Hello Whiskey Creek neighbors!
For those of you I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet, my name is Wyler Gins. I’m the vice president of the Whiskey Creek Civic Association and the clubhouse director of the Whiskey Creek Country Club. My wife, Sally, and I have lived in Whiskey Creek for the past eight years, and during that time we’ve been incredibly blessed to see our family grow to five with the addition of our three amazing daughters.
Chances are you’ve seen me around—cruising the neighborhood in the evenings with my girls on “bunny patrol,” heading to the golf course with my clubs in hand, or out front of my house working my way through the ever-growing “honey-do list.” One of the biggest reasons we chose to move to Whiskey Creek was the golf course, and I’m proud to volunteer my time to help ensure that both our club and our community continue to thrive. I truly love living here and feel incredibly lucky to be raising my family in such a special place.
One of the most common questions I get is:
“Is the Whiskey Creek Country Club affiliated with the Whiskey Creek Civic Association?”
The short answer is no. Joining the Whiskey Creek Civic Association (WCCA) does not make you a member of the Whiskey Creek Country Club (WCCC). That said, we are proud community partners. The WCCA focuses on improving the neighborhood as a whole, and a thriving, successful country club benefits our entire community—including our property values. One of my biggest goals has been helping bridge the gap between the community and the club, and it’s been incredibly exciting to see so many neighbors joining, visiting, and reconnecting with the club. As more people experience the newly renovated clubhouse and Chef Roland’s delicious new menu, I’m confident that enthusiasm and support will only continue to grow.
Speaking of improvements—while the WCCC clubhouse recently received a facelift, the WCCA is busy giving both of our community entrances a makeover as well. A huge thank you to all of our residents who support the Civic Association each year. Without you, we wouldn’t have been able to fund this $50,000-plus project. And a special shout-out to Tidewater Landscaping and Extreme Painting for transforming the look and feel of our entrances. This is just the beginning. With your help, we are committed to continuing to enhance our curb appeal, protect property values, and make you proud every time you turn into Whiskey Creek. It truly is a special community.
Looking ahead, the Whiskey Creek Civic Association is excited to announce the 4th Annual Battle at the Creek Golf Tournament, scheduled for May 15 at the Whiskey Creek Country Club. This year’s event will benefit the PACE Center for Girls, an incredible nonprofit supporting local middle and high school girls with the resources they need to thrive. The tournament will be a four-person scramble with a 1:30 p.m. shotgun start. Sponsorship opportunities and team spots fill up fast, so if you’re interested, please email [email protected] to save your place. More details coming soon!
And of course, March is packed with fun things to look forward to. Spring training is in full swing with the Red Sox and Twins in town. Who’s planning on drinking green beer on St. Patrick’s Day and maybe trying to catch a leprechaun? Parents everywhere are counting down to spring break (kids are counting louder). And then there’s March Madness—will this finally be the year you have the perfect bracket before it all wraps up on April 4?
Finally, thank you to everyone who has already joined the Civic Association. If you haven’t yet, I encourage you to consider the $125 annual household membership. If that amount isn’t possible, or if giving more meets your capacity, please give what you can. Our goal is 100% community involvement, because a strong, unified neighborhood benefits everyone. You can sign up online at whiskeycreeknews.net/membership.
Be sure to also sign up for our monthly electronic newsletter so you never miss community updates. You can subscribe at whiskeycreeknews.net/stay-up-to-date-with-the-wcca or simply email [email protected] and we’ll get you added.
Thank you for being such an incredible community. Whiskey Creek isn’t just where we live—it’s where we connect, grow, and look out for one another. I’m honored to serve alongside so many passionate neighbors, and I can’t wait to see what we continue to accomplish together.
Warm regards,
Wyler Gins
