NEW GOLF CLUBHOUSE FOR MOUNT PLEASANT GOLF CLUB, LOWER STONDON, BEDFORDSHIRE

​

Mount Pleasant Golf Club is a popular golf course in a village setting established in 1992, formed from farm land. Originally the Clubhouse was converted from a small milking shed, but by 2008 the club had outgrown the building.

​

We were commissioned to design a new single storey clubhouse and pro-shop in a more picturesque overlooking the course.

​

Our approach was to focus on the perfect setting for the 19th hole, to allow golfers to relax after a game of golf be it in the bar lounge or outside under a full width covered verandah, all overlooking the last green. This focus also allowed us to dramatise the roof form with a large cantilevered prow. The building also acts as a perfect backdrop as golfers drive from the 18th tee, and make their way up the final fairway.

​

The Clients very much welcome non-golfers from the village and beyond, and the interior reflects this with a neutrality which is comfortable for all concerned. The clubhouse incorporates two function rooms with views down the fairway, and a full commercial kitchen, to service the restaurant and small events and functions for golfers and non-golfers alike.

​

The building is heated via an air source heat pump, and hot water supplied via solar heating panels.

​

The Clubhouse was completed in the summer of 2010, won two prizes at The Club Mirror Awards 2010, including Proprietary Club of the Year 2010.
