Craftsman Comfort

The Pinery Country Club – the hub of one of the first large-scale residential developments in Parker outside of Denver – is welcoming its members for the 2025 golf season with a fully renovated clubhouse.

The project concluded last fall but with the launch of the spring golf season, snowbirds are seeing it for the first time.

The clubhouse project involved a full re-envisioning of the interior. Walls were taken down and dining rooms, grills and lounges all were re-designed to give a fresh feel that flows cleanly one to another.

“For members, the biggest comments are threefold – the clubhouse is more open, there were more walls – and it’s got that Craftsman look to it,” said Mike Jones, the general manager of the club since last summer. “That, combined with getting a new chef, Joshua Becker, increased the quality of the food and better service. Members right now are super happy. Lots of Praderamembers are coming over. Right now, the vibe is positive.”

The club is owned by Arcis Golf and has a partnership with another Arcis club nearby, The Club at Pradera.

“Through the creation of an open clubhouse flow, members now enjoy an enhanced experience that fosters a warm, social club culture,” the club’s operators, Arcis Golf, said in an announcement about the renovations. “The fireplace lounge flows to the bar, allowing members to gather spontaneously over cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. The dining rooms are furnished with custom banquette seating and trestle-style farm tables, offering unincumbered sunset views of the Mountain Course’s ninth hole.”

“The Pinery is known as a thriving, family-centric club,” said Blake Walker, Chairman and CEO of Arcis Golf. “We wanted to provide each family member with additional opportunities to engage and connect with others. The airier, open clubhouse design accomplishes this by promoting greater interaction and providing additional spaces to relax and create new memories.”

Elements of the design celebrate the American Craftsman’s historical roots, incorporating patterned wallpapers and textiles by William Morris, whose designs heavily influenced the American Craftsman style.

The outdoor patio has been renovated as an extension of the main dining room, with seating for 100 guests. There’s more room throughout the clubhouse, including at the newly transformed Golfer’s Grill. Known as the “The Prohibition Room,” the space pays homage to Colorado’s bootleggers rebellion, which led to the repeal of Prohibition and developed an early foundation for the brewing culture the region is lauded for today, the club’s announcement states.

“The clubhouse is finished and now it’s just a matter of taking care of our members,” Jones said
