When asked what winning these awards means to Pinecrest Golf Club, General Manager Rick Walrath answered, "During another challenging year with various headwinds, Pinecrest turned in a stellar season from a financial, customer satisfaction and employee feedback standpoint. Pinecrest also executed an off-season focus change by creating a new golf offering with simulators and food and beverage service while still hosting private events in The Grille.  I couldn’t be prouder of the team and their success which is due in large part to embracing the Culture First mantra of Landscapes Golf Management. The team leaders and front-line staff make Pinecrest a fun and unique place to golf."
