GRAY PLANTATION CLUBS TO CLOSE TEMPORARILY TO ENGAGE COMMUNITY, MEMBERSHIP ON RESTRUCTURE AND RENOVATION

REVITALIZED CLUBS TO REOPEN AFTER COMMUNITY-FOCUSED ENHANCEMENTS

Gray Plantation, located at the center of the Graywood master-planned community, is temporarily closing all operations as it embarks on a major renovation, revitalization and refurbishment of the award-winning Clubs.

“We will not immediately reopen Gray Plantation when the ‘Stay at Home’ order is lifted. Rather, this pause is providing an opportunity to reengage with Gray Plantation members, the Graywood Community and the entire Lake Charles community,” said Billy Rase, general manager for Gray Plantation.

“In order to do that, we want to have dialog with members and homeowners. In some early conversations, we have already heard excellent input regarding facility enhancements, partnerships, strategic alliances and operational changes. There are no ideas or suggestions that are off the table as we begin our discussions,” he said.

“We want to re-energize the Clubs in a way that works for our members and our community and that ensures a strong financial future. Gray Plantation and our management team, with input from membership, intend to emerge improved and as a true source of pride for the community. We intend to improve tennis, fitness, swim, golf, social and food services to rival any club on the Gulf Coast. We will work to add tremendous value to every membership category,” Rase said.

Gray Plantation includes highly ranked membership-driven clubs within the master-planned development of Graywood, encompassing 660 homes featuring exquisite architectural standards and varied home styles appealing to residents ranging from young families to retirees.

The golf course at Gray Plantation is an artfully landscaped course designed by veteran Southern course architect Rocky Roquemore. One of 12 courses on Louisiana's prestigious Audubon Golf Trail, the Gray Plantation 18-hole, 7,200-yard semi-private championship course includes 60 acres of lakes, 94 bunkers and four par 3s. The Gray Plantation Clubs include a 15,000-square-foot antebellum-style clubhouse and pro shop, dining room, grill and conference room.

The Sports Club, opened in 2010, is unparalleled in Southwest Louisiana, with a state-of-the-art workout facility, 25-yard Junior Olympic lap pool, kids’ pool, eight clay tennis courts and two hard courts.

“We are taking this opportunity to reset and re-envision the Clubs.” “We are excited for the future.” Rase said.

AN UPDATE ON OUR SERVICES TO YOU

Governor John Bel Edwards has limited the size of gatherings to fewer than 10 people—while also stating that bars and gyms must close. Restaurants are limited to delivery and take-out orders only. A statewide stay-at-home order begins at 5 p.m. Monday.

Gov. Edwards says operations may be able to resume on April 13. However, the situation will be reevaluated a week before that date.

Here are the details on each Club area:
• The Golf Course remains open with normal business hours. Beverage Cart service is available on the course to provide beverages and snacks. At the beginning of your round or at the turn, please stop at the Golf Shop for beverages, snacks, and pre-made sandwiches.
• Cypress Grill is available for curbside to-go service. (Graywood residents also have the option of golf cart delivery.) Call 337-562-1206, ext. 2. The Cypress Grill team will bring your order to your vehicle (or golf cart) when you arrive. If you choose golf cart delivery, one of our staff members will happily bring your order to the address provided within Graywood.
• Edge Grill is closed.

• Sports Club is closed.

Thank you for your support of the Clubs, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

A MESSAGE TO OUR MEMBERS

Dear Members,

As you are aware, Coronavirus is a big topic of discussion, and new information is coming out each day. We want to take this opportunity to share that the Gray Plantation staff is especially focused on the safety and health of our members, guests, and fellow team members. We will be increasing the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting of all highly used surfaces throughout the Club. We will continue to follow the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals sanitation guidelines by ensuring all staff are washing their hands regularly and wearing gloves when handling food products. Our management team will be monitoring the daily updates and recommendations from the CDC and educating staff on prevention measures by providing up-to-date information to keep everyone protected.

Your Club will remain open, and we look forward to providing you an escape to relax, hit the courts, play a round of golf, or dine at one of your restaurants. We of course encourage everyone to be especially attentive to health and hygiene at this time. For instance, when using the workout facility, please use the available sanitation wipes to clean equipment and machines used during your workout. This is something that we always recommend as a courtesy to your fellow members, but this is an appropriate time to offer a reminder.

Also, yesterday Governor John Bel Edwards announced that public schools would close starting Monday, March 16, 2020, and remain closed until April 13, 2020. Many of our staff members have school-age kids. We are working to minimize any disruption to service or hours of operation while also being thoughtful about the special circumstances and potential challenges that this may create for staff members. If any changes to the operation need to take place, we will certainly communicate those changes, and we greatly appreciate your understanding. It is also my pleasure to hear from you with any questions or concerns, so please feel free reach out to me if you feel the need.

Thank you for your support of the Clubs, and we look forward to seeing you soon!
​
See you at the Clubs,

Billy Rase
