THE ORCHID ISLAND GOLF & BEACH CLUB CELEBRATES ITS 25TH ANNIVERSARY

A WISH LIST WITH AN “UPSCALE CASUAL” THEME COMES TRUE THE ORCHID ISLAND GOLF & BEACH CLUB CELEBRATES ITS 25TH ANNIVERSARY WITH A RENOVATION OF THE GOLF CLUBHOUSE. WRITTEN BY MARY BETH VALLAR PHOTOGRAPHY BY GRIDLEY + GRAVES

T

he Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club hits a quarter century milestone this year. In the run-up to the 25th anniversary, the club completed the latest in its ongoing efforts to upgrade, improve and enhance its facilities – the renovation of the golf clubhouse.

The dedicated committee in charge of the project realized that they had more than achieved their objectives when they heard the “Wows” and similar exclamations uttered at the club’s grand opening last November. And it’s easy to see why.

From the textured bluestone walkway leading to the arched mahogany and glass front entrance – through the lobby with its rich, diamond-patterned wood floor and the hint of vibrant colors that begin to set the rhythm for the revamped dining space – into the dining area that is both open yet compartmentalized and intimate in design – and finally through to the expanded veranda overlooking the sparkling lake that is home to migrating birds by day and lit by the moon by night, the clubhouse reached all the desired benchmarks for style, functionality, flexibility and comfort.

It took over two years to plan and the summer of 2014 to execute. At every step in the refurbishing process, the committee provided the Orchid membership with regular updates. “It was extremely important that our members knew what we were doing and why,” Committee Chairman John Crosby says. “We wanted complete transparency and

constantly sought feedback. We provided renderings prior to construction, and every three to four weeks during the summer we sent out photos of the progress.” He quips, “We said if a member comes back and is surprised, then we’ve failed.” Obviously they did not.

The committee members who pulled the project together under Crosby’s leadership included Orchid members Stephanie Hahn, Marilyn Palmer, Jim Herbison and Donna Thrailkill; General Manager Rob Tench and Food and Beverage Manager Pam Sanchez along with members of the design and construction teams.

The project had its roots in the club’s long-range plan.

The maxim of the board of governors and management is to maintain the finest, most up-to-date facilities for the benefit of current and future members, Crosby says. With this in mind, the committee looked both inward and outward to determine member preferences and current and trending themes among clubs throughout the nation.

Early in 2013, the board of governors hired The McMahon Group of St. Louis. “In working with this group, who are well-known club planners and consultants, we asked what is contemporary and what are other clubs doing?”

Crosby says. “Then with their help, we conducted focus groups to determine what our members wanted. Over 100 people participated in these groups and others completed written surveys. From this we were able to come up with a ‘wish list.’”

n the late 1880s, members of the Michaels family from West Virginia settled the 600 acres that now encompass Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club. They were the first to grow and export the famed Indian River grapefruit. By 1965 the handful of people who lived on the strip of fertile land bordered by the ocean and State Road 510 incorporated the Town of Orchid.

In 1986, the residents sold the town to the Deerfield Groves Corporation, which in turn sold the entire property to Robert Haines III, a developer from Avon, Connecticut.

He transformed the Town of Orchid into an ocean-to-river residential community called Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club, built the Arnold Palmer Golf Course, the three-story West Indies-style Beach Club and four tennis courts. By 1990 he sold 10 home sites.

When the recession hit the nation and Florida’s real estate market plummeted, construction at Orchid and the rest of Indian River County stopped. But in 1994, Galen Weston of Canada, who developed Windsor just north of Orchid, bought the property. Immediately Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club began a climb that has yet to end.

In 2007, Torwest, Inc. turned control of the property owners association to the equity members of the Orchid

Island Golf &Beach Club. The Town of Orchid is the only municipality in Florida that is also a property owners association and a private equity club.

Today the close-knit community with 376 West Indies style homes also includes 66 low-rise oceanfront condominiums; the Arnold Palmer Championship Golf Course; an elegant Beach Club; 11,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art fitness center; eight impeccably maintained Har-Tru clay courts; and, of course, the newly renovated golf clubhouse.

