Fall In Florida
2 Heron Creek Golf & Country Club
Dear Members,
The 2017 season is upon us in Florida. This season is especially important for
us at Heron Creek. We are presenting to you, the members, a completely
renovated golf course and practice center on Friday, October 21st.
The golf course is being reserved exclusively to our members and their guests
for the first week after re-opening. All requests for opening day should be made
through the Bailey's Platinum Preferred Placement System. Tee time requests
can be made up to 14 days in advance, and your actual time will be confirmed
by 6p.m. 8 days prior to play. In an effort to give every member equal access to
the tee sheet for the first week of play, association play for the Nifty Niners,
LGA, and MGA will resume on Thursday, November 3rd at their Season
Opener Event.
This renovation was a total team effort by managers and staff from all departments. Just to recognize a
few, pictured this month are Bart Cook, Director of Golf, mowing fairways, Christine Schneider of Food
& Beverage, laying pine straw, and Mike Smith, Director of Tennis & Fitness, assisting with the
renovation of course tee signs. For those of you still up north, please enjoy a few images of the grown-in
greens and newly replaced fairways. For our full-time members, I’m sure you have witnessed all of the
progress first-hand.
It is always a priority to provide the highest quality amenities for members. For example, renovations to
the pool and deck were finished by Labor Day. We are also conducting a survey for members to provide
feedback on the Tennis and Fitness Center amenities. If you have not received this survey via email,
please contact [email protected] to have one sent to you.
Please note: New hours of operation will begin October 21st. A flyer with this information will be
emailed to you within the next week.
Heron Creek is always implementing new ways to provide the friendliest staff, world class service, and
innovative facilities with the best value to our members. As always, appreciate your patience and your
loyalty to the Club.
Kindest Regards,
Chris Trottier, PGA

HERON CREEK NIFTY NINERS
Dear Members,
Welcome back to another golf season at Heron
Creek.
We have announced Opening Day for October
21st with exclusive tee times for members from
the 21st to the 27th. Please make tee time
requests through Bailey system starting 8 days
prior to Opening Day.
Management, golf staff, and the grounds
maintenance staff are committed to improving
the course conditions for Opening Day and the 2017 season. We are proud of
the effort that was put into renovations, and I believe it will show just how
dedicated our staff is on Opening Day.
The Golf Staff is happy to announce some of the improvements we have
implemented during the course renovation to enhance your golfing
experience.
Here are a couple pictures of the progress so far:
We have a new bag drop structure and traffic pattern!
On course bathroom renovations are complete!
We have painted the doors and added much needed A/C
units in each restroom!
Course signage has been renovated and looks amazing!
On course water coolers and trash cans have been
upgraded!
We are looking forward to making this year even more successful than the
last. I look forward to seeing you at the Club!
With Regards,
Bart Cook, PGA
Director of Golf
Let's get this season started and play some golf! The 2016/2017 season officially begins Tuesday, October 4th. Please sign up using the Chelsea System no later than 5:00 p.m. on Fridays to play the following Tuesdays. New this year is a combined Opening Day golf event with the LGA and MGA on Thursday, November 3rd. The Club is re-sponsible for the event and will provide further details (sign ups, tee times, venue, food and cost). Although this is a com-bined event with the other Leagues, the Nifty Niners will play their own game (Step Aside Scramble) together. A Welcome Back Breakfast is planned for 8:00 a.m. Tuesday, November 1st. We will meet in the Main Dining Room to chat
and share a few laughs. After breakfast, the League's opening day meeting will be conducted. Please confirm your attend-ance for breakfast and the meeting by contacting Patty We-gener via email at [email protected]. A sign up sheet will also be placed on the League's bulletin board. The 2016-2017 season membership dues are $50.00 and pay-able to HCNN. Please drop off your check at the Pro Shop or mail to our Nifty Niners Treasurer, Janet Vanaman. Those wishing to join the HCNN for the first time may get an applica-tion form at the Pro Shop or contact one of our Welcome Com-mittee members, Judy Thornton or Linda Heinlen. Patty Wegener, HCNN Secretary

HERON CREEK MGA
With the major course renovations in pro-
gress, the MGA has not scheduled events
for the summer. Many of our members
reside up North and several local members
have taken advantage of the reciprocal play
policy offered by several clubs in the area.
Work on our course has progressed steadily
and we expect to hold our planned opening
day event on November 3rd.
The November 3, 2016 Tournament will be
a consolidated affair joining the MGA,
LGA and Nifty-Niners together for golf
with a party to follow play later in the
evening. The party will take place down at
the Hideaway with food, drink and enter-
tainment provided. It will be a great way to
kick off the new golf season and meet and
greet some new members.
New members are always welcome. To
join, obtain an application from the Pro
Shop, fill it out and return it with your first
year’s dues of $50. You will then be eligi-
ble for all of the weekly events and special
tournaments held throughout the season.
Sign-ups for an MGA Tournament or
Weekly event, should utilize the Heron
Creek web site which is
“heroncreekgcc.com”. This site will take
you to all MGA golf events and also allow
you to access the new Golf Genius app.
The Pro Shop will be distributing a Golf
manual to all platinum members both
online and hard copy in the near future.
The manual will describe the intricacies of
the Golf Genius App. Specific questions
can be directed to the Pro Shop.

