2019 Expansion at Shadow Wood Country Club
Shadow Wood Country Club is committed to investing in its Club facilities to provide the ultimate member experience with the best amenities. Shadow Wood Members voted and approved a $5.2 million project to build a covered outdoor casual dining venue. Construction is underway and expected to be complete late 2019.
The expansion will convert the former outdoor Piazza to a covered dining area which will include 262 seats and a large center gathering bar. A variety of seating options will capitalize on the magnificent unrestricted golf course views. The new restaurant will be adjacent and accessible to the existing Grill & Bella rooms. The dining areas will be connected via use of a folding glass door system for easy member access. The proximity of the existing Event Plaza and fire pits from the new dining area will provide for a comfortable cocktail space before and after dinner while enjoying colorful sunsets or the warmth of the fire. The new dining venue will include a folding glass door system which can be left open or closed to heat or air condition the space to make it an enjoyable indoor-outdoor dining experience in all weather conditions.
A new self-contained outdoor kitchen will be built to serve this new dining venue. It will house a pizza oven and sushi bar and will be equipped to provide more casual dining menu options.
The leading country club architect and design firm, Peacock + Lewis, has been contracted to complete this project. Construction commenced April 2019 and will be completed by the end of the year with no disruption to service.
