BACKGROUND

Since 1921, Tavistock Country Club has been dedicated to creating an incomparable experience for its members, their families, and guests by providing premier golf, dining, and social events in the Delaware Valley. Over the years, the Club has invested in improvements needed to meet the changing needs of its members.

Previously, Chambers assisted the Club in developing a multi-phase, long-term plan and guided the Club in a Phase One renovation of the Women’s Locker Room, Kitchen, Banquet Restrooms, Bridal Suite, and Winter Lounge. As the next step in these ongoing efforts, the Club re-engaged Chambers to assist the Board with developing the next phase of renovations, specifically focused on member dining, the men’s locker room and lounge, and the outdoor dining terrace.


OUR APPROACH

Member dining design objectives included creating a dynamic adult-oriented bar/lounge and grille experience. The new bar area features a central, brass-accented, island bar surrounded by a variety of banquette, table, and soft seating. Moveable glass walls open on three sides of the bar to create an open-air, indoor-outdoor experience between the bar area and trellis-covered outdoor dining terrace.

The adjacent casual dining area features a mix of banquette and table seating with neutral tones and wood accents. An elegant wine display adds to the upscale aesthetic of this casual dining experience, while bolstering the space’s ability to transition into a private dining room when needed.

The men’s locker room and lounge enhancements included aesthetically upgrading the finishes in the locker room (featuring the famous metal lockers!) and restroom/shower areas on both levels, as well as relocating the bar in the Men’s Lounge to a more central location and increasing seating capacity. The design also relocated the cigar lockers and restroom area to provide a more welcoming impression when entering from the locker area while incorporating the existing fireplace and soft seating area.
