Orchard Lake Country Club has completed a $7.1 million renovation of its 59,000-square-foot clubhouse and nearby 6,000-square-foot lake house.
The transformation allowed for the creation of a more fluid connection between indoor amenities and the natural beauty of Orchard Lake’s shores, while restoring the original intent of the architects’ vision for the club.
Among the upgrades are a completely redesigned and redecorated interior of the clubhouse and lake house, an expanded terrace and pool deck, a new pro shop and the purchase of new sailboats and new gym equipment, including Peloton bikes.
This project represents the first Michigan country club facility redesigned by renowned national firm C2 Limited Design Associates, which counts elite private clubs, hotels, and resorts around the world as clients.
“Orchard Lake Country Club is squarely focused on creating a destination space for family experiences,” says Peter Swick, general manager and COO of the club. “The renovation will provide new opportunities for members to take full advantage of our grounds – from golf, sailing, and paddle boarding to gathering around a bonfire or enjoying cuisine created by our exceptional chefs. Members have invested in the club experience to benefit the future of a growing membership.”
The reconstruction follows a 2012 complete revamp of the golf course, which is ranked 15th on the Golf Digest 2019-2020 list of best golf courses in Michigan.
“The renovated spaces and amenities are transforming the membership experience at Orchard Lake Country Club,” says Nick Nicolay, president of the club’s board of directors. “We are consistently focused on providing opportunities for members to create truly distinctive memories and our new clubhouse and lake house offer an impeccable foundation. We continue to invest in projects that position the club as an unparalleled space for fun and leisure, now and into the future.”
