Posted: January 10, 2012
Happy New Year to all Shoals Club members! We hope 2012 is off to a great start for you and your family. It was wonderful to see so many members on the island during the holidays. We wanted to take this opportunity to thank all members for the tremendous support you showed the Shoals Club in 2011. Your comments, encouragement and great feedback are helping us to improve the Shoals Club facility, our food and beverage offerings, and our recreational programs for 2012.
The Shoals Club will reopen for the season on Friday, March 23, 2012, and we will be holding our first Members’ Dinner of the season on Friday, March 30. We hope you can make plans to attend. Along with more Members’ Dinners, we have additional Members’ Socials, Chef’s Tables and Wine Dinners planned for the coming year. In March we’ll be circulating our complete calendar for 2012, which will have all of these great events highlighted, along with our signature holiday parties and special dinners.
While the Shoals Club is closed to members over the next several weeks, we’ll take advantage of that time to do a deep cleaning of the clubhouse and to take care of minor maintenance issues. We are also pleased to announce the addition of two new outdoor showers on the main pool deck-coming in from the beach, rinsing off, and enjoying the pool has never been easier. Along with contributing to the convenience of members, the outdoor showers, which will have built-in “sand mats,” will help to keep the Shoals Club pools cleaner. Additionally, a handsome new wooden pergola is being constructed over the Sandbar Grille deck area (see image above). The pergola will provide shade for diners and will make enjoying a meal by the pool that much more enjoyable.
The Shoals Club remains staffed in the off-season, so please don’t hesitate to call or email if you have any suggestions or questions. Again, thank you for your support in 2011, and we look forward to seeing you this spring when our doors reopen on March 23.

Nearly 500 Guests Enjoy Annual Labor Day Party
Posted By: admin
Posted: September 8, 2011

This year’s annual Shoals Club Labor Day Members’ Celebration definitely lived up to its billing! Ideal weather, fabulous food and drink, and the musical sounds of summer greeted members and their guests as they arrived at the 9th Annual Labor Day Members’ Celebration. The evening was so beautiful that the scene was almost magical - from the white lights and candlelight glowing on the pool deck, to the white caps visible on the nearby shoals. A party is a party, but a gathering at one of Bald Head Island’s most picture-perfect locations is an event, and this event did not disappoint.
Over 460 members and their guests gathered poolside, on decks and porches, and in the cooler Shoals Club interior to celebrate the close of the summer season. It was a great time for visiting with old friends and neighbors and making new island acquaintances.
Everyone enjoyed the culinary delights presented poolside by Chef John Turner and his staff. There was truly “something for everyone.” Tables featuring antipasto, sushi, and fresh pasta were popular gathering spots. A seafood station featured delicious shrimp, oysters on the half shell, crab legs, crab cakes and salmon. A carving station featuring slow roasted beef tenderloin remained busy throughout the evening. In the main dining room, with its new window formation offering beautiful northward views, guests sampled many fresh baked desserts including fudge brownies, a variety of cookies, cheesecake, and the very popular coconut and cranberry macaroons.
The dance floor was a lively spot as guests moved to the sounds of oldies, popular tunes, and beach music classics performed by the talented Carl Newton and the Fifth Avenue Band. Members who weren’t shagging were swaying to the music or singing along to their favorite tunes.
Labor Day weekend is a special time for all Bald Head Islanders. We nostalgically celebrate the final days of summer, yet also anticipate with pleasure the return of the crisp air and blue skies of a quieter fall. This year, nature gave us perfect weather and the Shoals Club provided the perfect setting for members to celebrate this annual transition.
