EVANS, GA – Champions Retreat, a revered private golf club located just outside of Augusta, GA – and the only club in the world featuring three individually designed courses by Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus – is scheduled to unveil a brand new 10,000 + sq. ft. Party Barn during the week of The Masters in April 2016.
Inspired by the Arcadian sensibilities that currently embody Champions Retreat, the Party Barn celebrates the simple, honest and rustic charm of the property. Ideal for a wide range of events from corporate retreats, distinguished meetings, private banquets, watch parties and luxurious weddings, the addition to the already distinctive property will accommodate more than 400 people and encompass four entertaining areas including an expansive great room, a versatile private dining room, an elegant bridal/green room and stately lounge. In true Champions Retreat style, the Party Barn will be adorned with memorabilia paying tribute to the three legends that designed the property, and the rich history they have contributed to the game of golf.
“The idea behind the Party Barn is multi-faceted,” said Cameron Wiebe, General Manager and Host of Champions Retreat. “We looked at areas we could enhance the club experience and with our passion for hospitality, felt an entertainment facility capable of catering to a variety of events would be ideal. From sophisticated weddings, black tie affairs and intimate wine dinners to corporate gatherings and casual parties with dancing, blue-jeans and our signature BBQ, the Party Barn will truly be a unique facility in the Southeast area and a top destination for weddings.”
The Party Barn will offer meeting, event and wedding planners an all-inclusive venue, with authentic rough sawn pine walls, rustic dining tables, plush leather couches and upholstered chairs, ornate chandeliers and a grand fireplace that all evoke the true Southern charm that Champions Retreat embraces. A gourmet full-service catering kitchen and comprehensive A/V capabilities add to the amenities that enable Champions Retreat to customize the Party Barn experience to match the specific needs of their clientele, from intimate gatherings to large groups. The Party Barn is a result of Heritage Golf Group’s ongoing commitment to exploring possibilities and providing creative hospitality experiences. It will stand as another incredible asset for Champions Retreat, its members and guests.