The Club will celebrate its 25th anniversary the week of March 9 starting with a reception in the Orchid Lobby of Riverside Theatre, so named because of the generosity of the residents who contributed $1 million to the theatre’s capital campaign fund.

Other events will include golf and tennis tournaments, a formal dinner dance and a casual Beatles-themed party, which will take place under a tent on the golf course.

So what’s on the horizon for the next five or 10 or maybe even 25 years? Well actually, plenty!

Ted Hutton, immediate past president of the club, puts it this way, “Show me a club that is not improving its facilities and its amenities every year, and I’ll show you a club that is in decline.” He continues, “It is critical that a club constantly upgrades, improves, refurnishes and assesses

An extended, covered patio allows for al fresco dining.

what it offers its current and future members. We have a master facilities plan where we look out over a period of at least five to 10 years and determine the priorities – all with input from the members.”

T

his summer the golf course fairways are scheduled to be re-grassed and the bunkers refurbished. “We will seed the fairways with a new variety of Bermuda grass called ‘Celebration’ that many of the top clubs on the Treasure Coast use,” Hutton says. The drought-resistant Celebration requires less water and fertilizer to produce superior golf course turf. This is just one of the steps the club will be taking to host the U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur Championship September 29 to October 4 of 2018.

However, the planned renovation of the Beach Club is the most significant upgrade that the members can expect next. Proposals include adding a multi-purpose room, expanding the seaside lounge and adding a pool bar. Meetings with members to review plans are occurring now, Hutton says. “And next fall we will be able to lay out the costs and explain how we will finance the project. Work will be done in the summer of 2016 and 2017.”

Crosby explains why the club has near-universal acceptance of its improvements. “We pride ourselves on being a member-driven community with a high degree of intimacy. There has been very little dissent or dissatisfaction with any of our projects because we share the attitude that we want to be first class. We want to be ahead of the curve. The combination of the leadership’s willingness to follow this mantra and the members’ support of it is the essence of our club.” ` ARCHITECTURE Peacock + Lewis Architects and Planners Brian Idle, President Bob Acree, Project Manager CONSTRUCTION Proctor Construction Company Mike Sturgis, Project Manager Gary Kaczenski, Project Superintendent INTERIOR DESIGN Spectrum Interior Design Susan Smith, President Shelly Craft, Project Manager Ellen DeMarrero

A NEW CHEF BRINGS A NEW APPROACH TO DINING AT ORCHID ISLAND GOLF & BEACH CLUB.

BUY FRESH, BUY LOCAL, SUPPORT SUSTAINABILITY

he terms "hand-crafted,” “freshly-harvested,” “farm to table,” “grass-fed” and “artisanal” are all buzz words rapidly becoming an ever-louder drum beat over the last few years. So it’s no surprise that many chefs have turned their focus to searching for fresh, local foods to serve in their restaurants.

Chris Sozio, the newly hired executive chef at Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club is no different. He and his team wholly subscribe to the philosophy: Buy fresh, buy local and support sustainability.

Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club – a private, gated community offering luxury properties, breathtaking vistas and an Arnold Palmer Championship golf course – is nestled between the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean in the town of Orchid, located just eight miles north of Vero Beach.

Ranking in the top 20 in the Nation by Prevo Health Solutions for being one of America’s healthiest clubs for employees and members alike, the club is dedicated to continually upgrading its facilities and amenities to give members a private-island lifestyle that encourages both health and wellness.

Never more so than in the restaurants over which Chef Sozio presides.

Whether dining at the elegant Beach Club, enjoying more casual fare at the Pool Grille or relaxing after a game of golf in the newly-renovated Golf Club overlooking the fairways, all the restaurants are dedicated to serving dishes prepared from the healthiest ingredients, sourced and freshly harvested from local farms.

“We’re constantly reinvesting both in the club and the staff to bring it to new levels,” explains Robert Tench, the Club’s general manager. “We’re really excited to have Chef Sozio on board. He brings a lot to the table with his history and experience.”

