinner, the Grape Stomp & Wine Event, Dueling Pianos for St. Patrick’s Day, Princess Parties and Mother/Son Date Nights.

Favorite aspect or feature at Cordillera Ranch?

The team is by far the best aspect of Cordillera to me! From the owners, to the managers, to the coworkers, everyone has been incredibly friendly and supportive.

Anything else that no one knows about you that you would like to share?

I went to High School in Glidden, Iowa where I grew up on a farm. I know how to drive a tractor, work cattle and my least favorite thing … pick up rocks in the fields!! I also broke a weight lifting record in High School for bench press!

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.
