news

Good afternoon all, hope everyone is able to stay out of the wind for the next couple of days. Sending a message here about a couple of upcoming events at BCC in the month of April:

Saturday April 9th: 1-Person Scramble golf tournament. Individual play with the opportunity to hit 2 balls on every shot. Tee off begins at 10am. Lunch will be provided in your entry fee.

Tuesday April 12th: Mens Night begins for the season. Tee off at 6pm.
Wednesday April 13th: Women's Night begins for the season. Tee off at 6pm.
Friday April 15th: Couples Night begins for the season. Tee off at 6pm.

Friday April 15th: Tax Relief Party at the club. The house committee will provide a free will donation meal of brats, hot dogs, and sides. Serving begins at 6pm. We'll use any excuse to have a party!

Monday April 18th: Republic County High School Golf Invitational. The Buffaloes will host their annual tournament welcoming surrounding schools to our club. Course will be closed to public play during this time.

Wednesday April 20th: Greens will be aerated and top dressed. Course will be closed to action while this task is completed. Our new process of just poking the greens rather than pulling cores/plugs should speed up the healing process and get the greens prepped for the Summer heat ahead.

Also, reminder that if you have not paid your 2022 dues to please do so ASAP. That is it for now during April. We hope to see you at the club as we kick off the 2022 season!

Good morning, BCC membership. Hope you all are enjoying the much needed rain and the cooler Fall temperature we've been experiencing the past few weeks. Just wanted to give a few updates to what has been going on at the club lately.

As some of you may have seen or heard, we have officially hired a new Clubhouse manager. Scott McGee was hired by the board at our September board meeting. Scott is a native of Seattle, Washington but now lives in Belleville. He is an artist/industrial designer who works remotely from his home office. Prior to getting his degree in industrial design, Scott worked in the motorcycle industry for 15 years. He is new to the world of golf but looks forward to working with us at BCC. So far Scott has made a great impact on the club by taking on many tasks and working to make improvements to the experience for our members at BCC. Please welcome Scott whenever you see him at the club!
As a follow up to this, we all need to give a huge shout out and thank you to Waylon Sheetz who has volunteered his time as the clubhouse manager over the course of this year up to this point. We are extremely thankful for Waylon's time and effort that he put into the club!

Upcoming events at BCC:

Saturday October 30th: Halloween Karaoke party at BCC. Come howl at the moon with bartender Brett and the crew this Saturday night. Clubhouse opens at 4pm. Thanks to members of the house committee for decorating the bar area! Costumes encouraged but not required.

Saturday November 13th: Fall workday scheduled for on course Fall clean up. We are mainly looking at tree trimming and general clean up of the course/clubhouse area on this workday. Please come lend a hand with any tools that you may have to assist. Any and all help is appreciated. Start time to be announced at a later date.

I think that covers my update for now. Hope everyone has an enjoyable Halloween!

Just a note from The Club's board of directors as a reminder about memberships.

We would like to thank all of you who have sent in or brought to us your golfing membership. Hopefully you have taken time to get out with your family and enjoy the course. Although the weather has not been the best continually, summer is coming (maybe next week?). The work to improve greens and fairways continues and with the work come the responsibility of paying bills. We want you to know because of your faithfulness so far, we were able to pay our annual note pmt., interest pmt., operating expense note and pay our taxes. Which brings us to the fact that as we looked over the membership list, golfing memberships are down 23 from last year (we have several new members this year, thank you) which in dollars means over $15,000 short now. Social memberships are down 36 at this time nearly $2,000 short. Some members had been using the club, but hadn't gotten their memberships in yet. As we prepare to open the Club up next week please remember to get your memberships paid, thank you. At this point the plan is to open Tuesday. There will be restrictions and we will get an email out as to our NEW NORMAL by Monday.

Thank you to everyone of you as members. This year will be a challenge, but we have always face challenges at BCC and you as members have always met the challenge.

See you at The Club or on The Course.

