MESSAGE FROM JOHN REILLY

Dear Members,

As we turn the page into September, there’s a vibrant energy across the Club. From the excitement of our tennis events and pickleball leagues, to creative culinary features like seared trout and dessert-inspired cocktails. This season is brimming with opportunities to gather, connect, and celebrate.

This month also brings unique experiences for every interest - like brunch with llamas, a fly-fishing adventure, or an immersive evening at our upcoming Murder Mystery Dinner. Wellness remains at the heart of our community as well, with restorative yoga, fitness challenges, and Strata Med programs that support healthy living at every stage.

Looking ahead, we are especially thrilled to host the Quantum Peak Retreat in October, a transformative experience of healing and self-discovery that we are proud to offer our members at a special rate.

Thank you for making Garden of the Gods Resort and Club such a remarkable place to belong. I look forward to seeing you around the Club this month.

Sincerely,

TASTES & SIPS

SIP of the MONTH: SHORTCAKE À LA FRAISE

Meet dessert in a glass. This indulgent cocktail blends Tito’s Vodka with the nutty warmth of Frangelico, swirled with ripe strawberry and a silky touch of white chocolate. It’s sweet, creamy, and just a little bit flirty - like strawberry shortcake all grown up. Perfect for sipping when you want to skip the fork and go straight for the fun. $13 at Grand View & Rocks.

TASTE OF THE MONTH

SEARED TROUT

Summer on a plate! Our perfectly seared trout is paired with a grilled peach & chili-mint salsa that packs just the right kick. A crisp fennel salad adds refreshing crunch, while a drizzle of corn vinaigrette ties it all together with sweet, golden flavor. Light, vibrant, and gluten-free - this dish is sunshine you can eat. Available on the menu at Rocks Lounge for $36.

Click here watch Chef de Cuisine Adam Grover plate this flavorful dish!

BRUNCH WITH LLAMAS

Sunday, September 28th | 11am - 1pm

Reservations for brunch and for the llama meet and greet must be made separately. You must book a llama spot for each individual in your party, including children of all ages. Book yours now, as spots will fill up fast!

Save the Date for our October Brunch with Llamas: Sunday, October 19th

Registration will open in next month's newsletter on October 1st.

This is your opportunity to meet the llamas of our partner, Luxy Llama , learn about them, feed them and of course, snap a photo with them!

Why llamas? Goat yoga had its momentnow it’s time for something more intentional. The Luxy Llama experience offers a nontraditional path to wellness, much like equine therapy, but with the gentle, grounding presence of llamas. Spend time in nature, connect with these resilient and peaceful animals, and leave feeling more centered and joyful.

REMINDERS FROM THE GOLF TEAM

FALL GOLF COURSE AERIFICATION:

Just a reminder, fall golf course aerification will begin Tuesday, September 2nd. This process will include aerification of greens, approaches, fairways, and rough. Greens will be aerified the first week of September and our maintenance team will finish the rest of the golf course throughout the rest of the month.

DRESS CODE:

Please make sure you are dressed appropriately when using the golf course and practice range. When in doubt please ask a member of the Professional Staff for assistance.

GENERAL COURSE MAINTENANCE TIPS:

Please remember to fill your divots with the sand/seed provided on your golf carts. The golf course will show out much better as we move into winter and most importantly in the Spring. Please repair your ball mark and 1-2 others when on the putting surface. Leave it better than you found it. You will be amazed at how much better the greens will roll!

KCLGA GOLDEN LEGACY AWARD

Beginning in 2024, the Gold Rush Tournament Committee chose to recognize a KCLGA member who has provided extraordinary service, leadership, and dedication to our game and community through the creation of the Golden Legacy Award. This year, the honor was presented to Carlene Decker.

Carlene’s impact on Colorado golf is profound. A former elite tennis competitor, she transitioned to golf around age 50 and has been shaping the game ever since. Since joining Kissing Camels in 2003, she has led with wisdom, strengthened our teams, and generously shared her expertise in the rules of golf.

Her leadership extended well beyond our club. Carlene served on the Colorado Women’s Golf Association and the Commonground Committee, playing a pivotal role in transforming Mira Vista into Commonground Golf Course - an achievement that led to her induction into the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame in 2010. She has officiated at national events, guided competitions like the Shirley Cup, and mentored countless players along the way.

First awarded in 2024 to Peggy Yockey, the Golden Legacy Award continues to celebrate those who advance women’s golf and inspire others. Carlene embodies that spirit completely.

Please join us in celebrating Carlene Decker, the 2025 Golden Legacy Award recipient - a true champion for the game and for women’s golf.

SEPTEMBER IS HEALTHY AGING MONTH

STRATA MED IS HERE TO SUPPORT YOU

From restorative sleep and stress management to cutting-edge therapies like shock wave treatment, Strata Med offers a full spectrum of support to help you feel your best - at every stage of life.

SLEEP HYGIENE

Nothing goes well if you don’t sleep well. Unfortunately, sleep can be slippery to catch. However, there are simple steps you can take to improve both the quantity and quality of your slumber.

Join us at the next Lunch and Learn on Thursday, September 25, where Dr. Sheila Bee will be sharing what you need to know about sleep hygiene. How light, darkness, food, drink, exercise, and stress affect your sleep and what you can do to wake up feeling restored.

Register for the Lunch & Learn or Schedule an appointment with Dr. Bee to get sleep hygiene techniques by calling 719-749-3308.

STRESS MANAGEMENT

Have you ever wished your life could be stress-free? On the other hand, have you ever thought about how stress can be good? It sounds counter-intuitive, but a stress-free life may not be what we really want.

If we don’t have anything expected of us, there’s no task to complete, no challenge to meet, nothing to do but be entertained all the time, we can lack meaning and purpose in life. Instead of attempting to eliminate stress, we can work to build resilience to withstand stress and grow stronger with time.

Learn about Dr. Bee’s Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART) course , or book a one-on-one appointment to take control of stress in a positive, sustainable way. Call 719-749-3308 to get started.

DR. BEE

TESTIMONIAL

Hear from Strata Med patients and fellow Garden of the Gods Resort Members on how Dr. Bee has helped them:

“Completing the SMART Training with Dr. Sheila Bee has given me a deep awareness of my mind-body health. Through her guidance, I've developed positive strategies to become the best version of myself. I now take a much-needed hour each day to set personal goals and focus on my well-being. I live more fully in the present, appreciate life’s moments, and prioritize my health and nutrition. I’ve also begun to reach out more—socially and pro-socially—and have expanded and embraced my spiritual life. Most importantly, I’ve learned to love myself more and to let go of blame for things beyond my control.” ~Anonymous Garden of the Gods Club Member
