Replacing the temporary clubhouse building it has been using since 2007, the Hayward, Calif., club is constructing a 32,000-sq. ft. facility that is scheduled to open July 2014. The new structure will provide panoramic views of the Bay Area from two levels, a concierge service, casual and formal dining options, full fitness facility and more.

Stonebrae Country Club in Hayward, Calif., recently announced the start of construction on its permanent clubhouse, an approximately $15 million project. The 32,000-sq. ft. facility will serve as a focal point for residents and members, offering fine dining, event space, recreational accommodations, a pro shop and more, with an anticipated grand opening set for July 2014.

“Stonebrae is one of the nation’s premier luxury golf course communities, and we’re taking every step to ensure the new clubhouse reflects that,” said Eric Jacobsen, General Manager at TPC Stonebrae. “We want members to experience living like they never have before. The natural landscaping, championship course, luxury amenities, dedicated staff and valued members have all played a part in shaping this unique lifestyle, and the addition of the new clubhouse will only serve to elevate Stonebrae to the next level.”

Replacing the temporary clubhouse building that has served Stonebrae since 2007, the new structure will provide panoramic views of the Bay Area from two levels, with the lobby and main social venues on the second floor. From the entrance, guests will be formally greeted by a concierge service at reception.

Features and amenities include tennis courts; a full fitness facility; yoga and fitness room; pool for lap swimming, water aerobics and swim lessons; kids’ pool; outdoor spa; grill and patio area; and bocce courts. Golfers benefit from a fully stocked men’s and women’s pro shop supplying clothing and hard goods as well as offering custom orders and custom fitting. Furthermore, a boardroom, banquet room with 200-person capacity, and event lawn will accommodate private functions, social gatherings and special occasions such as weddings and corporate events.

In addition, the facility will house casual and formal daily dining options, including an all-new members grill, full bar and terrace with a three-bridge view of San Francisco Bay. Acclaimed chef Aaron Johnson, President of the Chefs Association of the Pacific Coast, will continue to bring his signature style of gourmet fine dining to Stonebrae with a wide spectrum of ethnically diverse five-star cuisine.

As designed by San Francisco-based firm Hornberger + Worstell, the clubhouse will feature craftsman-style architectural details that accent the natural topography.

“Hornberger + Worstell perfectly captured what we were looking for in a clubhouse. They took into consideration the feel, texture, climate and environment of the surroundings to create a facility that blends well into nature, matches existing community infrastructure and embodies the overall vision of the project. Their experience and industry expertise will bring a whole new layer to the Stonebrae community,” said Jacobsen.

The groundbreaking ceremony, which was recently held to honor the start of clubhouse construction, was attended by 350 guests. The next ceremony is expected to be the ribbon cutting.