Good morning to all our golf members,
I was asked by board members to give a shout out to all of our members who have gotten in their memberships at this point. As you all know the course is open and the guys are working to have it in shape for your play. In spite of this corona virus thing, there is still a lot of work to be done on the course and funds needed for chemical purchase for greens and all, sprinkler heads to be fixed, mowers to be tended to and of course the irrigation system that is cranky at times. Yesterday was a beautiful day that would have been the 1 couple scramble that Shelley, Whit, MaryAnn, Bill, Carol and James would have held and been financially profitable for the Club. Wasn't to be! It was still a beautiful and I hope you all took advantage of the beautiful day.
With so many summer activities canceled so far, golf is a wonderful way to spend time with family, kids, grandkids and others while social distancing. We encourage everyone to join and be apart of our Club. One of these days, hopefully by middle to end of may the club house will be opened again and we can have our leagues begin. Until then, please send in your memberships so we can continue to operate our course. We are down at this time, and hope you will join with us now for the rest of the year. We do need you to get you memberships to us in person or by mail.
All of our members are the best! Your Board of Directors

Good day BCC fans,

As I sit and look out the window at a beautiful morning, I am reminded that in spite of all the craziness in our little world right now we sill live in a beautiful place. Everything is starting to green up and if you have been by the golf course lately, there is some work being done and things are staring to perk up out there. The plan is plug the greens next Tuesday, 4/7 so the course will be closed that week. Hopefully mother nature will be kind to use and warmer weather will promote the healing of the greens.

Although everything has been shut down pretty much, the out of doors is still open if I am not mistaken. So golfing is still a great option to be able to enjoy our golf course. This brings me to our main point! Because we have not been able to be active at the club house we have not been able to have our annual member appreciation night yet. It will happen eventually. That being said we are lagging behind in our membership dues being paid. April 1st, our usual deadline is just days away. For everyone who has paid so far thank you so very much. If you have not paid yet, please do so. All though the club house has been shut down, there will still be costs to take care of in the club house and on the course. More now that ever we will need everyone of our members to step up present and maybe even some past members to join again??? You can give your membership dues to a board member or send to PO box 421. Please, please help.

We all know this will pass and we can get back to our normal life style. Until then be mindful of our course?

News and Now

The BCC bod wishes to thank everyone who participated in the Valentines Dinner. We had 69 plus the bartenders and workers. We wish to thank Stacey, Dan, Carolyn, Kerry Johnson, Kerri & Tim Garman and Charlene for all their efforts for a very nice evening. For all those who ate, your donations were very generous and we will share the results the first of next week.

For all those who want food at the club and were not able to make it on Thursday, we will be having more events for your enjoyment. Put on your calendar Saturday, March 2 at 6pm. will be our membership appreciation supper. All dues are due by March 2nd and your meal is free with a paid up membership.

Also "Fat Tuesday" is March 5th and we would like to celebrate it at the club. We are in need of volunteers to make a crock pot full of gumbo, jambalaya, or another Cajun dish for that night. Contact Charlene or any board member if you wish to help. More details coming soon.

Again we thank each one of you that came on Valentines.

BCC Board of Directors

Dear club members,

The last several years have been tough financially for the Belleville Country Club. As the board has poured over the financial details, we have tried our best to make the club an institution that serves its members well while being financially responsible. As many of you know, we have had several different managers over the last several years that brought in good ideas about improving the clubs offerings to its members.

Sadly, we have not been able to generate the revenue needed to cover the expenses of offering a food service for our members. The number of members who come to the club to eat on the nights that we serve food simply do not cover the cost it takes to offer such a service.

To that end, the board has voted to end the offering of food services as of September 6th. We know that there are some of you who are dedicated patrons of the food service, and we offer our apologies for having to make this decision.

We will offer a time in the near future for club members to meet with the board to discuss this matter. We know that there are always a lot of rumors about what is happening at the club, and we want everyone who interested to be a part in the discussion so that this matter is as transparent as we can make it.

Sincerely,

Cayle Goertzen

President
