Master Plan Overview

A Clubhouse at the Center of Our Lives

In the past two decades, campus-wide improvements have elevated member experiences, providing increased value in Fitness, the Ladies Locker Room, Golf, Pool, and the Clubhouse with improvements that began in 2011 and will now be completed through this Master Plan. This renovation brings the Clubhouse up to the standards of other campus facilities and allows it to assume a leadership position unique to the Southeast.

The Main Level

The iconic Main Level provides cherished spaces where milestone memories have been made since the Clubhouse was introduced to members in 1951. Member-facing areas will be refurbished, and the Main Level will expand indoors and out to accommodate more celebrations, Club events, and opportunities for everyday pleasures of life at MPCC.

The Lower Level

Every member will find more to love about the inviting Lower Level, with increased room for dining and entertainment experiences for members of all ages along with upgrades to the Gentlemen's Lounge and Locker Room. Improvements will encompass outdoor dining and service features like kitchen functionality to make this a more vibrant and accommodating space for all.

The Event Lawn

Improvements to the rear façade of the Clubhouse will further enhance the perspective from the golf course, increasing symmetry and providing a striking view. The expansive new Event Lawn will connect the three distinct outdoor dining areas through a dedicated green space ideal for member socializing and fun.

THE TAVERN

The four-sided bar, a focal point of this vibrant new casual gathering space, will open to the outdoors, driving a more spacious and inviting Tavern experience, whether as a spot for pre-dinner drinks or a neighborhood destination for cocktails and camaraderie. The artfully configured dining area will feature roomy table accommodations. Combined with tactical soundproofing elements in the ceiling, the spacious layout is conducive to both privacy and conviviality. Depicted here in a representative rendering, the classically elegant, understated décor will embody the ideal intersection between casual and upscale. The Wine Cellar, located adjacent to the Tavern, offers a tasting room for a variety of special occasions.

Floor to ceiling doors and windows open to the new covered Terrace. This roomy outdoor dining area with heating, fans, and weatherproofing elements is certain to become a member favorite.

FAMILY DINING

The vibrant and welcoming expanded Family Dining area will open to a covered Terrace with heating elements, fans, and optional weatherproofing. It is adjacent to an expanded Shark Shack, which will feature a cooking and serving venue dually purposed as a display kitchen to show families the chefs in action.

The addition of a new “Made to Order” salad amenity will add fresh and healthy quick-casual fare and increase the appeal of this area for dropping by to enjoy lunch at the Club.

The Lower Level service improvements address the increased demand for members of all ages to enjoy time at the Club. Service efficiency and production capacity will increase through the introduction of improved kitchen capabilities for meeting demand. Improved access to service stations, corridors, and storage increase efficiency and promote delivery of exceptional personalized service.

Throughout the Lower Level the improved décor will bring a lighter, more vibrant feel. As seen in this representative rendering, a casually inviting design will aesthetically connect Myers Park to its heritage with a modern take on classic club style.

THE EVENT LAWN

Connecting Clubhouse and Golf

The Clubhouse will extend outdoors with highly functional dining and entertainment spaces connected by an impressive Event Lawn. The new outdoor dining features fully realize the original vision of the 2011 Centennial Plan for robust options to provide comfortable, inviting environments for dining al fresco. They are connected by the broad and distinctive Event Lawn that will offer unique views of the golf course and allow increased space for member enjoyment.

Bordered by a low wall designed to complement the rear façade of the Clubhouse, the Event Lawn will have multiple entry points and provide a striking, distinct separation from the golf experience while promoting viewing options as golfers make their turn to the back nine. It will also provide convenient exterior access to the new family dining room and Tavern. The Pool will also be newly connected to the Clubhouse through the expanded Shark Shack offering and kitchen.

The 10th tee will be repositioned to accommodate this improvement without losing yardage or strategic advantage from any tee position, while the putting green is reconfigured to add interest and challenge. This enhancement to the golf experience is being made by golf course architect Richard Mandell, noted for his 2017 improvements to the classic design and playability of our historic golf course. The new outdoor dining options connected by the Event Lawn will beautifully connect the Clubhouse with the rest of Myers Park Country Club's spectacular natural environment.

“Mr. Ross expressed the belief, when he completed the plans, that the Myers Park Club would have one of the prettiest courses in the South.” The Clubber, July 27, 1926
