The club renovated each major room, including a fully renovated kitchen and wedding suite, and made changes to the pool and utility areas. “One of our other features is that we have a chef’s table in the kitchen,” owner Steven Craig says. “So, when you have that special occasion for a small group, say 12 or under, they can eat in the kitchen and [the chefs] can bring you food in a very interesting and fun way.”
The St. Joseph (Mo.) Country Club has completed renovations across its facilities totaling approximately $5 million, News-Press NOW reported. With expanses to each major room, including a fully renovated kitchen and wedding suite, and changes to the pool and utility areas, owner Steven Craig stated that he believes local residents are looking at a greater value than they’ve seen before.
“This is the project we started with, which was enlarging the ballroom, enhancing it, raising up and refinishing the ceiling,” Craig said. “[We got] a lot of new materials, new light fixtures. [We] raised the height of the stage, and … we have the only full-motion video screen.”
Craig also stated that the new kitchen suite was constructed as one of seven in 2021, with four going to world-renowned chef Gordon Ramsey, News-Press NOW reported.
“One of our other features is that we have a chef’s table in the kitchen,” he said. “So, when you have that special occasion for a small group, say 12 or under, they can eat in the kitchen and [the chefs] can bring you food in a very interesting and fun way. We’ve got a lot of interesting dishes, and we’ve already done a number of seven-course-meals here.”
Every feature is now fully operational, and management of the St. Joseph Country Club plans to continue improving its value into the future, News-Press NOW reported.
“Realize, it doesn’t take a whole lot more to make things great,” Craig said. “I mean, you can do an average job and put in 80% or 90% of the effort, or you can do an exceptional job, put in a little bit more effort, and it really makes a difference. People really respond to it, respect it and I think, overall, really appreciate it.”
The changes to St. Joseph Country Club’s buildings come alongside the construction of a new $1.1 million roadway, which opened for use on July 1, News-Press NOW reported.
