The Wichita (Kan.) Country Club in has entered its next-to-last phase of renovation, which started with a more than $12 million master plan in 2006.
Since renovation began, 90 people with an average age of about 43 have joined the club.
“While we’re building everything for every demographic, the future of the club is (with) younger families,” says chief executive and golf pro Cary Cozby to The Wichita Eagle.
Renovation at the main club is mostly complete. This phase, for which the club recently took out a $2 million building permit, is to build a new fitness center and Club 4 Kidz.
The center will be 3,700 square feet, not including a couple of massage rooms, new locker rooms and two studios for yoga, Pilates and aerobics.
The children’s area will be upgraded as well and will be open most of the time the club is. Parents can drop off their kids for more structured activities than have been offered in the past.
The final renovation, which will overhaul the pool area, won’t happen until 2010. It originally was scheduled for next year, but Cozby says there were some extra expenses during other phases of renovation “just to make sure the finish level is what we thought it should be.”
