Raleigh-based McConnell Golf purchased the Charlotte club in 2016. It is currently wrapping up the first phase of renovations totaling $1.3 million out of a $4-million capital improvement project.
RALEIGH, NC (April 2017) – Located in southeast Charlotte, Providence Country Club was established in 1989 and has earned a reputation as Charlotte’s premier family country club.
In early 2016, McConnell Golf purchased Providence CC. The private club ownership company immediately announced that it would spend the next few years not only renovating PCC’s golf course using a well-known architect, but also providing numerous other substantial improvements around the club.
Work is currently being completed on McConnell Golf’s first phase at Providence CC, which totaled $1.3 million. Working with Edifice General Contractors and Redline Architects, the project included the reversal of locations between the Providence CC Fitness Center and the Golf Shop. The transition has doubled the size of the Fitness Center and completely renovated the Golf Shop.
In addition, Providence CC now has a new bag-drop location and cart staging area, while the entire back lawn of the clubhouse was re-landscaped. Lastly, McConnell Golf added an all-new “Providence Playhouse” activity center. Eventually the total value of the PCC renovation will exceed $4 million.
PCC’s extensive amenities include 14 tennis courts and state-of-the-art aquatic facilities with three swimming pools, as well as a newly constructed outdoor bar and dining area with a fire pit. PCC’s pristine 18-hole, Dan Maples layout, redesigned in 2006 by Mike Gleason, measures 7,021 yards and plays to a par of 72.
Since its inception in 2003, McConnell Golf has bolstered its bourgeoning reputation in the golf industry by investing significantly in improvements and upgrades at its clubs. McConnell Golf is currently overseeing renovation and restoration work totaling approximately $7.3 million at four of its clubs around the Carolinas and Tennessee.
With the additions last year of Providence CC and Holston Hills Country Club in Knoxville, Tenn., McConnell Golf now owns a dozen 18-hole, private golf courses plus one nine-hole course around the Southeast. Meanwhile, McConnell Golf has added two new national memberships to its attractive menu of affordable, cutting-edge offerings.
“McConnell Golf is focused on building clubs of the future,” said McConnell Golf Chief Operating Officer Christian Anastasiadis. “There is one reason we are in business – members. Attracting members through a quality and value experience, and retaining members via a sustainable product that they always want to be part of.”
