Update on the Lone Pine Pavilion

Dear Members,

I am pleased to report that the Lone Pine Pavilion project will commence next month, 20th September 2023. The build time is expected to be approximately 4 – 6 months, weather dependent.

This state of the art facility will first and foremost support Members enjoyment whilst on course and at times provide an additional venue option for events. I can confirm that the final design of the Pavilion includes:

  • 3 x toilets
  • Service Area with opening to the front section of the Pavilion with use as follows:
    • Staffed on Wednesdays and Saturdays on a trial basis. Note that the venue must be staffed if alcohol is to be purchased.
    • Self-service ALL other days for food and non-alcoholic drinks
    • Seating area that can be utilised by Members at times
  • Feature shutters along the western side protecting from the sun.
  • 1 x store room housing a BBQ along with chairs etc
  • Filtered water and a vending machine in the corridor to ensure availability at all times

The architect, BB Architects, together with builder, Mazzone Construction, have selected high end materials and finishes to complement the Pavilion. These selections have been made to fulfil the brief of being premium quality that enhances our Golf Club, whilst also building an iconic structure that remains relevant and fit for purpose for many years to come.

Committee and Management are very excited about the Pavilion and thank all of the generous donors for making this project happen. Special thanks to past Captains Paul Duregon, Paul McGrath and Tony Martin for driving this project from the beginning. The Lone Pine Pavilion will truly be a unique and iconic building of which Members can be extremely proud.

Full Detail regarding Lone Pine Pavilion Project

Design

The brief provided to the architect was to design a Pavilion that is timeless in design, blends into the surrounds of our golf course, is fit for purpose, requires minimal maintenance and can viewed as iconic. David Brown from BB Architects took all these aspects on board and presented a design based on famous structures around the world that are definitely iconic and remain timeless, examples being the Barcelona Pavilion built in 1929 and Farnsworth House built between 1945-51 in Chicago.

Tender Process

The Club sought expressions of interest from builders to execute the Pavilion build. A Quantity Surveyor was also used to cost the project and ensure that all quotes were reasonable considering the current market. Four quality builders put forward quotes and following a detailed selection process conducted by the Committee, Architect and a couple of industry expert Members, Mazzone Construction was selected to build the Pavilion based on the agreed criteria.

The Architect then worked together with Mazzone Construction to finalise some of the finishes and to ensure the vision of the Pavilion is realised. The builder also worked with the Club to review all finishes to confirm the building was fit for purpose and minimal maintenance going forward is achieved. The builder has also been very accommodating in terms of certain timeframes to be met and to ensure golf continues and remains a priority during the building process.

The final floor plan and dimensions can be found in the diagram below.
