Trey Bayliss, General Manager/CEO of Pinehurst Country Club in Denver, Colo., and Christina Wynn, the club's Director of Communications, joined Rob Thomas on the Club + Resort Talks podcast to discuss a $21.5 million capital plan for the club. Key projects include golf course repairs, a new pool with a resort-style snack bar, and upgraded cart paths. The golf course renovations will address erosion and degradation, with work starting in 2027. The new pool, expected to cost $9 million, will feature a zero-entry area, a kiddie pool, and a splash pad. The club also plans to install lights at the racquet sports facility to extend play into shoulder seasons. Also in the news, the extensive renovation project at Monterey Peninsula Country Club is nearing completion. The current project by Zinkand Golf Design, the third phase of the master plan, touches all of the Shore Course's bunkers and waste areas; each is receiving new drainage and capillary flow liners. The extensive upgrades at Boca Royale Golf & Country Club in Wellen Park, Fla., include reimagined pools, restaurants, a bar, and a pro shop, along with the addition of a spacious outdoor dining pavilion. The community's 18-hole semi-private championship golf course underwent significant improvements, as well. Lastly, Arcis Golf continues its partnership with Els for Autism. Purchases—including merchandise, food and beverage, and golf—made by Arcis Golf club members and guests are “rounded up” to the nearest dollar with the round-up amounts donated to Els for Autism.
