Hamilton Golf & Country Club

Hamilton Golf and Country Club retained +VG to design a comprehensive master plan and renovation of the existing historic clubhouse.

The original clubhouse was constructed circa 1924 and retained much of its original fabric. The project involved the redevelopment of the building to provide contemporary member and event space, including newly configured locker rooms for men and women, new kitchen facilities, new lounge and member restaurant areas, as well as a new addition to accommodate large member and external events (capacity for 210).

OslerBrook Golf Clubhouse

The course, designed by award-winning Canadian golf course architect Graham Cooke, was the only private member-owned championship 18-hole facility in the Collingwood area.

With the escarpment as its backdrop and long vistas to Georgian Bay, this 12,500 ft² clubhouse provides members with a refined but casual facility for dining and gathering “apres golf”. The facility includes locker rooms for 450, club storage area, pro shop, small commercial kitchen, and multi-functional dining/banquet space, bar, and deck areas.

Wyndance Golf Clubhouse

The site for this “platinum level” golf facility, with a course designed by golfing legend Greg Norman, is a surreal landscape of rugged terrain, wild grasses, sand and gravel deposits, and turquoise pools.

The architectural inspiration is the Southwest language typified by resorts in Arizona and New Mexico. The 25,000 ft² facility offers large deck areas overlooking the landscape with exterior amenities, such as covered patios and stone fireplaces. The building accommodates banquet facilities, member bar, dining and lounge areas, locker rooms, fully equipped pro shop, indoor cart storage for over 100 carts, and a large commercial kitchen. The central stone mass, or “butte”, houses the rooftop mechanical equipment and kitchen below.

Legends on the Niagara Golf Clubhouse

The Legends on the Niagara Golf Clubhouse is a five star golf facility for Niagara Parks Commission, representing the cornerstone for golf in Niagara and beyond.

The clubhouse is situated on a man-made lake on the historic site of the War of 1812 – Battle of Chippawa, which occurred on July 5th, 1814. This facility was built to enhance tourism to the Niagara Golf Trail.

Legends on the Niagara features two 18 hole courses – “The Battlefield” by Doug Carrick and “Usher’s Creek” by Thomas McBroom. Usher’s Creek was the site of a pivotal battle on July 15th, 1814 where American forces won their first battle against the British in the war of 1812.

Because it is part of the holdings of the Niagara Parks Commission, the designers wanted a park-like pavilion. +VG drew on the historic and local themes of historic forts, local buildings and parks pavilions, as well as the escarpment itself to develop the architectural concept. The facility offers lockers, casual Bar/Bistro and fully equipped pro shop, and also includes banquet facilities for up to 300 in tournaments, and underground cart storage.
