The majority of golf clubhouses are couched in traditional and conservative architecture concepts. However, a championship golf course at Sanctuary Cove on the Gold Coast in Australia is departing from contemporary golf architecture norms. The Sanctuary clubhouse features include an undulating floating roof system that mimics the unique course layout of The Pines. Full height, glazed glass walls provide natural lighting and uninterrupted views while the clubhouse’s two main pavilions feature an exterior rock wall that blend with the environment and create a building form that is fully integrated with its surroundings. The price tag for the construction was upwards of 12 million dollars and the Sanctuary was named the number 1 clubhouse in Australia. It will be interesting to see if any clubs in the states move away from the contemporary clubhouse style to a modern look.
