Clubhouse Project Update
We are excited to share the progress we've made in our renovation plans at Riverbend Country Club. For over a year, we've been working closely with Thom Meek, our architect from GHP, to develop plans that best suit the needs of Riverbend and our community. We are in the final stages of selecting a contractor and look forward to sharing a start date soon!

No Additional Assessments

We understand that some members have concerns about potential assessments. Rest assured, there will be no assessments. The renovations and all future capital improvements will be funded through the monthly capital improvement fees that members already pay.

Why Renovate?

Our clubhouse has not seen significant updates in many years. We are currently spending thousands of dollars on maintenance and repairs just to keep the building functional. It’s time for a new clubhouse that not only reduces these ongoing costs but also attracts new members to our vibrant community.

 

Clubhouse Renovation Plans

​

Upstairs

Dining & Bar: All dining services will be moved upstairs. We’re introducing an elevated bar with access to our patio, offering stunning views of the golf course. We’re also adding decking around the dining area, with partial roofing for year-round enjoyment.

Flexible Event Spaces: If the dining room and bar are booked for an event, our downstairs lounge area will be converted into a dining space. The Red Room will remain but with a movable wall, allowing it to serve as either an open space for larger events or a private dining/meeting room.

Lobby & Facilities: We’re reconfiguring the lobby area by relocating the ladies' restroom and offices, creating a more open and inviting foyer.

Curb Appeal: The front of the clubhouse will undergo a complete transformation, featuring a new portico that can accommodate 3 to 4 cars. We’ll also extend the main dining area wall and add windows to enhance the clubhouse's curb appeal.

Kitchen

The kitchen will be fully renovated for greater efficiency. We are working with a kitchen designer to create a space that can efficiently serve our dining rooms. This will include a larger walk-in cooler and freezer, which will be attached to the inside of the building for easier access and improved functionality.

Downstairs

Golf Shop: The golf shop will be expanded with windows overlooking the putting greens, offering a more inviting atmosphere.

Bar & Kitchen: The downstairs bar will be redesigned with a walk-in cooler to ensure a steady supply of cold beer and wine. A warming kitchen will be added, so food will always be available when the bar is open.

Locker Rooms & Family Bathrooms: The locker rooms will be remodeled, with showers added to both the men's and women’s areas. Additionally, we’re adding two family bathrooms with outside access for pool users.

 

Future Capital Projects

We are not forgetting about our greatest asset: our golf course. It’s in excellent condition, thanks to Jeremy Fann and his team. We plan to continue making yearly improvements, and Jeremy has exciting ideas for winter projects.

In addition, we are exploring the following future capital projects:

Cart Storage:

Moving the cart storage to the field beside the parking lot, which will open up the view to our golf course.

Pool Area:

Redoing the fence around the pool and adding a splash pad.

Tennis Courts:

Resurfacing the tennis courts and repainting the fencing around them.
