Nestled in the breathtaking Rocky Mountains, the Foothills Golf Course, a renowned 36-hole public course, recently completed an ambitious clubhouse renovation. Originally built in 1974, the renovation was led by RTM in collaboration with JNS Architecture + Interior Design, focusing on MEP, technology, and specialty lighting design services. The goal was to create a new standard for public golf course clubhouses while preserving the building’s significance.
The design combines sustainability with striking aesthetics, featuring exposed heavy timber structures, glulam columns, and beams that enhance the clubhouse’s visual appeal. A standout feature is the elevated position above the 18th hole, offering panoramic views of the Front Range, with the space also serving as a west-facing deck perfect for large events. Expansive lounges, integrated shade structures, and a blend of indoor-outdoor spaces foster a vibrant environment for dining and relaxation.
Lighting design is central to the renovation, with large windows allowing abundant daylight to create a seamless connection between the interior and surrounding landscape. Strategic uplighting emphasizes key architectural features, highlighting the building’s scale and design elements. Exterior lighting ensures safety and enhances aesthetics by illuminating pathways, parking areas, and architectural details like the entry canopy, extending the welcoming ambiance throughout the site.
By integrating sustainable design and innovative lighting solutions, the renovated clubhouse sets a new benchmark for public golf course facilities.
