Title: Clubhouse Pictures
Post by: Steve Curry on February 25, 2004, 09:18:58 AM: I know this is off the GCA subject, but I am in the process of doing a design for our new building and would appreciate any pictures you may have.

Thanks,
Steve

I've sent you some by E-mail. I'm afraid some of them are rather big files - stupidly, I didn't check before sending. Have patience!

I think this is a great thread.....tell us about the course and what your club is trying to get done with the project...goals and budget would be fun....Is that pimple on top of the current building called a cupola...does it fit into any aiming scemes on the course.....You just can't poo poo a place that sucks so much money out of a course and can result in at least 25% of your time spent...this is a GCA subject and should be explored.

Post by: Andy Hughes on February 25, 2004, 04:51:46 PM: Mr Kanglone, I must say it's a bit presumptious to sneak up alongside the lake in front of my home, snap a quick picture and assume you have the right to post it online like this.

Everything to the left-side was a recent expansion. The big viewing window (men's smoking room) and clock are necessary features. I'm not a huge fan of the revolving door entrance they now have.

Post by: john_stiles on February 25, 2004, 05:33:09 PM: I saw the old photos of Newport & Winged Foot. Nice.

If you want to look at some old plans and old photographs of classic clubhouses, see if you can find a copy of the Clifford Wendehack's classic book 'Golf and Country Clubs' (1929 w/ limited printing / about 1000 copies). It might be available at large city or univ libraries.

The book has about 50 pages of discussion of clubhouse needs circa 1929 and about 100 pages of plans and photos. Features clubhouses at Everglades, Fishers Island, Winged Foot, Ridgewood, Lakeside, Morris County, Gulf Stream, Detroit Golf Club, Franklin Hills, Pepper Pike, Grosse Point CC, Quaker Ridge, etc.

It is large format, coffee table book, black & white photos of course.

If this site was Golf Clubhouse Architecture Atlas, GCAA, Wendehack's book would be the 'daddy' book.

Wendehack designed many clubhouses in northeast including Ridgewood, Winged Foot, etc.

Post by: SPDB on February 25, 2004, 06:26:12 PM: Red Stick clubhouse was a mistake, IMO.
They had a chance to do something very
understated, and they produced that. :P

You've got a big job on your hands
to come up with a building that
sits well on the bluff, looks
out towards the hills and over the
course. Good luck

Post by: RJ_Daley on February 26, 2004, 01:01:06 AM: Steve, I don't get it. Is this a joke? Your course just built the new clubhouse. What are you supposed to come up with?

Do you mean you are supposed to design a new maintenance facility to be complimentary to the clubhouse design?

in your pictures, gentlemen? Thank you ever so kindly.

Don't you know how to 'cheat' and look at the URLs of the pics to find these things out on your own? 8)

Mine were: Baltusrol, Riviera, Olympia Fields, and Medinah.

Yours were the ones I recognized!

I've stopped doing that "Properties" deal here lately, because
every time I do it, I get a "mysticsomethingorother" URL, which
doesn't help.

I see now that it would have worked with three I didn't know:
Merion, Hoylake and Formby.

Post by: RJ_Daley on February 26, 2004, 12:05:09 PM: Steve, they didn't seem to leave any space for landscaping at all, other than the turn around circle. What the heck to they expect you to do with hiding the air conditioning unit and side service door? I don't know what is under that deck, but it doesn't look like there is room there either. Somehow I think you may be relegated to potted plants. At least you can move them around and arrange them in various order as one sees fit. Don't they have a committee for that? The potted plant committee... ::)

Well, they were supposed to -- but they misunderstood their mission. They thought they were the "Planted Pot Committee" -- so they did, and now they're in a perpetual haze, less than worthless.

Could explain that air conditioner, eh?

Title: Re:Clubhouse Pictures
Post by: Steve Curry on February 27, 2004, 06:46:48 AM: Yes to lots of planters! It is my intent to plant the circle in the turn with an elm tree, grass and clusters of day lilies and hostas. There is a fair amount of space to plant in front of the chiller and the transformer on either side of the entrance. The reason that these disfigurements are at the West side is for the fact that we have a significant slope on the North and South sides and the South and East have fantastic decks overlooking our vistas.

I will get more pictures soon.
