The project is the first major upgrade of the Clubhouse facility in more than a decade. “When we constructed our state-of-the-art sports complex it was the first of its kind and this new renovation will also set a new standard for club houses and keep us ahead of the curve,” said BallenIsles Board of Directors President, Jack Cook.
The 72,000 square-foot Clubhouse will be expanded by more than 30,000 square-feet to feature a grand redesigned 19th Hole on the Clubhouse Terrace offering breathtaking views of the East Golf Course, where Nicklaus and many other many golf legends originally qualified for the PGA Tour.
From the Club’s iconic Harry’s Bar to a larger Main Dining Room, to a dedicated Fine Dining Room, and expansive kitchens, the architectural redesign and renovation will also add to members’ enjoyment of a wide variety of dining and social experiences. The expansive clubhouse renovation will also include a new lobby lounge with vaulted ceilings.
The entire project will be financed without an assessment to the membership and is expected to be completed in 14 months.
BallenIsles boasts 3 championship courses with 54 holes of golf, and a world class 22-court tennis complex, complete with an exhibition tennis court and stadium seating. BallenIsles has also heralded a new standard of wellness and fitness with its $26 million state-of-the-art Sports Complex that is testimony to the Club’s extraordinary commitment to a healthy member lifestyle.
