New Dining Experiences Inside And Out
When Nick Jolly began working as the Food and Beverage Director at Gleneagles Country Club in Delray Beach, he never dreamed he would be there 21 years later. Jolly, who is currently Assistant General Manager, has seen the club through two major clubhouse renovations and several dining concepts, including one slated for completion later this year.
Gleneagles offers 1,082 residences including single-family homes, garden villas and midrise condos. There are two 18-hole championship golf courses, a tennis complex, pickleball courts, a healthy lifestyle center, spa and resort-style pool. Its three full-service restaurants have always been one of Jolly’s top priorities.

“His energy level and his passion for food and beverage stands out, and it’s a motivating and inspiring factor,” says Food and Beverage Director, Regan Samaniego, who has worked with Jolly for more than 15 years. “I lean on his expertise and experience to make the most informed decisions I can.”
Gleneagles offers a variety of dining options including the Legends Dining Room, which serves breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, and the Grille Room and Glen Bar, which feature casual lunch and dinner as well as cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in the evening.
The Veranda, which opened in 2015, is undergoing renovations. Once an open-air restaurant, it is being enclosed so it can be used year-round, and will offer the option to eat inside or out. Completion is slated for November.
At the start of the pandemic, Gleneagles’ food and beverage department became a lifeline for club members, says Jolly. The restaurant was delivering more than 300 meals a night. A call center was created and food was being delivered via golf cart. No one was laid off.
“Our members have always felt safe. We are now budgeting for a full season including theme parties, New Year’s Eve and dinner shows. We pack a lot into the season,” says Jolly.
Gleneagles Country Club is located at 7667 Victory Lane, Delray Beach. For more information, call 561-498-3606 or visit gleneagles.cc.
