New clubhouse will expand dining and event capabilities, introduce an indoor teaching studio with four golf simulators, and support year-round play and community use
Warminster, PA. – Spirit Golf Management, a division of The Sports Facilities Companies (SFC), and a leading provider of golf management services, today announced a $25 million new clubhouse construction project at Five Ponds Golf Club (Warminster Township, PA), one of the premier municipal golf facilities in the region.
The 27,000-square-foot clubhouse is designed to elevate the overall experience for golfers, event guests and visitors to the Bucks County facility. The new clubhouse will feature an event space accommodating up to 250 guests for banquets, weddings, parties and other gatherings, along with a 1,400-square-foot pro shop offering golf equipment, apparel and accessories. Multiple kitchens will support both the event space and the new bar and grill, improving food-and-beverage service and operational efficiency. The event space and restaurant will each feature a large, covered patio, creating additional options for outdoor dining, private gatherings and smaller group events.
Golf operations are expected to continue throughout construction, with tee times, league play, golf instruction and player-development programs remaining available. A temporary tented hospitality space, supported by a bar and kitchen trailer, will provide food-and-beverage service for golfers, practice-facility patrons and outing participants during the project.
Municipal golf continues to play an increasingly important role in making the game accessible to local communities. According to the National Golf Foundation, the number of municipally owned and operated golf courses has increased by 7% since 2006. At the beginning of 2026, nearly 3,000 municipal golf courses were operating at more than 2,600 facilities—the highest totals on record.
“This project reflects our shared commitment with Warminster Township to enhance an already exceptional municipal golf facility,” said Mike Attara, president of Spirit Golf Management. “The new clubhouse will expand the ways Five Ponds serves golfers and the broader community while positioning the facility for long-term success.”
One of the project’s highlights will be an indoor teaching studio featuring four golf simulators and private seating. The space will support recreational play, special events, advanced club fitting and year-round instruction led by PGA Professionals.
Five Ponds Golf Club is home to an 18-hole championship golf course with a picturesque layout highlighted by five spectacular water features throughout the golf course. The signature hole is the scenic Par-3 17th where golfers hit over water to a beautifully contoured green complex.
To complement the Championship layout, Five Ponds Golf Club is equipped with a full-service practice facility, including a three-hole short course and practice area. Home to the Spirit Golf Academy, the facility offers a full line-up of player-development programs for golfers of all ages and levels and is home to a vibrant junior golf program with more than 200 participants annually.
Owned by Warminster Township (PA) and managed by Spirit Golf Management Powered by SFC, Five Ponds demonstrates how a public-private partnership can strengthen a municipal golf facility, enhance the guest experience and create lasting value for the community.
“This new clubhouse represents a major investment into the future of Five Ponds Golf Club and the community we proudly serve,” said Kenneth Hayes, chairman of the Warminster Township Board of Supervisors. “We are creating a modern, welcoming destination that will elevate the experience for golfers, families, and visitors while strengthening Five Ponds as a premier recreational and community asset.”
