2024 Greens Committee Members

The Greens Committee at Kenmure Country Club will play a vital role in bridging communication between our golf course maintenance team and our club members.  The committee will not only learn and understand the details of course maintenance and keep members informed about course conditions and projects, but will also be relaying member feedback to the staff.  The members comprise a diverse group of individuals with varied backgrounds and interests in golf and course management.
