for Pound Ridge Clubhouse
(POUND RIDGE, N.Y.) – Pound Ridge Golf Club announces that custom builder Mark Mosolino has received a prestigious Home Building Industry (HOBI) Award from the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Connecticut for his renovation of its clubhouse.
Mosolino took home the coveted “2014 Best Commercial Rehab Overall” award for his ability to maximize the structure’s utility and aesthetics. Considered an expert at creating vibrant, livable spaces in limited building footprints, Mosolino has received four HOBI Awards since 2010.
His work on the Pound Ridge clubhouse included the addition of permanent bathrooms, a full-service kitchen with new equipment, and men’s and women’s showers and small locker rooms. The breezeway between the building and temporary structure also was enclosed for additional comfort and privacy.
“We applaud Mark’s creativity and flexibility, and we’re elated that the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Connecticut recognized the scope and nuance of his work,” adds Ken Wang, owner of Pound Ridge Golf Club. “The new-look clubhouse provides our guests more options including showering or refreshing here at the course, and grabbing a bite to eat before, during or after a round.”
Other notable enhancements included floor, ceiling and window frame molding, chair rails and other fixtures. Extra features and equipment were added to create both elegance and permanence. Guests now have the choice of relaxing in the refreshed interior or outdoors on one of Pound Ridge’s two alfresco seating and gathering areas.
“My team is honored to win an award in HOBI’s hyper-competitive commercial category,” says Mosolino, owner of Mosolino Development. “Pound Ridge Golf Club is a part of this community, and we embraced the opportunity.”
Located in Westchester County and less than an hour drive from New York City, Pound Ridge provides golfers with a refreshing and modern course design option. Ranked No. 3 in-state by GOLF Magazine and No. 4 by Golfweek, Pound Ridge is a formidable challenge for accomplished players, with its 146 slope and 76.1 course rating from the back tees.

About Pound Ridge Golf Club
Opened in 2008, Pound Ridge Golf Club is the only course in New York designed by the legendary Pete Dye. Located in Westchester County, it is less than an hour north of New York City and less than 15 minutes from Stamford and Greenwich, Conn. Pound Ridge Golf Club is the premier high-end, public course in the metropolitan New York area.
Crafted by Dye, his son Perry and long-time Dye construction manager/lead shaper Michael Langkau, Pound Ridge Golf Club is a full bentgrass facility, hewn from 172 acres of magnificent cliffs, streams and wooded hills. Dramatic rock formations and boulders were left onsite, creating one of the most visually stunning settings for golf in the United States. More than 14,000-linear-feet of rock wall surround trees, wetlands and water hazards. These frame contoured fairways wind through hardwood forests and fescue mounds leading to open meadows with picturesque green complexes.
Fans of Dye will find all the legendary designer’s renowned touches on display: dramatic mounding, rhythmic routing and subtle deception meld to create an imminently challenging and fair golf experience. Pound Ridge Golf Club reflects the best in contemporary course design and is unique in a region filled with classic courses.
The par-72 Pound Ridge Golf Club measures 7,165 yards and houses five sets of tees. It boasts a practice range, short game area and putting green. The property features some of the highest points in Westchester County, with a number of tee boxes offering expansive vistas of the surrounding countryside. Notable holes include the par-5, 13th – home to “Pete’s Rock,” a giant boulder that rests in the middle of the fairway – and the par-3 15th – dubbed “Headstone” – which is flanked on the right by a large rock outcropping that protrudes into the elongated, 9,000-square-foot green.
