PORTLAND GOLF CLUB

Since 1914, The Portland Golf Club has been recognized as one of the Pacific Northwest’s most premier golf and hospitality facilities, offering members a broad range of amenities. In this case study, 2Hemispheres partnered with the club’s leadership to define a vision for the future needs of its members. Part of that vision was to introduce more training and entertainment opportunities, as well as to provide an elevated shopping experience. 2H designed and built a fitting studio space, featuring a state-of-the-art golf simulator environment to maximize year-round training and custom club fitting. The Pro Shop was also completely remodeled by 2H to mirror the look and feel of the main club house, creating an integrated member experience. The project included a full business assessment that led the custom design process, a refined space-plan to visually open up the shop, and an improved member services zone.

OSWEGO LAKE COUNTRY CLUB

Since 1924, Oswego Lake Country Club has been regarded as one of the top clubs in the Pacific Northwest. Designed by Chandler Egan, the course has challenged members for almost a century with its rolling hills and tree-lined fairways. The recently built Egan’s Bay Performance Center pays tribute to the creator of this pristine golf course and historic club facility. Converted from a former storage room, Egan’s Bay now offers members the opportunity to hone their skills in a 600 square foot indoor golf facility that features the latest in Trackman simulator technology as well as an array of club components from golf’s top brands to meet any need and skill level. 2Hemispheres worked with the club’s visionary leadership team to turn this space into a world-class training, fitting and entertainment facility for members to enjoy for many years to come.

American Lamb Board

HOW LOCAL IS YOUR LAMB?

When you menu local lamb, you’re supporting the nation’s shepherds and their families. The vast majority of the nation’s sheep operations are family owned and operators. And, they’re located in every state –from small flocks grazing on the grasses of the Northeast to larger flocks foraging in high mountain ranges in the West.

Today’s shepherds are familyfocused, entrepreneurial and dedicated to the health and welfare of their sheep.

Best of all, they are committed to producing the best quality lamb. That’s because most U.S. sheep producers raise breeds of sheep known as meat breads (rather than wool breeds). These meat breeds are regarded for their larger size and tender meat.

Your members care about where their food comes from, so call out fresh, homegrown local lamb on your menus. American Lamb. From American Land.

American Lamb Board

6300 E. Yale Avenue, Suite 110 Denver, CO 80222

www.americanlamb.com

FIVE REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SELECT AMERICAN LAMB:

1. IT’S FRESH. Family farmers and ranchers raise sheep in nearly every state, making fresh, local lamb available wherever you are. Fifty percent of the lamb consumed in the United States is imported from Australia and New Zealand. American Lamb is up to 10,000 miles and 30 days fresher than imported product.

2. IT’S AVAILABLE YEAR-ROUND. Because sheep are adapted to a wide range of climates and environments, you can get fresh American Lamb year-round.

3. IT’S FLAVORFUL. American Lamb is known for its mild yet distinctive flavor.

4. IT’S LARGER. Superior American sheep breeding, genetics and feeding practices produce lamb with larger muscling that provides for improved yield and impressive plate presentation.

5. IT’S GOOD STEWARDSHIP. Sheep improve pasture and rangeland by cycling vital nutrients back through the soil, minimizing erosion and encouraging native plant growth. Sheep grazed on a variety of nutrient-dense grasses, legumes and forage will produce succulent, tender meat.

C2 Limited Design Associates

C2 Limited Design Associates is an award-winning private club and resort design practice led by founding partners and cocreative directors Craig J. Smith and Christina H. Romann. Smith and Romann have created a signature niche in the worlds of luxury hotel, resort and exclusive private club design with their bespoke approach to design uniquely tailored to each client and their story.

C2 LIMITED DESIGN ASSOCIATES prides themselves on bringing a highly creative and collaborative approach to every stage of conceptual planning, design and project implementation. In doing so they ensure a holistic contextual integration of an assignment’s architectural backdrop, interior décor, and landscape design while successfully managing their client’s programmatic, budgetary and timeline expectations.

“As clubhouse designers, we always enjoy sharing our substantive new approaches to clubhouse and campus enhancements that improve the overall member experience, create a new or enhanced revenue opportunity, and streamline operational efficiencies.”

“We interviewed six different companies, both local and national firms. The field was reduced to two national companies, and in the end, we overwhelmingly selected C2 Limited Design Associates.

C2 was wonderful to work with; Craig Smith has a low-key style and is a great listener. He understands the committee process and the mind of a club member. Our project passed with an 81 percent approval, despite the largest member capital assessment ever.

