General Manager's Message
Dear Members, I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday season and that 2024 brings you excellent health and happiness. We are kicking off the start of the new year with an exciting events calendar.There are so many wonderful events being offered for you and your family. Please check out the details for several adult and family events.The staff has been working hard at being creative so you can stay busy during the cold winter months. Don’t miss Family Bingo, Father-Daughter and Mother-Son Dances, 80s Night, Dueling Pianos Party, or Comedy Night. During the month of March, we will be trying something special at Legacy and offering Legacy Steakhouse Wednesday through Saturday from March 6th to 30th. During this time, we will not offer the typical Aqua menu. Please check out the new Steakhouse concept menu on the website's homepage.
I am pleased to introduce you to our new Director of Finance, Tim Andrews. Tim comes to us most recently from Alabama Farm Credit where he was the Controller. Before that, he worked for McCartney Construction as their Controller and spent over 17 years in public accounting. He is a graduate of Jacksonville State University and is a CPA. He has a daughter, Cassidy, who is a senior at the University of South Alabama. He is very active in his church and gym. Please welcome him when you have a chance. With our growing membership and spring being our most popular time of year for golf, we will be opening each course six days per week
fromMarch 1 through June 9. One important note is that from April 29-May 12, the Founders course is closed for the Regions Tradition. Mondays will be the closed day at Founders, and Tuesdays will be the closed day at Legacy during the six day per week period. I hope you enjoy more time on the course. We will evaluate our play in 2024, and if it is warranted, we will add another period of 6 days in the late summer and early fall of 2025. There are some important capital projects coming forward in the first quarter. First, past President of Greystone, Mark McGarvey, has generously donated the funds for us to build a stone wall in front of #2 green at Legacy and the opposite side of the pond in front of #9 tee at Legacy. He is a Charter member of the Club who gave his time tirelessly to serve on the Board for four years, including President and founded the Greystone Outreach Foundation. His love for Greystone is remarkable, and he is setting an example for other members to work with the Board on assisting with funding important projects. Against his wishes, I encourage you to thank him for his generosity in making these improvements happen. They will be completed by mid-February. Other important first quarter projects include replacement of the Legacy kitchen floor and dish machine, fitness center flooring replacement, and improvements to the right side of the #15 fairway at Legacy. Jason will send out an explanation of that project via email before the work. Other projects that are not as exciting include HVAC replacement, safety netting at tennis for protection from errant golf balls, and a new sand filter for the pool. Thanks to all of you, the Board, staff, and especially Ashley Devine, we have increased our membership to the point of establishing a waitlist in the near term.

Membership Growth – Below are all the new and returning members and resignations by category for 2023. A combined 138 new and returning members and only 48 resignations. We will end 2023 with 1117 total members. Our retention rate has greatly improved with our best yet in the history of the Club in raw numbers and percentages. We will finish the year with a 4.3% attrition rate. To put this context, our best year attrition year in history was last year at 6%; since the member takeover in 2009 through 2017, we had a 12%-15% attrition rate and gradually reduced it each year since then.

Thankyou for your continued support andexcitement aboutGreystone. The staff and I are enthusiastic about making 2024 the best year ever at the Club. A year without any shutdown for capital projects and improved service, quality, and programming. All of you give this 52-year-old the energy of a 30-year-old to keep improving each day. All my best to you and your families for a happy and healthy 2024! Best, Dave Dave Porter, General Manager/CEO
Club President 's Message Dear Members,
As we start 2024, it is hard for me to believe that a year has passed as President-Elect and my term as President is beginning. In my first column this year, I would like to revisit the remarks I made via video at the Annual Meeting; I could not be more excited about where Greystone is as a club today and what the future holds.Throughout 2023, membership has continued to grow as we bring in new families and friends. It is even possible that by the time you read this, we will have a full membership and will have started a waiting list. What an exciting time to be a Member! Having a waitlist is a first for Greystone and is the culmination of many years of hard work by your prior Presidents, Board members, Club Management, and Staff to provide an experience that so many people desire. And as Past President, Todd Reeves, mentioned earlier in the year, we are not stopping here! The Board and Club Management are working to build out future improvements and expansions. At the Board Retreat this past Summer, we visited Chambers, who designed the Legacy improvements, to discuss how we could upgrade the facilities at Founders. We anticipate concepts and drawings for an update of the Founders Clubhouse to be available for Members to see in the first half of 2024. As a member-owned club, it is important for us not only to maintain what we have but also to build for the future.
As we move into the first quarter of 2024, I encourage you to enjoy your Club. Don't let the cold weather keep you at home.There are many events planned for Members to enjoy! Comedy Night, Dueling Pianos, Wine Dinners & Tastings, and Karaoke! Get in the gym and make that New Year's resolution happen, get your tennis game in shape, or make 2023 the year you win the Member/Guest golf tournament. There is something here for everyone! I look forward to seeing you all at the Club this year. Let's make it a great 2024. Rod Fuller Rod Fuller, 2024 Club President
