BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- After a
record-breaking year of estate home sales at St. Andrews Country
Club (at an average sales price of $2.8
million) and thus a significant growth in new memberships,
the "Elite Distinguished Club of the World" and a "Platinum Club of
America" is embarking on a $27.5
million enhancement plan to commence in April 2022. Plans include a reimagined clubhouse
lobby and ladies' card room; a complete redesign of its Fazio II
golf course; a total reorientation, expansion and reconstruction of
its Lakeside Restaurant and its Aquatic Center's poolside Café Blue
and enrichments to its fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts
and children's playground.
According to St. Andrews Country Club COO/General Manager Club
Rick Dente, the Club tapped the expertise of world-class architects
and design firms with impeccable reputations and extensive
experience with top tier clubs for Phase 1: Architecture Firm:
Peacock + Lewis, Interior Design Firm: Pembroke & Ives and Golf
Course Architect: Kipp Schulties.
The enhancement plan completion is anticipated for late Fall
2023.
"As an award-winning premier private country club community that
sets excellence as its success barometer, St. Andrews continues to
envision and innovate to embrace the evolving lifestyle and club
trends and exceed member expectations," added St. Andrews Country
Club Board of Governors President Artie
Grossbard.
Enhancement Begins with a New Warm Clubhouse Welcome
Contemporary furnishings will be custom designed to suit the new
Club aesthetic and fit the space; soft natural materials will add
warmth.
Detailed ceiling coffers will be illuminated with soft-indirect
lighting to create the illusion of the ceiling floating above.
Downlights will be arranged to create pools of light that highlight
the furnishings. Accent lighting will showcase the architecture and
enhance the decor. New impact-resistant windows throughout the
facility will also improve the Clubhouse structure to protect
against hurricanes, reduce exterior noise and reduce heat.
In addition to the lobby enhancement, Dente reports that the new
and renewed facilities and amenities will also include:
- An All-New Lakeside Dining Venue: Exuding a modern feel with
floor-to-ceiling windows and relaxed atmosphere, this venue will be
completely reorganized and reconstructed. Designed as a place where
members can wind down from a day of high-energy activities while
enjoying a spirited sports bar setting, the Lakeside Restaurant
will expand into a spacious new 11,000-square-foot restaurant –
offering additional indoor, bar and outdoor seating. The redesign
offers an abundance of natural light and open views with Nano
folding glass doors that fully retract for a seamless continuity
for an iconic indoor/outdoor open-air experience. The dining area,
lined with the warmth of natural materials, will feature sweeping
panoramic open views of the lake and golf vistas.
- Redesign of its Fazio II Golf Course: Transformed with new
innovative concepts, the total reorientation and reconstruction of
this championship course will improve playability as well as the
aesthetics. With additional lush landscaping and the planting of
"Celebration" grasses for best
feel and playability, all 18 holes will be redesigned with the most
dramatic changes showcased on holes #2, #10 and #13.
- A New Pavilion-style Café Blue: Enhancements include a new
open-air Café Blue that will sport a modern structured pool
pavilion for poolside dining underneath a modulating louvered
pergola cooled by ceiling fans and unobstructed views of the lakes
and fairways. A new convenient poolside walk-up window will provide
members and guests the ability to enjoy freshly grilled sandwiches,
kid-friendly fare, and creative tropical libations poolside.
- "Best Use" Reorganization and Refresh of its free-standing
Fitness Center: With wellness a member priority, the fitness center
at SACC continually evolves to address the growing demand and
changing fitness trends. To maximize the best use of its
20,000-square-foot, two-story freestanding facility, it will be
relocating several components and its functional training area will
be expanded to accommodate additional personalized physical
training options. New training equipment designed to challenge and
develop different muscle groups for better overall physical
performance will be added to its roster of fitness: stretching
zone, aerobics room, mind-body practices, spinning, Pilates
studios, steam rooms, saunas and relaxation room. In addition to
new flooring, enhanced lighting and ceiling fans, both men's and
ladies' restrooms will be refreshed to tie into the new décor.
- New upgrades to its Tennis Center facilities: To support this
active complex hub for tennis and pickleball, six of its 14 clay
tennis courts, including its lighted stadium court, will be
upgraded to Fast-Dry Hydrocourt surfaces and will complete the
renovation of all 14 courts with the latest, most advanced and
playable surfaces available. Due to the growing membership interest
for pickleball play, two more new courts will be added and the
shaded cabana will be expanded for more social interaction.
- Redesign of the Ladies' Card Room: Since ultimately a game room
is where playful competition goes hand-in-hand with building member
camaraderie, the new elegantly appointed decor will set the ideal
backdrop for the 3,417-square-foot space. Symmetrical ceiling light
coves will provide a bright and airy ambiance and reinforce the
symmetry of a feature wall that is the centerpiece for elegant
presentations of food and beverage. The new wall and floor
treatments will create a comfortable, yet luxurious feel, while
enhancing the room's acoustic characteristics.
- Expansion of its Children's Playground: To accommodate a
growing family membership, the Club's 5,700-square-foot Children's
Playground will be expanded to add a tot-lot, new cushioned
flooring surface and fencing plus additional shade structures to
its current play equipment, tube slide, spiral slide, deluxe grip
climber, gyro capsule spinner, angled lunar climber and centipede
climber.
