Bonnie Miller
Clubhouse Manager & Director of Events
After graduating from Dutchess BOCES CTI in horticulture and greenhouse management, I realized that my passion was in culinary arts. With over thirty years of experience in the food service industry, I started out working at Troutbeck Inn and conference center nestled in the Berkshire Mountains while attending Dutchess Community college. Where I met my husband and then relocated to Boca Raton, Florida. I then worked at Boca Grove Golf & Tennis club as the Food & Beverage Director/ Social Director till moving to North Carolina to be closer to family. I started working at Raleigh Country club in June 2006 and am a member of Greater Triangle chapter of ISES. I enjoy being part of McConnell Golf Properties and watching it grow.
