The Blog has been criticized for only addressing negative topics. This Blog topic will address positive changes at Desert Princess Country Club.
For example: Here are the changes we have seen instituted by our new Golf Pro.
Now is your chance to add your own positive comments on changes you have seen in our community. The Blog would like to hear your thoughts.

As an owner for the past 25 years and an avid golfer it’s a welcome and refreshing news to hear of the potential new changes being made to the pro shop!

Yes, Rodney is making several positive changes. Good to have a Pro bringing us forward to more modern times.

After many years of an apathetic golf pro who was more interested in 5 card hold em than driving revenue, we finally have found a professional. Now, I wouldn't know the golf pro if I tripped over him but he apparently is doing an excellent job. So, kudos to him. I am usually very critical of all things operational on the property but in this case I have to agree. Business acumen is very important and our current golf pro understands that. I'm happy you are here. You are obviously a human who is serious about your business.

Great start. In the summer would love to see them offer some carts for weekly/monthly rental for residents. They need to go back to renting carts that can stay out until sunset all year. They've lost our greens fees because carts have to be back by 2 pm. We just play elsewhere. Very disappointing not to be able to play our home course.

Yes, Rodney should be given a pay increase for all of these positive changes. He has even more changes to coming as well. Can't wait to try the new bunkers on Lagos.

The golf courses were one of the "reasons" that encouraged me to live at DPCC.

While not a full-time resident, I applaud the formation of an owners committee that includes full-time, seasonal and rental owners. The problem we've experienced in recent years is divisive policies at DP that have resulted in anger within our community. All owners are entitled to equal considerations.

Yes, I agree...all would be welcomed. Full-time residents get a "bigger" picture of the overall operations than most others. For example, a full-time resident would easily recognize the issues related to "speeding drivers," gardening/landscaping practices, security operations, etc.

It is positive that the Board is attempting to address longer-standing problems such as the need to remove trees and adopt improved water use strategies. Unfortunately, many of these efforts increase costs. Nevertheless, they need to be addressed strategically. It is good that attempts are in place to do this.

I was so pleased to see a positive comment in this blog, it’s been awhile in coming. I am not a golfer, but came from a golfing family, so I understand how thrilled the golfers are about the changes in the pro shop. I, also, have been pleased with the fast response my husband and I have gotten from our service requests. Keep up the good work.

The preview to this blog talks about the almost one million dollars being spent for upgrading the fitness room for $400,000 with almost zero income to service or pay down the expenditure, and $500,00 to update the patio area at the clubhouse.( Insert your own conclusion.)

It's amazing what happens when you actually start running a business AS a business and hire business people to do it.
