The once-public Lincoln, Neb. club is introducing a five-area aquatics complex, which includes a splash pad, junior Olympics swimming and diving pool, an adult-only swim up bar, and a lazy river. General Manager Chip Cary says they looked at the market and did some national studies. “Everything pointed to ‘we should be a private club.’”
Wilderness Ridge in Lincoln, Neb., a once-public golf club, has become a private country club, and renovations are ongoing, 1011 News reported. General Manager Chip Cary said the area needs the expansion.
“We looked at the market and looked at what we had to offer, and the bones of what was there with Wilderness Ridge,” Cary said. “[We] did some national studies. Everything pointed to ‘we should be a private club.’”
C+RB reported on Wilderness Ridge’s plans to go to a membership-only model in 2019.
The expansion includes family-friendly amenities, which begins with a five-area aquatics complex, 1011 News reported. The complex will include a splash pad, junior Olympics swimming and diving pool, an adult-only swim up bar, and a lazy river.
Pickleball and tennis courts will also be constructed this spring, along with a new fitness center, 1011 News reported. A gastropub bar and grill will be added to the lower level, which will partner with upscale dining on the upper level of the lodge.
All these amenities will be in addition to the award-winning golf course already at Wilderness Ridge, 1011 News reported.
Cary told 1011 News the pools, plus the bar and grill, are anticipated to be ready to go by Memorial Day at the end of May.
So far, Cary said the community response has been positive, with many liking the expanded options that are being constructed, 1011 News reported.
