Why Wyles Won the Excellence in Club Management Award

Chris Wyles, GM/COO at Bald Peak Colony Club in Melvin Village, N.H., saw 10,000 of the club's trees downed by a single storm in 2017. Wyles successfully led the club's recovery while enhancing Bald Peak's reputation as a destination for members. Under his leadership, the club generated support for capital improvements such as a golf practice facility, introduced activities like Bocce Night and golf skills challenges, and improved F&B by 31% in five seasons. For his work, Wyles was awarded the Excellence in Club Management® Mead Grady Award this past year. Club + Resort Business.

Enforce the standards firmly and fairly and provide the staff a safe and productive environment to build community. Global Golf Advisors.
