February 3, 2012 LPN Newsletter


Dear Members:

It looks as though winter is finally going to make an appearance at the lake.  Forecast calls for plenty of rain and snow so I hope everyone has had a chance to take advantage of the great weather we have had over the past couple of months. 

I believe this is the first time we have recorded significant rounds of golf played in each month of the year.  On New Year’s Eve we had 52 rounds played and in January a total of 149 rounds recorded.  Thanks to all that paid their 2012 golf dues.  I appreciate your continued support in the LPN. 

Thank you for all the positive comments regarding the new menu and the opening for breakfast on the weekends. Our restaurant business is up significantly since the beginning of the year and breakfast business should do nothing but continue to increase as more individuals become aware of our new offerings.  Plans are to expand on days open for breakfast as the busy season gets closer. 

Our new booths are scheduled to arrive on Monday to give the Links Lounge a new look.  A special thank you to the Iowa Industrial Tools Group for their generous donation to make the new booths a reality in memory of Mr. Charles Iler. Thank you to all of those who have donated time and money to the LPN over the years. As I look back at some of the projects that have been completed, it is most fair to say that some would not have been completed without the generosity of our members and guests.  We truly have a special place.

I hope this note finds everyone healthy and well.  Only about 5 to 6 weeks until spring.  What a wonderful winter we have had so far.  I hope we don’t end up paying for it in the next few weeks.

God bless and thank you for your continued support.

General Manager/Director of Golf

Lake Panorama National Golf Course:


Lake Panorama National Golf Course is the main attraction at the Resort and offers one of the best-conditioned courses in the state of Iowa. In 2008, a double row irrigation system was installed making even better course conditions for players of all skill levels. Golf Digest gives the magnificent golf course a 4-Star Rating on it’s Places to Play in America. The golf course is truly a “must play” course in Iowa.

Lake Panorama National Golf Course is the host of the Iowa Open Golf Championship.  The Iowa Section PGA and Brokers International Ltd. signed a five year deal in 2009 to host the Iowa Open at Lake Panorama.  Brokers International Ltd. will be the title sponsor of the championship from 2010 to 2014. 

The Brokers International Ltd. Iowa Open will be played August 16 – 19, 2012.  The Iowa Section PGA, Brokers International Ltd. and Lake Panorama National Resort are excited for year two of the championship as it will continue to get bigger and better every year.

2012 Golf Membership Information:

We would like to thank you for another great year in 2011 at Lake Panorama, your support continues to showcase how special a place Lake Panorama is. Your staff is already gearing up to ensure your 2012 golf season will be the best ever.

As part of our planning for 2012, we conducted a cost/revenue analysis of the rounds played this year. Just less than 27,000 rounds of golf were played at LPN in 2011. Expenses for the golf operation and grounds maintenance were about $500,000, which translated into a per-round cost of $18.51.

We took the analysis one step further and looked at member and non-member rounds and related revenue. We found each member round brought in $16.98, with each non-member round at $24.89. Members accounted for 49% of the rounds.

This analysis demonstrated two things. One, the LPN needs both member and non-member rounds to pay the bills, as costs to maintain our outstanding golf course continue to rise. Two, memberships, trail fees and member range fees didn’t cover the per-round costs for members in 2011. For 2012, some increases are being made in our daily and stay-and-play fees. We also determined a dues increase of about 10% is necessary for members.

Below you’ll also find information on 2012 events and Special and Distance membership applications. Special Memberships are limited to those who were not LPN members in 2011. Distance Memberships are for people who are not LPA members, and do not have a residence within 18 miles of LPN.

Please think about people who might be interested in an LPN membership. You will receive a $50 Pro Shop Merchandise credit for every new membership you sign up for 2012. You also will receive two free rounds of golf when we receive your 2012 membership application and payment.

To add more value to your LPN membership, we are again securing reciprocal agreements for 2012. We expect these to include Ames G&CC, Bent Tree GC (Council Bluffs), Briarwood Club (Ankeny), Carroll CC, Elmwood CC (Marshalltown), Fort Dodge CC, Indianola CC, Lake Creek GC (Storm Lake), Legend Trail GC (Parkersburg), Waverly GC, Mason City CC, Spencer CC, The Ridge GC (Sioux Center), Ottumwa CC, Landsmeer GC (Orange City), Willow Creek (Lemars), Majestic Hills (Denison) and Atlantic G&CC.

Please don’t hesitate to contact the staff if you have questions. We cannot thank you enough for your support of Lake Panorama National, and look forward to continuing to serve you in 2012.

Winter Golf Course Conditions:

The Golf Course will remain open for play as long as weather and course turf conditions permit.

In our annual effort to protect our turfgrass during the winter months and ensure course conditions are optimal for next spring, the following maintenance has been completed.

Heavy Top Dressing of all the greens.

The Top Dress will remain on the greens over the winter for turf protection. The Top Dressing will help protect the blades of grass by not exposing the crown of the plant. Even though the course is open, the top dressing is required for our greens and will hopefully help and limit the damage to the plant’s crown caused by foot traffic.

CART PATH ONLY until next spring.

All golf carts must remain on the cart paths during your round. This also includes remaining on the paths to and from the golf course. The irrigation system has been shut down for the winter. Therefore, it is very important that golf cart traffic remain off the turf.

Remember: Golf cart tracks made during the winter will still be visible in the spring.

We hope the weather provides a couple more days of golf and we ask that everyone help protect our turf during the upcoming winter months

January 6, 2012 LPN Newsletter


Dear Members:

Happy New Year to all and I hope everyone is enjoying this great weather.  Many rounds of golf have been played the past couple of days so I hope you have had a chance to get a few swings in. 

The Links Restaurant is open with new menu items and we are excited about opening for breakfast on the weekends.  Most anything you would like will be made cook to order.  Give it a try and I am sure you will not be disappointed.

Other than that, business has remained steady and having 52 rounds of golf played on December 31 has pushed 2011 total rounds over 27,000.  We have only done that one other time in the past 12 years. 

We welcome 2012 and anticipate a fantastic year.  Thanks to everyone.  Our business continues to grow and it is entirely because of the great people and support you shown.

I hope this note finds all healthy and well.
