Major renovations are underway at the Country Club at DC Ranch.
The exclusive private club is restoring its iconic clubhouse and golf course with the help of PHX Architecture, the interior design firm SB Design of Phoenix, and Wespac Construction. The $4 million project is set to be completed by early November.
“The Country Club at DC Ranch has some of the most breathtaking views in the Valley,” said Erik Peterson, principal of PHX Architecture, in a statement. “The dining room has historically overlooked the 18th fairway and the McDowell Mountains. While that remains, we have opened up much of the dining experience to face south, enabling us to capture the elevation change and nighttime city lights. And by adding bi-folding doors opening up to the gorgeous patio areas, we are bringing the indoors out and the outdoors in. It’s a magnificent setting.”
The focal point of the redesigned clubhouse at DC Ranch is the U-shaped bar lounge. Additional seating areas will make it easy to socialize and grab a drink after a challenging round on the green. The club's Par 71 Tom Lehman- and John Fough-designed golf course is also being updated to include renovated greenside bunkers.
“These improvements will further raise the stature of our golf course, providing our members and their guests with an unsurpassed round of golf,” said Dick Hyland, director of golf at The Country Club at DC Ranch, in a statement. “Our bunkers throughout the course will be in pristine shape and will be able to recover quicker to perfect playing conditions after any inclement weather.”
Six tennis courts will furthermore be reconditioned in the US Open (USTA) blue surface color, which will provide players with better sight lines, while five courts will be equipped with lighting for nighttime play. A pro shop and snack bar will also be installed.
Located at the base of the McDowell Mountains in the beautiful Sonoran desert, The Country Club at DC Ranch first began as an early 20th century cattle ranch. For the past 20 years, the club has gained a reputation as one of the Southwest’s premier private clubs for its inviting lifestyle, social and sporting opportunities for couples, families and professionals.
