A completely redesigned façade is intended to create a “lakeside lodge” feel, and inside the clubhouse members can now enjoy multiple dining venues, including the Firestone Bar & Grille and a ballroom with a new large gable window and covered porch.
The new clubhouse at Lake Toxaway (N.C.) Country Club is now open, following a $7.1 million renovation. The renovation, originally announced in October 2016 (http://clubandresortbusiness.com/2016/09/lake-toxaway-n-c-cc-plans-5m-clubhouse-renovation/), is the latest development in a line of property updates, including more than $10 million in golf course improvements since 2007.
A completely redesigned clubhouse façade, featuring cedar-shake siding, stone accents and rustic trim details, is intended to create a lakeside lodge feel emblematic of the Lake Toxaway community. In addition, the new porte cochere and expanded main lobby are designed to provide members with a welcoming entrance.
Inside the clubhouse, members can now enjoy multiple dining venues, including the Firestone Bar & Grille featuring an expansive indoor and outdoor bar, casual grille area and a sweeping, covered dining porch with scenic lake and golf course views. The views continue in the club’s ballroom, with a new large gable window and covered porch setting the stage for member dining and private events.
Clubhouse improvements also include fully renovated locker rooms for men and ladies, with brand new lockers and wet areas. The men’s locker room has an adjoining card room and the ladies’ card room also serves as a private dining room in the evening. Both card rooms grant access to an outdoor porch with signature views of Lake Toxaway.
The Golf Pro Shop, originally located within the former clubhouse, is now in a stand-alone building with convenient access to all clubhouse facilities.
Members and their guests can venture beyond the clubhouse for even more elevated mountain experiences. Lake Toxaway, the largest private lake in North Carolina, and the Blue Ridge Mountains provide the backdrop for outdoor activities such as golf, tennis, hiking, skiing, boating, fishing and more.
In addition, Lake Toxaway CC has developed a reputation as one of the country’s leading croquet facilities, featuring a robust year-round program for the club’s members, and playing host to some of the game’s finest international players through such events as the Toxaway Mountain Challenge.
“The renovation project began and ended with one goal in mind: enhancing the Lake Toxaway community and the member and guest experience,” said Reg Heinitsh, owner of Lake Toxaway CC. “The design team helped us accomplish this, and more, through the creation of an attractive and energy-efficient space that suits the needs of both future and current guests.”