Sozio hails from Bucks County, Pennsylvania. One of four boys, his father owned a deli and restaurant in Andalusia where it was all hands on deck growing up. “We did everything from washing pots to stocking shelves and making hoagies,” he says. In his

senior year of high school, he started thinking about a career in cooking and was accepted into the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park.

On graduating, one of his first jobs was at Caneel Bay Resort in St. John, a Caribbean haven founded by Laurance Rockefeller. It was there Sozio met Executive Chef John Farnsworth.

Regaled by Food & Wine Magazine as being “one of the greatest chefs of his generation,” Farnsworth became Sozio’s long-time mentor. “He taught me everything,” says Sozio, “from

Heat the oil in a large pot and sweat the carrots, onions, celery and garlic over low heat until translucent and tender. Add the sausage and cook, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon while stirring. Add the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes.

Put the kale and parsley into soup bowls, ladle in soup and garnish with torn celery leaves.

cooking from scratch to buying the best ingredients in season and showing me how to tap into the local farms for the freshest produce.”

Two years into his stint in the Caribbean, the Dole Corporation hired a culinary crew from Caneel Bay to set up two similar resorts in Hawaii and Sozio became part of Farnsworth’s team. “In Hawaii, we had a co-op farm where the locals grew fruits, herbs and vegetables for the hotels and kept some for their families so it was a win-win for everybody,” he says.

After three and one-half years, he joined Farnsworth at the Mayflower Inn in Connecticut, an upscale boutique hotel. And just three years later, he followed Farnsworth yet again, this time to John’s Island in Vero Beach. On learning of the job, Sozio, an avid boater and fisherman, looked at a map and says he really didn’t have to think twice before moving here. “Both the environment and working for Chef Farnsworth again felt right,” he notes.

When describing his culinary journey to date, he says, “In my opinion, chefs sometimes advance too quickly and don’t get the experience they need. I took my time before I got my first management position as a sous chef and I also spent many years as an executive sous chef. I think it’s essential to build a foundation where you learn different food styles and techniques. I also think it’s important for chefs to travel to learn about different cultures.”

Rinse strawberries, remove stems and quarter. Place in a mixing bowl.

Wash blueberries and add to bowl with the sugar. Mix in a folding motion and allow to sit for 30 minutes.

Put mascarpone into separate mixing bowl and mix the honey, vanilla and cinnamon in by hand. Do not over mix.

To serve, put mascarpone into 6 rocks glasses. Fold the raspberries and mint into the rest of the berries and spoon on top of mascarpone along with the natural juices from the berries. Top with almond biscotti and serve.

The newly renovated Golf Club restaurant offers al fresco dining, fire pits and scenic views of the lake and fairways.

Feeling ready for a new challenge after 18 years at John’s Island, Sozio joined Orchid Island Club on October 1, 2014 as executive chef. He is privileged to oversee a team of seasoned professionals: newly hired Chef Michael Van Buskirk, previously from Cobalt, and 14-year veteran Wayan Sutriasa who Sozio says has invaluable knowledge of the club members and banqueting. Both embrace Chef Sozio’s passion for serving the freshest and most nutritious food. “All the staff are excited about the style of the new food program,” says Sozio.

nd it would seem members and employees are taking note. Member Jeanne-Marie Vargo praised the recent changes. “Executive Chef Chris Sozio’s leadership skills were apparent immediately upon arrival at Orchid this past fall,” she says. “The newly formed team deserves every ounce of recognition for their incredible culinary skills.” She says they now see dishes inspired by the freshest of Florida fish, prime cuts of meat and locally grown produce.

Vardo continues, “This team has created an enhanced and winning

dining experience at Orchid. I think I can easily speak for all the club’s members when I say, ‘Thank you so much’ for all the hard work they perform. It really shows!” Vargo continues. Director of Tennis Jim Buck concurs, saying that employees are benefiting from the fresh selections offered too.

“The meals are healthy, nutritious and really good,” he says. As the club prepares to celebrate its 25th anniversary this month, promoting optimum health and wellness would seem to be a winning formula all the way round.
