SOUTHPORT, NC – The recent ground breaking celebration for the new Reserve Clubhouse was a true celebration of what’s to come for club members of St. James Plantation, the number one-selling community in the coastal Carolinas. More than 500 party-goers gathered to toast the soon-to-be fourth clubhouse and enjoyed hors d’oeuvres, a wine bar and the opportunity to walk the future site. The Reserve Club golf professionals offered custom club fittings, a sidewalk sale and a 30-foot putting contest for prizes.
“The atmosphere at the ground breaking was festive and in roughly 18 months, we’ll be gathering for the grand opening celebration of a special clubhouse – built with our members in mind,” says Bill Schoettelkotte, vice president and project leader for the clubhouse. “It’s a testament to the continued commitment of the developers to further enhance over $100 million in completed amenities.”
The 24,000-square-foot clubhouse will feature private dining areas, an intimate wine room, a large dining room and screened dining porch, and a cozy bar. And, The Reserve Clubhouse will be the first LEED certified clubhouse in Southeastern North Carolina.
The building design is spearheaded by Principal Hugh Barrett Coyle, AIA, of Chapman Coyle Chapman Associates, a respected leader in club design. Founded in 1969, the firm’s world-class architectural talent is the ideal complement to the Reserve’s Nicklaus Design course. The Clubhouse is slated for completion in April 2011.
