Dear Owners,
As we continue sharing information about the proposed Clubhouse Refresh Project, we wanted to take a moment to introduce the design professionals who have been guiding this process.
RealFood Hospitality, Strategy & Design (RF DesignStudio) is a nationally recognized hospitality consulting and design firm with nearly 30 years of experience creating exceptional dining and clubhouse environments. Founded by Executive Chef Ed Doyle, the firm began with a focus on designing highly functional commercial kitchens before expanding into full-service hospitality strategy, foodservice planning, and interior design.
Today, RealFood is part of the Troon family and has completed more than 1,200 projects across 43 states, serving private clubs, resorts, hotels, restaurants, and other hospitality venues throughout the country. Their team of hospitality strategists, designers, architects, and foodservice specialists works collaboratively to create spaces that are not only visually appealing, but also comfortable, functional, durable, and designed to stand the test of time.
As with any design project, we recognize that opinions will vary. Design is inherently personal, and it is perfectly natural for individuals to have different preferences when it comes to colors, finishes, and overall style. Some have described the proposed design as "dated," while others have called it elegant, timeless, and inviting. Taste is subjective, and it is perfectly reasonable for people to have different design preferences.
The responsibility throughout this process has been to engage experienced hospitality professionals and make thoughtful decisions that balance aesthetics, durability, functionality, and long-term value for the entire community. While not every selection will appeal to everyone, each recommendation has been made intentionally as part of a cohesive design vision developed by experienced clubhouse designers. No design project ever receives unanimous approval, and our objective is to create a clubhouse that will serve the entire community for many years to come.
It is also important to remember that the renderings are conceptual illustrations intended to communicate the overall design vision. The finished spaces will include textures, lighting, furnishings, artwork, landscaping, and other details that cannot be fully represented in a digital rendering and will ultimately bring the design to life.
