Dear Hillcrest Country Club Members,

As an 87-year-old club, plenty has changed over the years. However, one thing has remained

constant – our passion for building a strong community based upon family values. This foundation

allows us to offer our members a country club experience known for excellence.

Back in 2010, Hillcrest invited members to complete a club survey. From this we gained valuable

feedback which highlighted our strengths, one of which is our youth swimming, golf and tennis teams,

all of which had over 100 participants in 2015. This survey also caused us to reflect on our need to

improve. Therefore, we implemented a Long-Range Planning Committee to ensure we have continuous,

relevant improvements to our club. These upgrades are made possible by the Capital Improvement

Program.

Through this program we have been able to make many improvements over the past few years: we

resurfaced the tennis courts, refurbished our Pro Shop, improved the A Street entrance, renovated our

main lobby and bathrooms, updated Teencrest, and more. Looking forward, the Long-Range Planning

Committee and the current board have selected a number of exciting projects to be completed over the

next few months. These projects include: an expansion of the driving range and an addition of a

short-game practice facility, a redesign of our restaurant, poolside and bar area, course updates that

maintain the integrity of the William H. Tuckers design. This booklet highlights these projects as well

as future plans.

I want to thank the Long Range Planning committee, Hillcrest and East O Board of Directors, for their

leadership as we strive to make Hillcrest Country Club the best family-focused club in Nebraska. And,

most importantly, I would like to thank our members for their valued loyalty.

Sincerely,

Andy Reetz

General Manager

Conceptual artist renderings Restaurant And Bar Area

Enjoying an afternoon by the pool is a

popular pastime for our members. That’s

why we’re excited to announce the opening

of our restaurant and bar area to the pool

deck. This will allow easier access to food

and beverages, without sacrificing pool time.

By having a more open floor plan on the

east side of our building, we will make the

poolside experience even better.

Driving Range and Practice Facility

Range improvements include:

• Short-game practice area

• Larger variety of target greens

Sustainability throughout the summer season

Doubling of the range tee box size

Golf Course

Landscapes Unlimited has been awarded the contract for our

practice range and other course updates. With 98th Street

construction on the east side of our course, hole #4 will undergo

modifications such as added fairway bunkers, irrigation, and

forestry changes, as well as a new tee box. For the remainder of

2015 and the start of the 2016 golf season, it will play as a par

three. New cart paths connecting holes #7, #8, and #9, along

with new paths at #17 and #18 will be added as well. Additional

improvements include a new greenside bunker at hole #7.

Hole #4 rendering given on the right.

A Message from our General Manager

Welcome 2016!

We’ve experienced some amazing golf weather up through the end of 2015, and yet spring golf is right around

the corner! For the upcoming season, you can count on some of the tried and true events everyone has

enjoyed over the years, but there will be some exciting changes to our golf programs as well. The Men’s Golf

Committee will meet this month to review recommendations and innovative ideas. There will be new features

to the Men’s League as well as the season long team event The Eliminator. Look for some changes to our Stag

and Golf Breakfast events as well. Our Ladies Golf Association under the leadership of Jaime Waterfield is

energized for the 2016 golf season. All of your favorite events are well into the planning stages.

Junior golf will feature a new schedule of activities for Pee Wee Golf, Junior Academy Summer Program, and

Hillcrest Hornets Team Golf. Junior Golf Coordinator Jerad Palmer will announce a complete schedule later

this winter.

Celebrity 2016 has found a new place on the calendar. The festivities will be held June 23rd - 24th - 25th. Mem-

bers may sign up for this event at the Celebrity Lottery Party hosted by the Member-Guest Committee on

February 19th

The newly designed Hole #4 turned out wonderfully. This hole along with a “State of the Art” short game

practice area and new concrete cart paths will be a fantastic improvement to our already beautiful course. We

are very excited for these areas to open for member use and I am certain you will enjoy them.

For those of you who enjoy riding while you play. Don’t forget about our annual cart lease program. If you

plan to ride in 2016, this is a great economical value for you. For more details on our cart lease program,

please see the ad in this addition on the Highlights.

2016 orders for the best golf equipment and apparel brands have been placed, and are due to arrive in our golf

shop late winter/early spring. We offer nothing but the finest selection for our members, and are confident that

our pricing is competitive. We will be able to provide customized fittings with the latest technology. Don’t

hesitate to call the golf staff with any of your golf equipment needs.

Looking forward to a terrific year!