Not only is the design a huge success, but Christina Romann’s interior decorating and furnishings are outstanding. The club now has a consistent look and feel throughout. I can’t thank C2 enough for the time, effort, and expertise they brought to our project.”

Popular models for the club market include the signature Prestige Collection with one-piece poles, heavy duty hubs, and powder coated and proprietary FiberTeak™ simulated wood finishes. Other important shade products used at clubs and resorts are Cantilever, Beach, Pavilion and Cabana models. Corporate headquarters and production facilities are located in Pompano Beach, FL and products are shipped worldwide.

FIBERBUILT SPECIALIZES IN shade products for country clubs, hotels and restaurants. Designers appreciate the diverse styles, sizes, shapes, fabrics and options they can choose from. General managers know they can rely on FiberBuilt’s reputation for their products’ structural integrity, durability and value.

FiberBuilt’s shade products solve a wide array of challenges. Whether the need is for in-table umbrellas for outdoor dining, large scale cantilevers that can tilt and swivel to accommodate multiple seating groups throughout the day, or inground mounted or in-pool models, FiberBuilt has a collection to suit your needs.

To accompany the umbrellas, we offer concrete, steel and aluminum bases, inground mounts and sand augers.

For the warm look of wood without the drawbacks of the natural material, our proprietary FiberTeak™ simulated wood line provides a textured wood grain look in three finish colors to coordinate with your furnishings. You can offer your members the ability to charge their devices while dining or relaxing poolside with our Wattsun umbrella which features a solar panel in the finial and a two-port USB charging station on the pole. To extend your guests’ stay at dinner, we offer an LED light kit with a battery pack that lasts 8 hours and has three light settings from subdued to bright. The LED arms attach to ½” and ¾” diam ribs.

In addition to selecting from hundreds of long lasting marine and furniture grade solution dyed acrylics from Sunbrella, Outdura and Tempotest, you can also customize the canopy by specifying popular design options such as scalloped valances, fringe, silk screened logos and alternating fabrics. For properties in locations prone to high winds or gusty breezes, or if the umbrella will be used on an upper floor terrace for outdoor dining or rooftop bar, our team recommends a double vent or our extra large Aruba vent to provide superior wind management and ensure years of problem-free service.

Additionally, to complement the umbrella canopies, FiberBuilt manufactures replacement cushions to refresh and update worn, stained or frayed dining, chaise and deep seating cushions. These can be accessorized with our decorative pillows, headrests and poufs.

All products are made to order and customized to your specifications. Production lead times have significantly improved since last year’s supply chain delays, but we recommend placing your orders early to ensure you receive the items you need before the season starts.

GIVE YOUR GUESTS A GREAT DINING EXPERIENCE BY SETTING THE TABLE FOR SUCCESS

MANY RESORTS, HOTELS, and hospitality destinations are looking to welcome visitors to their brand with new menus, new dining locations, new decor, and improved dining services. The focus in 2022 will be all about rebuilding a resort brand experience that creates confidence among guests and inspires more regular visits in the future.

While planning out these new arrangements for member dining, some critical areas need to be considered. Remember that sensitivities to sanitation and service will be at an all-time high during their visit. It is incumbent upon owners and operators to provide peace of mind to guests while they dine with you, or that business may not return— and they will likely share their poor experience with other potential guests.

Utilizing new dining areas is increasingly important for businesses that want to protect revenues and delight customers with a unique signature experience. Areas that were not originally designed for dining or socializing now create a great opportunity. Such areas can often have uneven surfaces that can be difficult for hospitality settings, creating wobbly tables that waste staff time, cost money, and ruin customer experiences.

FLAT® Table Bases, and FLAT® Equalizers for existing tables, are perfect solutions to make both indoor and outdoor dining experience a better option for both operators and members. Our patented products

allow tables to stabilize on uneven surfaces quickly and permanently.

FLAT® Table Bases automatically stabilize and lock into place on uneven surfaces like pool sides, decks and patios, and require zero effort from staff. This technology, located under the table base, allows servers to align adjoining tabletops in seconds. With over 50 FLAT® table base designs, we are confident you will find a table base to complement your décor and tabletops.

Use FLAT® Equalizers to fix your existing wobbly tables. Equalizers replace your tables’ existing screw-in glides and stabilize the table with just a press on the tabletop.

Creating an exclusive and memorable dining experience can be a daunting task. FLAT® has developed proven solutions to help you make this experience a positive one for your members and guests.

