Racine Country Club
Racine, Wisconsin
In 2017, a group of Club members donated one golf simulator to membership. With a taste of the technology, a generous member funded the construction of a state-of-the-art, 8,000 SF golf-centric lodge. Given the Club members’ affinity for the sport and the forward-thinking, cutting-edge nature of the project, it created a lot of buzz in the southwestern Wisconsin club.
Completed in 2022, the Billows Lodge includes six heated bays for outdoor use, as well as four indoor simulators that not only allow members to play their favorite worldwide courses from the comfort of their club, they double as arcade games for members’ children.
The innovative plan and design for the Lodge also makes it a more valuable and relevant asset for the Club as it effectively becomes a year-round event space. Members will be able to enjoy such winter activities as sledding, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing and the outdoor fire pits will push the social calendar through the colder months of the year.
The Billows Lodge also includes a bar, kitchen, new bathrooms, and staff offices.
