The perks of living in North Carolina seem endless. We are currently enjoying great Carolina weather in the late 70°s. Golfers have been playing both of our championship courses, Lake and Creek, warming up at the short game practice facility, and signing up for lessons with the PGA professional staff. With our mobile Pro Shop, our golfers have not missed a tee time. Social activities, such as the Trace Players, a talented group of members who perform a musical revue each year have been practicing for their upcoming show at Temple Theatre. Bridge players have resumed their game in many members’ homes, and the spirit of Carolina Trace Country Club is alive and strong. It might surprise most people to know that late evening on January 31st, we experienced a major fire to our Clubhouse. The Trace Family continues to rally around their Club and have resumed golf and other social activities, as if the loss of our Clubhouse never happened. While, some activities and events are temporarily on hold, the friendly and family atmosphere will always remain. The staff is setting up dining relationships with local country clubs and researching a mobile grill and bar. A social calendar will be distributed in the coming weeks, as we still plan to hold our major events throughout the year. It is a tragedy for the memories lost with the major fire, but the end result of an updated and operational Clubhouse will benefit our members and the community.
The Clubhouse main phone numbers and golf information line are active and the department heads will continue to check their email frequently. As more information develops, we will utilize a variety of communication methods to keep our members updated. However, with this great weather, golf, cocktails and get-togethers, there is little motivation for being indoors!