For the past ten years, Al Sutton, Director of Golf at Paradise Valley Country Club, kept a folder full of dreams. Inside were carefully selected articles, brochures, photos, sketches, and notes about golf learning facilities across the country in some of the most prestigious golf clubs in the world. These scraps of paper contained the vision of a Golf Learning Center at PVCC that would be unmatched in luxury and technology, giving Members a place to perfect their golf game like no other. And that is when Al knew it was time to hire the experts to implement his vision, and he chose PHX Architecture to design the PVCC Practice Facility.

Al, among others, recognized back then and every day since, that Paradise Valley Country Club had the potential to provide its Members with an exclusively elite golf instruction experience, the likes of which other Clubs simply couldn’t offer. Combined with the knowledge that Members were seeking golf instruction, equipment repair, and club fittings outside of PVCC.

Al saw an opportunity to bring all of those amenities, at an unparalleled level, to PVCC Membership. The idea of the Golf Learning Center slowly began to gain traction, and then in 2020 it became a reality, moving ahead swiftly with the support of General manager, Steve Richardson and the Executive Management team, the Board of Directors, the Long Range Planning Committee, Golf Committee, Building and Grounds Committee, and countless others.

Before construction could begin, the perfect location was carefully selected so as not to infringe on any existing turf and to replace an outbuilding that was in disrepair. The final location is spectacularly situated in the shadow of Camelback Mountain, just steps away from the main Clubhouse, but far enough to be a destination all its own.

Every detail was carefully curated, vetted, and selected to provide Members with an experience that simply doesn’t exist outside of PVCC.

The learning center is definitely a “dream come true” for many of the members.

Southern Aluminum

Southern Aluminum is the leading manufacturer of innovative linenless meeting and event furniture. For more than 40 years, we have pioneered a wide range of furniture, including meeting and banquet tables, event cocktail tables, mobile nesting buffets, mobile bar and beverage systems, retail-style shelving, and much more. Our suite of linenless solutions can complement any space design through our multi-faceted product customization.

INDUSTRY EXPERTS

By tradition, Southern Aluminum began as an outdoor furniture manufacturer when Founder Charlie Taylor began crafting picnic tables in 1978 as a retirement hobby. The company eventually found its way into the hospitality industry in the early 2000’s through designing products for meeting and event spaces. Partnering with key customers, we quickly became the leader of linenless event furniture through handcrafting meeting tables and banquet furniture to meet industry demands for linenless products. Designed to elevate customer experiences and activate spaces for a myriad of purposes, our focus today is to offer dynamic solutions to support operational needs through innovative, long lasting, quality products.

THE LINENLESS ADVANTAGE

Linens and their associated upkeep affect daily operations and considerably impact budget. From longer employee setup hours, to elevated laundry costs, to keeping up on inventory par levels, linens have become a thing of the past for operators. A “less-is-more” approach is the right approach, and it has become a compelling business case to transition to a linenless table platform, one that provides so much return with a more environmentally conscious position.

OUTDOOR INNOVATION

In true Southern Aluminum fashion, our most recent product launches have been ahead of the curve this time complementing the ever-growing outdoor trend. VERGE, Taylor Collection, and XCube Outdoor are the newest, timeless innovations purposefully designed to respond to customer demand for moving events outside.

Bringing Southern Aluminum back to its roots, VERGE was created to modernize the popular heritage product, Southern Piknik®. Designed to activate outdoor hotel spaces and recreational areas, VERGE is the modern-style picnic and event table built to withstand all the elements with style.

Paying tribute to our founder, Taylor Collection features a folding leg and slat-style tabletop design constructed of high-grade aluminum and a durable UVprotected powder coat finish. A perfect solution for flexible outdoor venue spaces, Taylor is available in banquet rounds and rectangles and will perform regardless of the terrain and forecast.

Purpose built to set-and-strike with ease, XCube Outdoor is the must-have versatile and durable product with interchangeable folding bases. XCube Outdoor withstands the elements to furnish cocktail hours, buffet setups, and activations for outdoor spaces.

As venues look for dynamic linenless solutions to activate purpose-driven meetings and events outside of the traditional meetings space, we are confident that our products are a gamechanger for the industry.

Reliable and well-crafted product is only as good as the people who craft it, and at Southern Aluminum our people mean everything to the quality and integrity of what we produce. We care deeply about our relationships with customers, and we do what’s right because it’s the right thing to do. Putting people first is a core value for us, and with our southern roots, this has naturally always been a driving force behind all we do.
