Facility Master Plan

MASTER PLAN

DEAR

FELLOW MEMBERS,

After two years of work by our Members, the Board, professional staff and consultants, the Board is proud to present our Facility Master Plan for Member approval.

As I’m sure you remember, in 2018 Diablo Country Club (DCC) members approved a $31 million Golf Course ($12M) and Facilities Master Plan ($19M). These two strategic projects ensured that DCC’s most important assets were both revitalized, providing for future member enjoyment and expanded to meet our members prioritized needs. In addition, since our initial vote, virtually all the other clubs in our area have invested in their facilities, so our projects are key to DCC maintaining its competitive stature as the top club in the East Bay area.

In 2020, the golf course renovation was completed and final architectural plans for a Wellness Center and some clubhouse improvements were developed. After receiving final pricing for the project, the original Facilities Master Plan from 2018 greatly exceeded the approved budget and it was determined the new facility would also dramatically increase the annual operating expenses of the Club. Working with the architect and the Construction Committee, the

Board of Directors determined that effectively utilizing existing space in the main clubhouse and tennis/childcare facilities would be the most cost-effective way to deliver the priorities the Members approved and adhere to the Master Plan for the Club. The priorities that members approved include:

• High-end Fitness facility and workout room

• Improved Member dining experience, including better, more varied menus, and improved/expanded Red Horse-like seating and dining

• Red Horse Tavern, Stone Room, Monte Vista, and Diablo Room renovations

•

• Expanded/modernized kitchen

• Expanded and better served Bocce facility

• Improved and better served Tennis experience

Upgraded Pool Locker Rooms

In addition, the new FMP additional amenities that have emerged as highly important to members, including an upgraded woman’s locker room, an expanded tennis pavilion, new pickleball courts, an investment in our employees’ facilities and a new Diablo Pub.

The content in this packet represents the work by our members, professional staff, and consultants. It also reflects the valuable input we received from the members through several Town Hall meetings, forums, and one on one communication. The Board of Directors fully supports the Facility Master Plan as presented and encourages the membership to approve to proceed with the project.

Thank you,

Jeff Miller, Club President Jeff Miller

Diablo Country Club: Clubhouse Upper Level

MAIN LEVEL

MAIN LEVEL CONT.

RED HORSE TAVERN AND STONE ROOM

The Red Horse Tavern which is the main social hub for the clubhouse will be redesigned to better integrate the seating in the Stone Room, so it feels like one space rather than two separate and distinct rooms. The beautiful, beamed ceiling in the Red Horse Tavern will remain with the Stone Room ceiling being improved so they compliment each other. The carpet, wall treatment and furniture will be replaced. The room layout will be changed to provide for better flow from the kitchen to the dining area. A chef’s table that will seat up to 14 will be added to an alcove as well as the side of the Stone Room being designed to stage a portable sushi or raw bar. The iconic bar in the Red Horse Tavern will remain at the present location with the addition of a new backdrop and bar front facade.

DIABLO PUB

Intended to be used by only adults for meal and beverage service, this room is expected by many to become one of the most popular spots at the Club. Currently the Diablo Room, the wall to the north will be pushed out and some of the Monte Vista Room will be used to expand the footprint. An elongated bar will be added with several stools. The seating capacity will be for approximately 46 with individual tables and two banquettes. The finishes and décor will pay homage to golf and the history of Diablo.

FOYER AND CARRIAGE LOUNGE

The finishes on the floors and walls will be updated as well as new lighting, drapes and furniture. The Carriage Lounge will be used for member dropin casual use during the morning and afternoon hours and available during the evenings as a pre-function space. This will be a great spot for a coffee or beverage and light food while checking emails or visiting with friends. The Carriage Lounge will also become the main access to the Red Horse Tavern. To meet ADA requirements, an elevator will be added to the north side of the front entry door to access each level of the clubhouse.

KITCHEN

The entire layout of the kitchen will be changed to improve efficiency and staff productivity. The footprint will be expanded by using the space that is currently occupied by the swimming pool snack shack. The existing equipment will be replaced with state-of-the-art equipment that will positively impact food preparation, quality, and capacity.

CURTOLA ROOM AND BALLROOM

Both of these rooms will be updated significantly to include new carpet, wall treatment and light fixtures. The veranda on the south side of the Curtola Room will be expanded and accessible to both the Curtola Room and Ballroom.

The current retractable walls will be replaced with a system that is more attractive with extra soundproofing in the permanent wall between the Ballroom and the Fitness Center.

Both of the rooms can be used together to accommodate a seated event with up to 260 guests or separately with the Curtola Room seating up to 60 guests and the Ballroom seating up to 190.

On the west side of the room will be a group exercise studio with doors that will open to access an outdoor exercise space that will overlook the swimming pool. A non-gender specific restroom will be added as well as day lockers.

WOMEN’S LOCKER ROOM GOLF SHOP

The improvement priorities that were identified by the Women’s Locker Room Committee have been reflected in the plans. The Lounge will be expanded by integrating the two existing rooms to provide one larger space which will be more functional for pre-golf gatherings as well as socializing. A new entry from the Lounge area to the Locker Room has been designed that will provide better flow and privacy. A small steam room will be added to a space adjacent to the showers. All of the interior finishes will be upgraded including the lockers and showers.

In addition to minor interior upgrades, the service counter will be relocated to the west side of the room to allow for the addition of a hallway that will provide access to and from the Women’s Locker Room without having to enter through the Golf Shop. The Golf Shop offices and storage will be relocated behind the new service counter. The doors that are next to the Golf Shop entry will become the main entry for members using the Fitness Center. There will be a new vestibule that will access the new elevator as well as the hallway that passes the Men’s Locker Room to the stairwell that will access the Fitness Center.

EMPLOYEE BREAKROOM AND LOCKER ROOMS

The existing staff breakroom does not have enough space to accommodate all of our staff members. The current Fitness Center will be converted to a new staff breakroom with expanded seating. Men’s and women’s locker rooms and restrooms will be added as well as a Human Resource Office. The back of the house storage areas will remain in the current location, but repositioned.

INDOOR HITTING SIMULATOR

On the north end of the building below the Red Horse Tavern (currently used for storage) will be the location for the new indoor hitting simulator.
