having adequate staffing levels

Castle Pines is a seasonal

"I'm most proud of how we
have continued to elevate the
conditioning of the golf course
each and every year," McCue
said. "In addition to that I've had
the opportunity to be involved
in many different projects over
the years from a major bunker
renovation, new irrigation system
installation and now looking
forward to the re-grassing of
the greens in 2016. I feel very
fortunate to have the opportunities
here at the country club to make
significant improvements to our
infrastructure."
