Natalie was born in a small Central Texas town called Groesbeck, a town with less than 5,000 people. Graduating in 1997 as a proud “Goat” (the team mascot) where she participated in basketball, volleyball and several other extracurricular activities. She moved to Waco and pursued an education at Texas State Technical College in Dental Assisting. Later deciding to continue her education at the University of North Texas studying psychology and counseling, she left her junior year to have her greatest accomplishment, her son Preston.
Returning to Groesbeck, she soon found herself a single mom, working small town jobs to get by, until she was able to move to Cedar Park. Fortunately, she began to work at Balcones Country, first as a beverage cart assistant, then as a bartender and now as your Director of Events. Natalie has a solid knowledge of Balcones, as well as understanding of its members, who she continues to serve in a professional and accommodating manner.

I started my country club career in southern California, working at Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club and Shadowridge Golf Club. I then moved out to Palm Springs working at some of the best restaurants in Coachella Valley, The La Quinta Cliffhouse being the most popular in the valley. I fell in love with Dry Aged beef from working at the two most popular Prime Steakhouses in the desert. Then, I had a go at my own catering business, Tony’s Bistro. It is very seasonal there; very busy in the winter and very slow in the summer when it is 120 degrees outside. Driving from New Orleans back to the desert, I stopped in Austin...and never left.
Living here in the heart of Texas, I recently dove into the world of smoking, from curing & smoking my own bacon, corning & smoking briskets, seasoning & smoking pastrami to smoking Romanesco broccoli for vegetarian dishes. I have assisted in greatly improving the food & beverage experiences at Berry Creek Country Club, Onion Creek Country Club & River Place Country Club. I am looking forward to doing the same thing here.
