The newest lodging facility at GreatHorse received third place in the 2022 Golf Inc. Magazine Amenity of the Year contest in the Private Club category. Entries were judged on project goals, overall aesthetics, and financial benefit.
The vision behind The New Lodge, a new member guest house at GreatHorse, was to create lodging with a premium layout for entertaining for its members, from private, elegant dinners to quaint birthday celebrations.
The shared kitchen and living area were built as the socialization hub of The New Lodge, which opened in August 2021.
All four bedrooms can be reserved together so large groups can have private rooms to sleep but can spend time together in the shared kitchen and living area. Members are not required to reserve the entire facility if they do not need to, so they have the flexibility of reserving the amenity on a per-room basis.
