Hit ‘em straight!

Hello from Parkland Golf & Country Club! We created this blog in the hopes of giving you a taste for what life is like at Parkland Golf & Country Club, as well as other fabulous WCI Communities. This is your insider look at what makes being a resident and Member of Parkland Golf & Country Club so fabulous and to learn more about how you can join the Parkland family.

One of the things we pride ourselves on here at Parkland is the amount of Member events we host year-round. There is never a loss for things to do! Whether it’s a spa day, fitness class, golf lesson, cardio-tennis workout or simply enjoying a poolside cocktail, we truly offer a resort-style Club experience that the whole family can enjoy. I have a lot to show you around our beautiful clubhouse and community, and I would be happy to personally give you a tour next time you’re in the area.

Be sure to check back often on our blog for updates on fun activities and happenings at Parkland and other WCI Clubs.

We recently introduced a new pizza take-out menu option - Presto Pizza Pick-Up. We created a few pizza options, along with delicious calzones for a quick meal option for our members. It has been a great success and the members love it. We must have sold about 10 pizza pies after the first two days!

What has been a dish you have been craving lately? Or a story about a great dining experience you would like to share?

Here’s to the kitchen,

We just recently held the Look, Feel and Be Fabulous Event at The Bay Club. We wanted to offer our members something different, so we collaborated with the Chef and Fitness Director to provide a wellness event focusing on healthy cooking and exercises you can do even when you can’t make it to the gym. We also had our Éminence skincare specialist offering complimentary mini-services for all. Our members really benefited from the skincare specialist being present, asking a variety of questions about skincare regimen and what products would best suit their skin.

What is on your mind about taking care of your skin?

We had a booth at the Tampa Boat Show, September 9 - 11 at the Tampa Convention Center. We set up our booth to look and feel as if you were on The Bay Club’s pool deck along with beautiful view shots looking out onto the marina. I enjoyed talking with many visitors and was pleased to hear how they are very excited about our new lease rates and opportunities at the Westshore Yacht Club Marina. It was great to hear and see so much interest about the marina with great questions about the memberships for the marina and Bay Club (which is included with your marina membership). I have to tell you, having both memberships is very convenient. You can treat yourself to a spa treatment, have an invigorating workout, enjoy a drink at the tiki bar or indulge in a delicious meal. It’s the most fun you will have on and off land in the Tampa Bay area!

What boat show you are headed to next? Or, which show you were just at that really had your sails catching wind? We would love to hear about your excursions.

Have fun out there!
