Regents approve $15M U-M Golf Course Clubhouse
What was originally presented at the regents meeting in May but was thrown out with no action being taken, Hackett came back and got the new U-M Golf Course Clubhouse approved in his second attempt.
Here are renderings of the Richard L. Postma Family Clubhouse at U-M Golf Course. Work is scheduled to begin in November and conclude a year later around the same time of construction.
Was his 2nd go around simply him walking in with the artistic renderings... saying "Nike, bitches!"... dropping the mic and walking out?
I think he just said "169", but he did wear the crown I hear.
Is this out of the AD budget? I assume so if Hackett presented.
It came from the Stephen Ross budget
Regardless of which budget it came out of, $15 mil is a huge waste... I agree that the facilities needed an update, but the reason that 75% of golf courses fail is because they overspend on the clubhouse, mostly because they expect some big payback from the outings, weddings, restaurant etc... I don't think the UM course will fail, but it certainly won't go down as a good investment.
Not to be a downer - and I'll accept my negging - but my family has been in the golf biz for decades and this is the reality.
Nevermind - I see from the article its from the AD budget and gifts. The later being the operative I assume.
When will they expand the football stadium!? I want more fans!
If they decide to......not until they're done with this huge line of building projects which will be complete in 2019 at the latest.
The final piece of this wave of construction is a new arena to replace Cliff Keen.
But I want a bigger stadium NOW! As big as Bristol Speedway. I want somewhere close to 150,000.
You trolling ball of fluff.
I'm not trolling.
Yes, I'm a marsupial as you humans classify it. I will admit that I resemble a small bear.
Is is because you want them to grow eucalyptus hedges near the field so you can snack at halftime?
But I am afraid that the sparty mascot will also want to graze with you.
This^
After the next National Championship ought to do the trick. Give it a couple of years or so.

I'm not paying 50 cents for no Coke!
Aren't they also planning to renovate one of the holes too?

Fun fact: The Tee on 18 is the highest elevation point in Ann Arbor.

This is actually good to know because we had 2-3 designs for serving this building when they originally sent us the preliminary plans. Of course, all of them involve boring under W. Stadium from somewhere in the OSEH parking lot, so yeah.....not easy.
It does look cool, and this was much needed, I think.
No rear balcony?
Still looks like a UM Health System office center rather than a golf clubhouse. Bummer.
Spot on. Left the same comment down below
Color me unimpressed. I haven't understood the insistence on designing every athletic facility like a corporate sponsored airport lounge. Think of the great tracks in America - part of a golf courses charm is the unique character of its clubhouse. It's how we remember them. The AD missed an nice opportunity to leave a distinctive stamp on UM's golf program, and instead basically built a hotel lobby bar.
