The Blythewood, S.C. club’s new 28,000-sq. ft. building includes a main level with restaurant and bar, double-sided fireplace and banquet room, an upstairs level with boardroom space and bride’s and groom’s wedding suites, and a lower level with golf shop, men’s and women’s locker rooms, lounges and golf cart storage area.

The original, smaller clubhouse was torn down in 2008 and construction of the new structure began, but ownership turnover and economic uncertainty drew progress to a halt.
