Shovel-ready, Berkeley Hall’s Board of Directors gathered with excited members for the official groundbreaking of our new 4-Seasons Veranda on Friday, April 9th. Embarking on Phase I of our $5.1M Master Plan, the reimagined Clubhouse features construction of the 4-Seasons Veranda, a renovated Mixed Grille dining venue and kitchen upgrade, with upscale design that takes full advantage of the panoramic golf course views. Refinements in the Grand Hall entry further add to the graciously welcoming ambiance and reflect our new casual, Lowcountry design. Construction of the nearly 5,000 square foot addition extends off the former Grand Hallway, at an elevated, seamless level to provide year-round dining in a climate-controlled environment. Here, members can gather for casual dining any time of day. Whether enjoying drinks and light bites after finishing a round or a glass of wine and gourmet dining as the sun sets, the versatile design and interior climate controls offer full Veranda use no matter the season, with views onto the North Course #9th and #18th holes. The reimagined Mixed Grille will serve as the more formal dining venue to the Veranda, with a relaxed sophistication and comfort. The well-designed venues flow into one another for an expanded dining capacity, with the flexibility to accommodate larger Club gatherings and special events. With an influx of new members during this past year, Berkeley Hall’s membership is a growing one. One of their shared sentiments was the desire to find a forward-thinking community. Phase I demonstrated that commitment to club investment, and the response was overwhelmingly in favor. “The time is now,” said Keith Patten, Board President. “Board and management are committed to meeting the evolving demands of our membership by investing in our future. Implementation of the Master Plan represents a cornerstone piece of our efforts to enhance the overall member experience.” The exterior is slated for Fall completion with full occupancy and use by Spring/Summer of 2022. The Clubhouse and dining in the formal Mixed Grille, casual Tap Room bar bistro, and private Tuscan Wine Room, will remain open for the majority of the construction period, allowing members to enjoy dining and Club amenities. In tandem with Phase I, the Club’s two Fazio-designed golf courses are also seeing a return to their pristine original vision, with the direction of the Fazio Design group and Berkeley Hall’s Agronomy team. “Phase I is an important aspect of assuring Berkeley Hall Club is in harmony with our membership,” said Adam Kushner, General Manager and COO. “Having just celebrated our 20th anniversary, we are excited by the exceptional vision Peacock + Lewis architects have brought to our Club, joined by Choate’s team, as we usher in a new era at Berkeley Hall.”
