Red Rocks Country Club Announces $4.2 Million Expansion
Morrison, CO (PRWEB) April 30, 2014 -- Red Rocks Country Club (RRCC) today announced the $4.2 million renovation of its clubhouse and environs. The new facility will more than double the existing square footage of this private golf and country club 10 miles west of Denver. “Red Rocks Country Club historically has been a friendly natural setting to entertain family, friends and clients,” said General Manager Mark Condon. “And this expansion will allow us to accommodate our growing membership from across the Front Range and Denver.”
The existing 18-hole golf course, which winds its way through ancient rock formations, is carved into a landscape made internationally important by Red Rocks Amphitheatre, both of which are a scenic 20-minute drive from Denver. The design process extends from close consultation with members and other stakeholders in recent years, to identify approaches best suited to the unique climate and landscape of the American West. “We’re making the transition as seamless as possible for our members,” said Bernard Hockenberry, the Owner’s Construction Manager. “Work will begin toward the end of the golf season, and the new clubhouse will be unveiled right as Spring 2015 is in full swing.”
RRCC partnered with Hyder Construction, a Denver firm founded in 1947 with roots in the Colorado mountains. Hyder’s in-house designers worked closely with the Red Rocks team to develop a three-dimensional rendering, which conveys the dramatic scale of the project: “We combine Building Information Modeling with our construction acumen,” said Architect of Record Michael Dire, “giving clients a collaborative engagement in the process.”
The project was developed on principals of sustainable building, evident in the use of natural materials—sand and stone, earth and wood. The architecture offers a visual analogue to the undulating peaks and valleys of the Front Range, with a graceful roofline that echoes the surrounding landscape. Cart storage will be brought underground—reducing the facility’s carbon footprint and freeing up space for recreational amenities—and the existing community garden will continue to be tended to by members and staff.
The remodeled dining areas will cater to 19th-hole leisure and fine dining alike, including a casual bar and grill, and a dedicated restaurant for member dining, parties, weddings and special occasions. “The thriving social scene at Red Rocks simply outgrew our existing clubhouse,” said Marketing and Communications Director Jackie Mack. “Now we’ll have an expansive space to match the spirit of this close-knit community.”
