Stonebridge Country Club Is Not Just A Community – It’s A Lifestyle
Leslie Greenberg and her husband moved to Stonebridge Country Club 15 years ago. Stonebridge, a mandatory membership gated community, had everything they were looking for in a country club setting. Most of the 398 homes in Stonebridge are situated on at least one-third-acre lots, and, because there were multiple builders onsite during the development of the community, Stonebridge does not have a cookie cutter look.
Having previously served as vice president of sales at Nabisco Brands (the firstfemale to hold that position) and, later, as president and CEO of an international Belgian chocolate company, Greenberg did not realize that she would soon be embarking upon a second career – as president of a country club.
Greenberg started volunteering on various committees and eventually became a member of the board of governors. After three years as vice president, Greenberg was elected president last year. During her tenure, she has worked tirelessly to make Stonebridge one of Boca Raton’s premier country clubs.
The key to that success, she says, is “hiring seasoned professionals who have a vision and lots of creativity.”
In the past four years, the community, under Greenberg’s guidance, has hired a new general manager, a new executive chef, a new pastry chef, a new director of membership and marketing and a new director of golf, all designed to ensure “excellent member satisfaction.”
In addition to new management, Stonebridge, having already completed an entire renovation of its clubhouse, recently renovated its golf course, updated its tennis and pool complex and purchased state-of-the-art equipment for its enlarged fitness center. Although primarily known as a golf community, Greenberg also recognized the need to expand what was being offered to its existing and potential new members. With fewer people playing golf, Stonebridge recently enlarged its sports complex to include pickleball and basketball.
“The key to our club, especially as a relatively small club, is that we have to adapt to the changing times, and we have done a good job of creating and implementing a strategic plan that does just that,” Greenberg says. “What sets Stonebridge apart from most other clubs is its sense of community and its warm, welcoming membership.”
Stonebridge Country Club is located at 10343 Stonebridge Blvd., Boca Raton. For more information, call 561-488-0800 or visit stonebridgefl.com.
