Welcome to the Tri-City Country Club!

The Tri-City Country Club has been a part of the Kennewick community for 70 years. It was the forethought of the original founders and all of the following Boards of Trustees and members through the years that has brought us to where we are now. The original founders of the Twin City Golf Club wanted to build a golf course for all in the area to enjoy. As the years passed, the officers and staff of the Club continued to provide both golf and social activities to make the Club an attractive facility to belong to. Times have changed a lot for private Clubs. Private clubs throughout the country have struggled due to changes in liquor and tax laws as well as competition from other facilities. Our current Board, Committees and Staff have worked hard to offer amenities while trying to live within the club’s budget. It is important to remind ourselves that we are stewards of the Tri-City Country Club and all that it stands for: Building the Club Experience!

The Club Experience revolves around; golf, dining, social activities, swimming, fitness facilities, amenity programs and much, much more! The Club gives friends and family a place to go and get away from the rigors of our daily lives and treat ourselves to the Club experience that you richly deserve. There are several major projects that will need to be addressed in the future. Renovations will eventually be needed on many areas of the Club including: plumbing and electrical, irrigation system, parking lot, swimming pool, pro shop, cart barns and more. Our goal is to develop a long range strategic plan to provide for the success of the Tri-City Country Club not only for now, but for another 70 plus years. We are the stewards of this beautiful facility for now and the future!

Thank You For Your Continued Support!

FROM THE MANAGER - NEW MEMBERS

Welcome to all of our new members!  Our membership committee has been working very hard to promote our club. Our spring membership drive has included the Eastern Washington Golf Expo and a Newspaper release that has generated excitement in many prospective members. Thank you to all the members who continue to introduce the club to prospective members and have helped make our spring membership drive a success!
The swimming pool will be opening on Saturday May 24th! Remember that we offer many poolside services, such as:  a poolside menu, children’s pool parties, swimming lessons, family B-B-Q’s and whatever else you may need. Come and bask in the sun and enjoy your pool.
With food costs and fuel surcharges changing daily, interesting times may be ahead in the Food & Beverage industry. The goal of your food and beverage staff is to maintain our operational costs to minimize impact on menu pricing without sacrificing quality. Look for new menu creations in May including a new “Three Course Dinner” available Tuesday through Thursday for you to enjoy! 
If any members are interested in doing some advertising we have 3 unsold spots on our tee signs. These are available at a cost of $500.00 for a 3 year term. Call me to reserve your spot!
Please call me with any comments, concerns or questions.  We strive to serve all of your needs.
Respectfully,

Chris Isaacson, General Manager

TEE TO GREEN
  This past month we have been having some irrigation issues.  We lost 14 time clocks over the winter.  This was due mostly to the age of the timers, which were made of plastic with plastic gears that get brittle over time.  Now that they have been replaced we are off and running.  The age of the system is starting to show a bit with pipe leaks happening here and there. 
  The new topdressing sand that we are using has been great.  It is certified USGA sand and works well into our soil profile.  This will help with both water holding capacity and keeping the greens firm. 
  Thanks for continuing to fix your ball marks and repair your divots. 

Bo Lacy, GCSAA Golf Course Superintendent

FROM THE PRO SHOP - SPRING IS HERE!

We are definitely into the full swing of the golf season and the golf course is staying very busy.  Please check the Tri-Talk or the website (tccountryclub.com) for   Upcoming Events so you are not caught by surprise by an event.
As members you are allowed to make tee times up to one week in advance. Please try to make your reservations early so you can be assured the tee time you want.  If you call on the same day for a tee time our staff will always do their best to get you taken care of.  We are here to serve all of your golfing needs.
A “Great Pace of Play Everyday” is one of our mottos. Please strive for a maximum of 12 minutes per hole and allow faster groups to play through when you have open space in front of you on the course. If we follow these rules the game is more enjoyable to all.
When you invite guests to join you, please take a       moment to remind them of the proper dress code.  Men must have a shirt with a collar (mocks are okay), and sleeves.  Ladies must have a shirt with either a collar or sleeves or a minimum shoulder seam of 3”.  If shorts are to be worn they must be at least mid-thigh in length.
Respectfully,
Chris Isaacson, PGA GOLF PROFESSIONAL
Dedicated to making golf more fun!
