Directors Notes

A Thank You to All Charter and Preferred Members from your 
Greens of Manatee, Inc. 

A message from the President.

The weather is wonderful and the golf course is in great shape.  It is time for some great golf and the winter leagues are in full swing.  The course has a new Facebook page that allows everyone to keep track of what is happening.  Brenda Jacobs has done a wonderful job creating a page that is creative and informative.  The posts feature pictures of scramble winners, hole in one golfers and provides a bit of enjoyable golf humor.  Check out Facebook "Greens of Manatee Golf Club" and share it with your friends.

FOR THE GOLFER:   The leagues are a big part of our winter season so come on out and sign up to play with one or two of them.  Need a tee time? Call the clubhouse and they will set you up.  The Saturday Scrambles are on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month and are a big hit with all levels of golfers. 

FOR THE NON GOLFER:   Be sure to stop over and check out the Clubhouse.  Breakfast and lunch both great and prices are very reasonable.  If you visit us for lunch, Don't miss out on Rose's award winning Chili.  Stop in with friends or family and enjoy a hearty breakfast that include daily specials.  Lunchtime offers you dogs, burgers, sloppy joes, drinks and some of Rose's famous homemade soups. Our staff will treat you as royalty and you can get away without a traffic jam or a bill that breaks the bank.

Important notice to Golfers and non Golfers alike:  Be aware that we could lose our beautiful golf course in the near future.  The course will need to obtain a new loan in one year and our lender is very critical of our asset to debt ratio.  Potentially, this concern could result in a refusal to grant a new loan.  This threat is real and the course needs everyone's help and support.  To reduce our loan and improve our ratio, the Greens of Manatee Board of Director's has developed and now offers a new Preferred Membership.  Cost is $5,000 and the member receives $500 in applied benefits each year.  The benefits can be applies to golf, food, clothing etc.  The membership can be purchased on time for an initial payment of $1,000.  For those not interested in the membership, an escrow account has been established for all donations. Our goal is to reduce our loan prior to the 2021 loan expiration, so please consider purchasing a membership or making a donation.
