Integrating a new design into an existing clubhouse can be challenging due to the operational conditions of the building. In many cases the clubhouse must remain open for its members during renovations.

At Oakdale Golf & Country Club we have successfully phased several renovations over a number of years ensuring that the club continued to operate with little inconvenience to the members. The most recent project was planned in four phases beginning with the complete redesign of the pool area and cabana, followed by the renovation and extension of the women’s locker room.

Phase Three and Four of the project include a redesign to the club’s main entrance and the addition of a new coffee shop.

CORE knows that plans for renovation will often be executed over several years due to budgetary constraints. We work hard to present realistic designs that the stakeholders will support and that will also fit within the club’s annual budget for renovations and repairs. Women’s golf is one of the fastest growing sports in North America and the Oakdale Golf and Country Club felt it was necessary to not only add additional facilities to their Women’s Locker Room but to provide a fresh contemporary design to entice new members and provide existing members a new home that is both functional and elegant.
