Lake
Placid, NY – May 2025 / NewsmakerAlert: When the Whiteface
Club and Resort in Lake Placid opens for the season on May 9, it will
do so with new leadership. Incoming CEO
Tracey Brooks has come on board to replace retiring CEO Mark Sperling.
The
former head of the luxury property served in that capacity for over two
decades. Sperling’s final day was April 30. The secession plan saw the
two working together for over a year prior to Brooks assuming the helm
on May 1.
“We
are blessed to have a beautiful property and I’m looking forward to sharing
it with our homeowners, club members, folks from the region, and new and
returning visitors,” said Brooks. “Our staff has been working diligently
this spring to prepare all of our amenities. We’re ready for the unveiling
on May 9.”
“Mark
was with us from the beginning when we took over the property in 2005,”
said managing partner Ed
Weibrecht, also the owner of the AAA Four Diamond Mirror
Lake Inn Resort and Spa. Whiteface Club and Mirror Lake Inn are sister
properties, combining to offer players an upscale stay
and play opportunity.
“In
that time, Mark took on a massive project that involved the entire property.
Between golf, real estate, tennis, dining, weddings, and the lakefront
assets, he developed the Whiteface Club into a premier Adirondack luxury
resort. We are forever indebted to Mark for his commitment and achievements,
and wish him and wife Pam a restful retirement. Now, we’re anticipating
a continuation of that success with Tracey and will give her all the support
she needs to add to the Whiteface Club’s reputation.”
Thanks
to the work that was done in the fall, the Whiteface
Club and Resort Golf Course has emerged from the snow and ice of winter
in extraordinary condition and will welcome players for the 2025 season
starting May 9.
PGA
Club Professional Perry
Babcock will officially kick off the season at 10 AM with the ceremonial
opening shot from the first tee. He will be joined by Brooks and Golf Course
Superintendent Mike Sabbatini.
Meanwhile,
when golfers return to this spectacular property, they will now have use
of Chrono-Golf
by Lightspeed. This will enable users to make tee-times, tennis court
and dinner reservations – anytime day or night - as well as view their
accounts from the ease of a smart phone or computer.
Tee
times can still be made by calling the pro shop at 518-523-PUTT during
normal hours. Players may walk or ride anytime.
In
addition to golf, activity on the club’s Har-Tru tennis courts is set to
begin over Memorial Day weekend.
Both
the Moose
Lodge Boathouse and Café
on the Green restaurants will begin servicing diners on May 9. Café
on the Green behind the first tee is under the leadership of Head Cook
Chuck Sulick. Also, the Moose Lodge Boathouse along the shore of Lake Placid
lake, will find a culinary team headed by Alex Hudson, Chef de Cuisine.
Both offer indoor and outdoor settings. Moose Lodge is ready to debut its
reimagined bar configuration that will enhance the overall experience.
