The Austin, Texas club is building a new two-story, 27,000-sq. ft. clubhouse and a single-story, 4,500-sq. ft. activity center as part of a $12 million renovation. Construction is expected to last 18 to 24 months and the current clubhouse and administration building will remain open during the project.
Great Hills Country Club (GHCC), one of the oldest member-owned and family-oriented clubs in Austin, Texas for golf, tennis, swimming, fitness, dining and social activities, has planned a groundbreaking celebration at 6:00 pm on Friday, August 17th to mark the start of construction on its new clubhouse. C&RB reported on the $12 million project in February (http://clubandresortbusiness.com/2018/02/12m-renovation-begins-great-hills-cc/).
When completed, the club will have a new two-story, 27,000-sq.ft. clubhouse and a single-story 4,500-sq. ft. activity center that will complement its existing 18-hole championship golf course designed by Don January and Billy Martindale, eight tennis courts, and junior Olympic swimming pool. Members of GHCC voted in March 2016 to approve the construction of the new facilities. The club has been owned by its members since 1985.
The new building will replace the original clubhouse and administration building, which was built in the late 1970s. Both of those buildings cover roughly 11,000 sq. ft. The current Great Hills Country Club clubhouse and facilities will remain open throughout construction, which is expected to last 18 to 24 months.
McKinney-York is the architect for the new facility, and the construction project will be managed by general contractor Club Design Associates from Fort Worth, Texas.
“This is a very exciting time for our club members, and also for those who would like to join our club,” said Larry Harper, GHCC’s General Manager. “We have the highest percentage of single digit-handicappers in Austin, one of the best tennis programs in town, and a strong and growing Junior Golf Association and youth swim team. We can hardly wait to move into our new facility and welcome many more generations of members.”
