Renovations on the Ridge

June 12, 2007

Linville Ridge has spent the past nine months conducting Phase I of the planned renovations to the Country Club. The items to date that have been completed are as follows:

Belvedere

• Much of the changes occurred to the back of the house
• Overhauled Belvedere Kitchen with new equipment reasons and overall functionality. Created a better flow for the servers and kitchen staff.
• Created more storage, again for functionality of the back of the house so that the front of the house benefits.
• Added a wood fire oven, so that the chefs could update the menu with new and exciting dishes
• A second fireplace was installed to add coziness to the dinning area.
• New roof was put on.
• Kid's Activity Room - Linville offers children's "camp" activities on and off the Ridge, so with the renovations of the Belvedere, we updated this area per the needs of this facility.

Sandwedge

• Created a Deli/Sandwich Shop which we are calling the "Sandtrap Deli"
• We added a coffee bar to the Sandtrap, the Sandtrap Coffee House, which is open at 7am for those in need of their morning coffee or just a great place to gather in the morning. Newspapers are available for sale there as well.
• Added wireless capabilities throughout the Sandwedge including the men and women's lounges.
• Added laptop computers with Internet accessibility to the men and women's lounges.
• Created covered "outside" dinning by adding Nano Doors to the Sandwedge. That way, part of the dinning room can be opened up to the outdoors .
• Customers get the long range views down the 10th Hole and out onto the driving range, on pretty days when the nano doors are opened.
• The nano doors also allow for part of the Sandwedge dinning room to be shut off, for meetings to occur, for example a women's golf association meeting that took place . . .They were not disturbed by people dining, and vice versa….
• A bar was added. This created a sense of community, to hang out at after a round of golf, or even an afternoon of cards.
• The men's lounge was updated in color and some décor.

Golf Course

• Holes 1-7 of the golf course have been renovated . . .under Bobby Weed with the plan to finish the rest of the holes by next season.
