The clubhouse could use an upgrade.
I think it's almost perfect.  What more does a golf club need?  It reminds me of Port Fairy.  Just enough, no more.

Just maybe make things a little nicer and newer. Without changing the footprint, a while back Riverside Municipal in Portland Maine invested in a big new polished concrete bar, new chairs, tables and stools, a new deck, a more robust restaurant, a downstairs conference room, a nicer pro shop, a wee shower in the men's room, etc. Watching the sun go down with some tacos and microbrews on a clean deck with a professional waitress is a nice way to end the match.
 
It looks like Royal Dornoch and Dunbar are going engage in significant work to replace each clubhouse. How do you feel about those projects? I have to think that the Dunbar experience will be improved with a new clubhouse.
 
PS - I have a bug up my ass because my club does not have a clubhouse.

The bar at Goswick's fine (the beer could be better), the food is pretty good and the showers are decent!  An outside seating area would be cool but possibly not used as often as some.

The house could be nicer, but it’s fine. The beer and food is a bit wanting. I am surprised there isn’t outdoor seating on the grassy area in front of the house. Nothing about the current facilities encourage me to linger.
