The only Pete Dye-designed golf course in the state is planning enhancements to its clubhouse this offseason, including permanent bathrooms, a full-service kitchen with new equipment, and men’s and women’s locker rooms. The project is underway and work is expected to be complete by spring 2014.
Pound Ridge (N.Y.) Golf Club will undergo significant enhancements to its clubhouse this offseason to better serve golfers at the only Pete Dye-designed golf course in New York.
The main building will be expanded to provide permanent bathrooms, a full-service kitchen with new equipment, and men’s and women’s showers and small locker rooms. The breezeway between the building and temporary structure will be enclosed for additional comfort and privacy.
Floor, ceiling, and window frame moulding, and other fixtures, features, and equipment will be added. Guests will have the choice of relaxing in the refreshed interior or outdoors on one of Pound Ridge’s two al fresco seating and gathering areas.
“The end result will be a significantly more appealing and single integrated structure,” said owner Ken Wang. “This is part of our long-term plan to provide facilities and amenities commensurate with the quality of the golf course.”
According to Wang, Pound Ridge’s proximity to Wall Street and the financial community of Stamford, Greenwich and Norwalk area of Southern Connecticut leads to a high number of “business golfers” out for an efficient and enjoyable round.
“Having a comfortable spot to grab a quick shower, change of clothes and bite to eat, perhaps before returning to the office or an evening function, is important,” said Wang. “The layout is also very walkable and those who carry or pull their clubs will appreciate the option of freshening up, post-round.”
The project is underway, and all work is expected to be complete by spring 2014.
