What would you like in a new restaurant ?


As you may know, Thalassa restaurant at QBMGC will be closing in September 2024. This will create an opportunity for new restauranteurs to take over F&B operations at the course, hopefully building on the success of the last 14 years.  As the board undertakes the process to replace the F&B operation in the fall 2024, we would first like to hear from all stakeholders (members and public golfers, community diners, tourists and visitors) their expectations and potential level of support for a new restaurant operation. 

All information collected will be anonymous and reported back only as summary information. Likewise, comments will not be attributed to any individual and only reported back as a summary list. All information will only be used for the purpose intended, which is to inform the board of the stakeholders preferences.

Please answer any or all of the following questions to help us to better plan the future of food & beverage operations at QBMGC.  The survey should take about 10 minutes, perhaps longer depending on your comments. If you wish not to comment or don't wish to respond to certain questions, just leave them blank and skip to the next one.
