Tim,


I'd tend to agree here, the setup at Friars Head certainly looks pretty sweet.

That little gazebo on the left is a great spot, right on the water. I had dinner there and didn't want to leave.

That looks imposing rather than inviting to me -- maybe that's by design

Yes, it bit like a mausoleum. :)

Landscapes Unlimited -- Lost Rail Golf Club (Gretna, Neb.) Clubhouse Image No. 3.jpeg


Quote
From afar, the 10,517 square-foot clubhouse resembles a 1920s home with chimneys, gables and dormers adorned in lime-washed brick.  Featuring 20-mile panoramas, it sits high on a bluff overlooking the Elkhorn and Platte rivers, gleaming during the day and striking in presence at night.

[/size]The first two words in that quote- “From afar,” is the key to this clubhouse. Its design is a bit of optical illusion as from afar, it resembles a 1920’s house. This is very cool and very much unlike the silhouette of a 1920’s clubhouse, which from afar would still look like a 1920’s clubhouse. [/color]

[/size]What from afar looks like a house with 2 gables and a wrap around porch up, close looks like a clubhouse with two airy glass bays framing the entrance, and a large wrap around terrace.[/color]

[/size]I imagine given the location has some prominence that it leaves many people as they drive past scratching their heads over what’s not quite right about the house on the bluff.[/color]

The trouble with modern equipment and distance—and I don't see anyone pointing this out—is that it robs from the player's experience. - Mickey Wright
