Golf Shop Hours

Starting Monday, October 8th the Golf Shop hours of operation will be from 7:00 am - 6:30 pm. The Back Shop will remain open until the last members are off the Golf Course. Our driving range and practice facilities will be opened in the mornings a half hour prior to the first tee time and will close approximately an hour before sunset.

From the Grounds Department

As you may have already noticed Aldo and his grounds crew have started to prepare the golf course for the off-season by Mini Tine venting our greens. This provides oxygen to the root system which will help to strengthen the grass before the cold weather returns. Preparation for the winter will continue over the next month and we will keep you informed of the process through our weekly e-blasts.

It’s also very important over the next month that we are all doing our part to assist our grounds crew in maintaining the health of our golf course. We ask all members to ensure you are replacing your divots (in particular on the par 3 tee decks) and repairing all your ball marks. If a divot cannot be replaced then we encourage you to use the dirt mixture provided on the golf carts and on the par 3 tees.

Monday, October 8th

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend! With the holiday this Monday we will not be doing our regular scheduled range maintenance. As a result, the driving range will be open all day Monday, October 8th.

Joe Spiler & Gino Paolone

2018 Ladies Champions:Trish Farrow & Daleen Venter — 2018 Ladies Champions:
Trish Farrow & Daleen Venter

This past weekend we contested our Annual Member Member tournament. This is one of the more unique member events in our calendar year that uses 4 different 9 hole formats over the course of 2 days of competition. These formats include Alternate Shot, Best Ball, Scramble and Total Score. The key to winning this event can be summed up in one word: CONSISTENCY. It is more about where you finish in relation to the field each day rather than your actual scores.

In the Men’s Division, Gino Paolone and Joe Spiler were the most consistent in the field placing 13th in Total Score (33 Points), 10th in Alternate Shot (35.5 Points), Tied for 4th in Team Scramble (40.5 Points) and 15th in Best Ball (30.5 Points) for a 2 day total of 139.5 Points.

In the Ladies Division, the top 3 teams all finished within 1.50 points of each other but in the end it was the consistent play of Trish Farrow and Daleen Venter who became 2018 Member Member Champions with a point total of 34!!!

Below are the main results of the day. The details results are all available under the Events & Registration tab after logging into the member central section of the Lookout Point website.

Ladies Annual Tombstone Tournament

September 11, 2018

September 9th, 2018

22 ladies braved the cold and wind to participate in our hilarious and ghoulish 2 person event that tests the will to live! Tombstones, skeletons, rats and scary creatures were featured along with great prizes and food.

Our first to die on #17 tee deck were Karen Tribble and Joanne Catena. The team of Terry-Lynn Adamson and Marilyn Chute “lived” the longest, almost making it to the 18th green.

Stay tuned next year for another twisted tournament of survival!

Our Titleist Golf Ball promo (Buy a dozen and get entered to win a bike) has come to a close. We are pleased to announce that Henk Venter was the winner of the draw! Congrats Henk, although it may be tough to steer with one arm.

Busy week at the club...

Lots going on these days at Lookout Point! Our Men's & Ladies leagues are in full swing in the final stages of their year-long competitions, and we have a couple of events coming up, some of which are still open for registration:
