FCC is a nice facility. The golf course is amazingly beautiful and well kept and fun and challenging. The driving range is state of the art we use it all the time. The tennis courts, both clay and grass are maintained at a very high impressive level. Everything we have dined on is always very tasty and we like how they change up the menu. What really stands out at FCC are the owners and staff. They are outgoing and friendly and always helpful. This makes it enjoyable for us to stay involved. Great place to be and it’s always comfortable at FCC.

Four years into my membership and each season better than the last! Food and bev is restaurant quality. Unreal! The course is very playable for all levels, and the improvements never stop. Practice range w/Trackman stations is a perfect way to work on your game as well as experience year round club fittings. The tennis and pickleball programs continue to expand and the pool is a perfect family amenity. To top it off, FCC is all in on the member experience. The group of guys I've met and golf with weekly are tops, and the Pro Shop is full service. First rate operation!

Just came from another spectacular holiday party hosted by the club. Since we joined in 2018, it’s only gotten better. The tennis program has expanded thanks to Sean Chatellard and Heidi. This has been transformative for us in terms of making friends and really feeling connected. The social events are a huge perk. Love the addition of the cafe where you can grab a latte and breakfast after a workout in the gym. Can’t say enough about the staff: John at the front desk, Emma and Maddie in the dining room, Caleb at the bar. But most of all the Harris family for taking a personal interest in each and every member. So grateful to be a part of this community. 😊

I had the pleasure of working closely with Laurel and Joel in a few meetings leading up to my daughters wedding. Laurel was very pleasant and responsive as we worked together on last minute details for the brunch and venue extension. They offered ideas that helped and were flexible as we continued to refine the timeline and event composition. The day of went great! We were introduced to Kim (her first week!) who was very detailed orientated and wonderful to work with. Everyone was super attentive to details and ensured they were available for all of our questions. Kim was committed to excellence as she brought forward suggestions and details that really added some nice touches to the event. Food was raved about by all of our guests- it was served timely, hot and delicious- loved the family style. Servers were super friendly and as excited for our event as we were! While it rained on and off most of the day we fortunately were able to have the ceremony outside - those chairs were wiped down no less than a half dozen times during the day by their crew ( and I think Laurel too!) and they were ready to flip to the tent if needed. It was an all in team effort including Jeff (adjusting the tent sides) and Jason- (helping us pack up)! It was a long, fun day at a beautiful venue with a great staff that clearly took great pride in their venue and delivery! Thank you Thank you Thank you Roxanne
