« on: September 05, 2023, 04:13:42 PM »
(LINCOLN, Neb.) – Golf course developer and construction company Landscapes Unlimited’s Lost Rail Golf Club in Gretna, Neb. was voted “Clubhouse of the Year” by Golf Inc. Magazine.
It is the second award the year-old Lost Rail received from the magazine.  In June, it was named one of the world’s top three new private clubs.Read more with pics:https://www.firstcallgolf.com/industry-news/release/2023-09-02/landscapes-unlimiteds-lost-rail-golf-club-named-golf-inc-magazine-clubhouse-of-the-year

I was drawn to this because my club is looking into building a new clubhouse.  My comment on Lost Rail: Whatever turns you on.

I think LR's clubhouse would turn most on. It is not large, but it is tastefully done and impeccably furnished.

I know this is way OT. I look at the pictures of the bar area and the bar itself is jammed with stools. I would prefer a bar without stools for a grill room such as the one pictured. I think a standing only bar with tables create greater interaction in the room and better flow. Other thoughts or preferences on bars with or without stools?


The clubhouse looks beautiful.

My point about "whatever turns you on" is that different people have different tastes, naturally.  What will appeal to some will not appeal to others.  That's what makes trying to identify a "clubhouse of the year" rather meaningless, in my opinion. (Sort of like trying to rank golf courses.)  Sure, plenty of folks are going to go for the Split Rail style, and others not.  As I mentioned my club is trying to figure out whether and how to build a new clubhouse.  The current one is over 60 years old and out of date in many respects.  Systems are failing.  Do we continue to repair as needed, or start fresh?  An assessment will be required if a new clubhouse is built, and that requires approval of over one-half our members (251 our of 500).  Our leadership has been working for over a year on something to propose to the membership, and as you can imagine, it's been an arduous job, trying to take all points of view into account.  Eventually they'll come up with a plan that they'll hope satisfies at least a majority.  One thing for sure -- they won't please everyone -- that's not possible.
