From the General Manager’s Desk – October 2026

KMCC Members & Guests,

As we begin to wind down the outdoor golf season here at Koshkonong Mounds Country Club, it’s a wonderful time to reflect on what an incredible season it has been!

As many of you know, we took on a significant increase in events this year while also welcoming a record number of rounds played on our course. Throughout the season, our staff has had the opportunity to be part of so many memorable moments, made possible in large part by the special sense of community our members and guests have built here at KMCC.

On behalf of our entire staff, THANK YOU for making our 102nd season in 2026 one to remember!

Winter Bar & Kitchen Serving Hours

For the first time, KMCC will be keeping our bar and kitchen open throughout the winter season! We're excited to offer our place to gather, enjoy a great meal, have a drink, and catch up with friends even after the golf season comes to an end.

There will be occasions when private events require us to close, but we will do our best to communicate those dates in advance. Look for the new winter menu, food and drink specials - dine in or take out - and game nights.

• Monday: Closed
• Tuesday: 11 am - 2 pm (lunch)
• Wednesday: 11 am - 8 pm (lunch & dinner)
• Thursday: 11 am - 2 pm (lunch)
• Friday: 11 am - 8 pm (lunch & dinner)

WHAT'S NEW?

Throughout the season, several positive changes and improvements have taken place at Koshkonong Mounds Country Club, and we would certainly like to highlight a few!

Food & Beverage Leadership

Shaughn Kennedy joined our KMCC team as F&B Director in January and made an immediate impact during his first full season. He jumped right into leading and coordinating the many events we hosted throughout the year, while also becoming a familiar face during what turned out to be our busiest Friday Fish Fry season ever!

We were also fortunate to welcome Head Chef, Tom Rotzoll, in August. With an extensive background in supper club dining, Tom has been an incredible addition to our kitchen and has already made a noticeable impact. Together, Shaughn and Tom have brought fresh energy and experience to our Food & Beverage operations, and we look forward to what they have in store for KMCC!

Clubhouse & Course Beautification

KMCC’s Beautification Committee did a wonderful job ensuring our clubhouse entrances were welcoming throughout the season with beautiful flower arrangements. The committee also helped bring the vision for the new cart path turnaround on Hole #14 to life! Another project currently underway is the area behind the #8 tee, where a large rock was recently relocated. We look forward to seeing the finished result next year!

New Golf Cart Fleet

Our new fleet of golf carts hit the course this season, and what an EXCELLENT upgrade! From a more comfortable ride to dual sand bottles and ball and club washers that don’t leak, these carts have made a noticeable difference for both our golfers and outside operations staff!

Irrigation Improvements & Course Conditions

KMCC invested considerable time, effort, and resources into addressing a longstanding irrigation issue that has caused challenges for several years. While the work is not entirely complete, significant progress has been made. Our grounds crew has done a phenomenal job maintaining the course and keeping it in terrific condition throughout the season. And on a side note, our fall aerification went great, too!

WHAT'S NEXT?

While these improvements are certainly worth celebrating, our work at KMCC is far from finished! We have several exciting projects on the horizon, but there is one major upgrade that our Board of Directors and staff are especially eager to share with our members.

Beginning in 2027, KMCC will introduce Lightspeed, an all-new club management software system designed to improve the overall member experience and streamline our daily operations.

One of the most exciting features will be a new mobile app, giving KMCC members convenient access to services and information that were previously unavailable or, at times, challenging to navigate.

Through the new app, members will be able to:

• Review account balances and make payments in real time

• Make golf and dining reservations

• Track spending and account activity

• Communicate with KMCC staff

• Place food orders

• Request services such as club repairs, golf lessons, handicap flags, and more!

We are incredibly excited about the opportunities this new technology will bring to KMCC. As with any major transition, there will certainly be a learning curve, and we appreciate your patience as our staff becomes familiar with the new system.

Ultimately, this investment is about providing our members and guests with the level of service they deserve while giving our staff the tools they need to succeed. We look forward to sharing more details as we get closer to the launch!

2027 MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS

Our KMCC staff is currently preparing 2027 membership renewals, and information will be shared with members by end of month. We look forward to another wonderful year.

There’s certainly a lot to cover as we wrap up another great season at KMCC, and I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to read through these updates. Thank you again for your continued support and for being part of what makes Koshkonong Mounds such a special place. As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, thoughts, or suggestions. I always welcome hearing from you!
