Brunch with Santa!

On Sunday, December 4, The Legends Club at Chateau Elan held their annual Brunch with Santa Event.There we two seatings, one at 11:00 a.m. and one at 1:00 p.m. Both seatings were sold out. Along with the Club's regular breakfast buffet items were two additional carving stations, numerous salads and side dishes, fresh seafood selections and many dessert options. Santa was available from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. The two seatings allowed members to visit Santa prior to, during or after brunch. Members were able to take their own pictures and videos of Santa with their children or grand children or have a staff member take pictures for them. There were a minimum of 3 newborns who had their "first Christmas with Santa pictures" taken. There were also some 4-generation pictures taken. The annual Brunch with Santa is always a big hit with the members, saving them time, energy and that dreaded trip to the mall where they have to wait in an endless line to have a photo taken with Santa. The Brunch is also a wonderful gathering of members who have the opportunity to meet other members. Just look at the smiles in the photos and you can see that Brunch with Santa is a pretty special event. Mike Bishop Vice President Legends & Private Membership mbishop@chateauelan.net

Planting to Putting – Updated August 8, 2011

This past January we made the decision to change out the Legends greens from Bent Grass to Champion Bermuda grass. Over the last several years, courses in the Atlanta area and even courses well north of Atlanta have switched over to Bermuda grass due to the hot summers and temperatures in the 90’s for up to three months. It’s a battle that most courses and greens superintendents loose each year, trying, but failing to maintain Bent Grass over the course of the summer. Then the courses spend nearly all fall attempting to get the greens back into good playing condition.

The New Legends Champion Bermuda Greens opened to the Members on Saturday, August 6. The greens, which were planted on May 31 took  approximately 4 to 6 weeks to completely fill in and another 4 weeks to fine tune and have them putting smoothly and quickly.

Legends Members were excited to try out the new putting surfaces on Friday, August 5 as the Club introduced the new greens at a member’s only reception and putting contest. The member comments ranged from “fantastic” to “amazing”. One member said that the “greens looked so perfect, they almost looked artificial.”

After their round of golf on Saturday, the members were all smiles and were so happy to be back playing the Legends. Due to the lack of play during the “grow in period” the fairways and tees were in perfect condition as well. I would have to say that the member’s expectations were exceeded. We welcome our members back and look forward to their enjoyment of the new Legends Champion Bermuda Greens.
