artifacts and trophies have been relocated to create a shrine to
the game of golf and the history of the PGA.
TRANSFORMATION
PGA Golf Club members now enjoy the brand new Nineteen
Sixteen Bar and Grille, with its own kitchen, airy dining
room and bar with views out to the 18th hole of the Wanamaker
Course, known years ago as the South Course. Outside
the bar is the Wanamaker Pavilion, a covered patio with
fire pits and comfortable chairs so people can watch players
finish their rounds.
The President’s Board Room pays homage to leaders of the
PGA for the past 100 years and opens out to the patio. The kitchen
was expanded, including the addition of a large pizza oven.
The Pro Shop now opens up to a high ceiling. The sales
counter was moved to the center to give it a “retail center
vibe.” Elevated platforms around the room display golf
apparel. Separate expanded, brand-new locker rooms are
available for members, their guests and the public.
“This newly renovated and expanded clubhouse signals
a transformation for PGA Golf Club,” said general manager
Jimmy Terry. “We now have a magnificent cornerstone to accompany
our championship golf courses that will serve as a
point of pride for our PGA members, guests and golfers from
around the world to enjoy.”
During the high season, 225 employees serve 1,600 members
and the public. During the season, half the golfers come
from the Northeast and mid-Atlantic states to play at PGA
Golf Club.
As part of the renovations, extensive work was completed
on the Wanamaker Course at a cost of $350,000. All 14 fair- >>
The renovated Pro Shop is awash in color and light from the high ceilings.
