GLENCOE GOLF
The main clubhouse at the Glencoe Golf Club, situated amidst the scenic beauty of its expansive golf course, serves as the central drop-off, administrative hub, and access point to the food and beverage spaces. Originally built in the 1980s, the clubhouse boasts vaulted ceilings with large wood trusses and offers panoramic views of the main course. This renovation project aimed to elevate the clubhouse’s ambiance to match the upscale feel of Glencoe Club’s downtown location (which was also designed by FRANK), creating a cohesive and sophisticated experience for members and guests.
MODERN MEETS TRADITION
Inspired by golf culture and the club’s rich history, the design for the space provide an elevated and cohesive experience that is reflective of the private club’s values. FRANK sought to blend traditional elements with contemporary luxury. This vision was achieved through meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect of the design resonated with the club’s heritage while offering a modern, refined atmosphere.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL
Key design elements that reflect this inspiration include the large custom-designed chandeliers in the entrance and family dining room, which draw attention to the building’s geometry during the day and provide an elegant, warm glow at night. Oversized drapery panels frame the main view of the club, accentuating the height of the space. Additionally, custom-designed plaid carpet throughout the building pays homage to historical golf attire, while the layout of the cozy, custom-designed furniture maximizes visual connections to the course, encouraging guests to linger and enjoy the surroundings.
HIGH-END AMENITIES
The project needed to be completed in phases and open in time for the golf season to ensure minimal disruption to club operations. The finished space offers superior amenities for members and guests, making the Golf Club’s amenities a perfect complement to the offerings on the incredible 45-hole golf course.
