Best Residential/Hospitality: Sea Pines Harbour Town Clubhouse
With the two-phase renovation at Harbour Town Golf Links championship golf course at Hilton Head Island, S.C., Choate Construction Co. updated the 17-year-old conference center’s exterior, demolished the existing clubhouse and constructed its replacement, all within a 10-month window. Even though the facility remained open all year, construction and demolition occurred without interruption to players and guests.
The new three-story clubhouse sits atop roughly the same footprint of the original building, but adds another 25,000 sq ft. Constructed within 2 in. of the existing conference center, the clubhouse ties into the adjacent building’s kitchen and corridors. Designed by Grady Woods Architects, the clubhouse features custom millwork, 18,000 sq ft of reclaimed white oak floors, a curved monumental staircase and wrap-around terraces with covered porches. Altogether, craftspeople installed nearly 20 miles of interior and exterior running trim.