HERON CREEK LGA
I think we are all excited for the Oct. 21st
opening of our courses here at Heron
Creek. Since the last newsletter, we have
enjoyed 2 away outings at Heritage Oaks
and Venice Golf & Country Club.
Heritage Oaks ended in a tie, with CTP for
Carol Parker, Maggie Elmuts, and Judy
Broughton. Venice Golf & CC was a chal-
lenge for all of us. The rough was so deep,
we spent a lot of time looking for balls, but
a fun time was had by all. The course was
in great shape. Winners were Donna Wat-
son. Carol Parker, Susan Engel, and Peggy
Dyer. CTP was Susan Engel, Judy
Broughton and Sandra VanBergen.
As a heads up, prior to our opening day
(Nov. 3rd), our president, Bonnie Taylor
Gillings will be e-mailing you the minutes
from our closing meeting from last season.
Your board decided this was a good idea so
you could read and digest the information.
At our meeting you will be asked for cor-
rections/additions and then 1st and 2nd mo-
tions for approval. Please be sure to read
the minutes prior to our meeting.
We, as a your board, decided to do it this
way as we are all so happy to see each oth-
er again and begin our season, that we are
all busy greeting each other and really
don’t hear the minutes being read. We will
do this for all general meetings in the fu-
ture.
We want to welcome 2 new members; Lin-
da Woodhall and Maria Rinaldo.
WELCOME! We are happy you have
joined our group. Ladies, try and mention
your name when greeting our new mem-
bers, because we all recall being new and
overwhelmed by trying to remember so
many new names and faces.
All lady Platinum members are welcome to
play in our Suncoast League. It is an inter-
club competitive league of 12 different
clubs using the Stableford scoring system.
It is a great way to meet other lady golfers
in the area and enjoy some tasty lunches.
Cost is $50.00 per event, which includes
golf, lunch and tips. Our first game is Oct.
28th at The Oaks; sign- up sheet is on the
bulletin board in the ladies locker room.
Sign up now, it’s fun.
Remember to sign up for Opening Day,
November 3rd! See you then:)

Hi Everyone, Well, the new season is
here, and so I would like to
join you all in
welcoming our returning
and new members.. I hope
you all had a fabulous
summer! My staff and I have been
very busy these past few
months completing
maintenance projects and
making some noticeable
improvements to our tennis facility. A major renovation
of our community pool has also taken place this sum-
mer, which should make our swimmers very happy! As
usual, we welcome any feedback you might have as it
pertains to these and future projects. And thank you to
our members who participated in the Tennis & Fitness
Center Survey.
Some minor changes have been made to our tennis rules
and policies in an effort to streamline and maximize
court usage. These changes will be explained and
discussed at our “Season Kickoff event”, as well as
outlined in the tennis players directory which will be
made available to everyone. My goal as your Director of Tennis/Professional, and
the goal of my staff, is to provide you as members with
a comfortable environment where you can relax,
socialize, have fun, entertain and enjoy fun tennis!...
Please feel free to let me know if we are meeting your
expectations.
Wishing you all a Healthy & Enjoyable season!

TENNIS RACKET
TESTIMONIAL
Hi Mike:
Just wanted to let you know that
Tuesday morning all players who
showed up for open tennis were
absolutely amazed at how great the
court conditions were given that
we had 3"- 4" of rain the night
before. Not only were they dry, but
they had been groomed and
cleaned to perfection. As you know, most of our players
play in leagues and tournaments
and have played at most of the
clubs around Sarasota, Charlotte,
and Manatee counties. Everyone
here at Heron Creek agrees that we
have the best maintained courts of
anyone in the SW Florida area. We
also hear those comments from
other players when they visit for
league matches and Heron Creek
tennis events. So, kudos to you and we all want
Dennis and Bill to know that their
hard work does not go unnoticed.
Cheers!
Carol

possibility of longer operating hours for club house, and questions
concerning“Birthday Bash” evenings at the club.

events for the coming months. We hope you will attend and help
make them successful. Also, let us know if you have new ideas for
some fun evenings.

CLUB INFORMATION
Dress Code
It is expected that Members, their family members and guests will choose to dress in a fashion
befitting the surroundings and atmosphere provided in the setting of the Club. We ask that
Members will advise their guests of the dress requirements.
Golf Course
Proper golf attire is required for all players. For men, shirts with collars and sleeves, shirts with
turtlenecks, mock turtlenecks, slacks and golf shorts with a minimum six inch inseam are
considered proper attire. Tee shirts, jeans, cut-offs, sweatpants, bathing suits or other athletic
attire are not permitted. Pants and shorts must be neat and presentable, and must be worn at the
natural waistline. Shirt tails must be worn inside the trousers unless cut in a style to be worn
outside (for example, a Hawaiian style shirt). For women, dresses, blouses, slacks and golf shorts
with a minimum of six inch inseam are considered proper attire. Shirts must have sleeves or a
collar.
Heron’s Roost Grille Room / Top of The Green Main Dining Room
Acceptable Golf attire as described in the rules and regulations is also acceptable in the Clubhouse,
Courtside Café and the Grille Room. Shirt tails must be worn inside the trousers unless cut in a
style to be worn outside (for example, a Hawaiian style shirt). Blue Jeans are acceptable only in
the Grille Room, Courtside Café or outside dining areas of the Main Clubhouse. Blue Jeans and
athletic headwear are not permitted in the Main Dining Room. Flip flops are not acceptable,
except in the pool area.

Proper tennis attire and regulation equipment (no running shoes) are required on the courts at all times. Shirts must be worn at all times.
Men’s shirts must have sleeves; proper tennis attire is required for women. The Club reserves the right to include additional requirements
