Chevis, this year’s Outstanding Recreational Employee of the Year, consistently does business with handshakes and hugs. He is a cornerstone of operations, a friend to guests, and a true ambassador for the resort’s brand. Our veteran worker has an extraordinary talent to transform every guest interaction into personalized experiences and positive memories visitors hold onto long after they leave the resort.

Additionally, colleagues praise Chevis for being essential to daily operations and playing a vital role in managing two active golf courses, overseeing 75 sets of rental clubs, maintaining a fleet of 155 golf carts, helping with inventory, and doing whatever else team members need to keep operations running smoothly.

The proof of Chevis’ amazing impact on resort guests is highlighted when they return, year after year, and ask specifically for him by name. Each golfer is greeted with warmth, learning their preferences, and remembering their stories. This stand-out team player has maintained relationships with some guests for decades!

Chevis has a relentless work ethic and warm personality and has offered stellar service to the guests throughout his 24 years as a golf operations attendant. He has been recognized more than 12 times as Employee of the Quarter, and he won Employee of the Year twice under the previous management. We celebrate Chevis’ remarkable ability to make guests want to visit his resort and Central Florida time and time again.
