Ryan Jennings
Board of Directors
Ryan Jennings
Ryan Jennings is a proud Marine Corps veteran and a dedicated member of the Reedsburg Country Club community. Known for his integrity, leadership, and deep appreciation for the traditions of golf, Ryan brings a strong sense of camaraderie and commitment to everything he does—on and off the course.
A passionate golfer, Ryan is often found out on the fairways, honing his game and building connections with fellow members. His involvement at RCC goes far beyond playing—he’s actively engaged in club activities and is always looking for opportunities to support its growth and long-term success.
Whether volunteering, mentoring new golfers, or advocating for member experience, Ryan’s enthusiasm and dedication make him a valued part of the RCC family.
My husband, Scott and I have been members since 1996 when we moved to Reedsburg. We continue to enjoy the community of RCC not only through golf but also through friendships we have developed.
Our son, Kenton, was part of the first tee program and golfed some in his younger years. At 34, he has recently started golfing again and not only is he enjoying getting back to golf, but we also spend time together as a family, sharing this great game of golf.
We have five grandkids and our oldest grandson, Amir, has gone through First Tee as well and has expressed his continued interest in golfing. Likewise, our youngest four-year-old grandson is being coached by his grandpa on how to swing the golf club. Right now, Bronson is most interested in putting but the rest will come..
Again, thank you for this opportunity to continue to serve on the RCC Board of Directors!”
Robin Brenner
Board of Directors Treasurer and Head of the Finance Committee
Robin Brenner
Robin Brenner has been a proud member of Reedsburg Country Club for the past two years, though her connection to the club spans more than two decades through her husband, a long-time member and avid golfer. Her involvement began thanks to her husband’s uncle, Ken Brenner, whose passion for RCC made the club feel like home from the moment they arrived in Reedsburg.
With a professional background in administrative work, bookkeeping, and small business management, Robin brings years of experience in financial oversight, HR support, and tenant relations from her time managing The Courtyards and working with local businesses like Lorraine’s.
Now retired, Robin enjoys spending more time at RCC and values the sense of community it brings. She is passionate about supporting the club’s continued growth and creating a welcoming, vibrant space for members and their guests.
Though I have only “officially” been a member of the Club for the last two years, I feel as if it’s been a lifetime, as I have enjoyed the benefits of being a member through my husband, who is an avid golfer and has been a member since moving to Reedsburg 20+ years ago.
My husband’s Uncle Ken Brenner was instrumental in getting us involved at the Club, as RCC was his passion. Not knowing many people, he took us to the Club when we moved to Reedsburg, where the community and its members immediately welcomed us.
This is how I want others to feel when they walk through the doors of the RCC.
Most of my background is in administrative work and bookkeeping. In my younger years, I worked for an attorney, drafting and proofing legal documents and dealing with human resource and insurance issues.
We came to Reedsburg to help run The Courtyards, a family business. I was responsible for all financial matters, minor tax filings, rent collection, and all things tenant-related. During this time, I also worked downtown as the bookkeeper for Lorraine’s, which owned four stores at the time. You might say that working with numbers is my passion.
Since retirement, I’ve enjoyed spending more time at the Club. I’ve enjoyed watching the Club grow, going through the renovation of the Clubhouse, and talking to and hearing about what other members think and feel about the club’s changes and growth.
I’d like to be part of the planning process, coming up with ideas to increase membership in our changing world and economy and make The club is a place where our members and their guests truly love to be.
I would appreciate your vote.
Thank you for your consideration.”
