During our recent visit to the country club, my family and I had the pleasure of crossing paths with one of your employees who truly made our day. Even though he works in the kitchen, his warm smile, friendly attitude, and welcoming “hello” didn’t go unnoticed. We asked his name, and he said it was Angel one of the cooks. It’s rare to come across someone who radiates such genuine positivity and hospitality, especially from behind the scenes. Angel made us feel valued and welcome with just a few words and a smile, and that speaks volumes about his character and work ethic. He represents the kind of employee every company should strive to have. We also want to compliment the entire team the hospitality was outstanding, and the food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be recommending the club to others. Thank you for creating such a warm and memorable experience! Thank you

I attended a bridal shower there and it was beautiful food was great and staff were so sweet. The only knock would be it was $15 for a mimosa and not a very big one.
