Aspen Lakes is building a clubhouse

Soon to be a permanent $3 million fixture in a setting of mountains, green grass, and tall pines, the new Aspen Lakes Golf Course clubhouse is intended to complement its surroundings.

The 26,000-square-foot building will have three floors. Golfers and guests will enter through an east-facing main entrance. On the main floor will be a restaurant facing the Three Sisters. The restaurant will consist of a dining room, bar and an informal grill. Adjacent to the restaurant will be the pro shop.

The upper floor of the new lodge is reserved for office space, while the basement will be used for storage.

Matt Cyrus, part owner of family-owned Aspen Lakes, said that the building in its general appearance would fit with the Sisters area and have a “lodge look.” The new clubhouse will open its doors to the public by March 2006, according to Cyrus.

Architect John Ralston of Portland drew the plans for the new clubhouse and builders R & H Construction Company of Bend built the foundation forms.

Aspen Lakes is located at Highway 126 and Camp Polk Road.
