Pinehurst Country Club Unveils Proposed $4.2M Pool Complex

Beach Boys music welcomed several hundred Pinehurst Resort & Country Club members to the public unveiling Friday of a proposed $4.2 million pool complex that officials believe will help the club grow and sustain its membership for decades.

We will now have amenities for everyone, said Jay Biggs, senior vice president of golf and club operations for Pinehurst. Weve got a lot of amenities, and they are almost second-to-none in the club world. This is another piece of our plan to focus on the country club part of our business.

The complex will be built on 1.28 acres next to the clubhouse that fronts the 18th green of Pinehurst No. 2. It includes an adult pool and nearby hot tub, a zero-entry family pool with a water slide and splash zones, cabanas, an indoor cafe, an open-air bar, a fire pit and an event lawn.

Members got a preview of the scale and scope of the project because club officials used blue paint to outline the pools, placed tents where the cabanas and buildings will be located, had a grill serving hamburgers and chicken at the cafe site, had a cash bar at the open-air bar space, and placed an inflatable slide in the water slide area.

Lounge chairs surrounded each pool, a lifeguard stand was placed by the adult pool, and chairs encircled the fire pit.

Its always neat when the members can visualize and get excited about it, Biggs said. Were ready to swim.

Karson Van Scoyoc, 10, and his younger brothers, Kenan and Kolton, got in the spirit by repeatedly going down the inflatable slide.

This is going to be awesome, Karson said. The water slide sounds super cool, and the pool is really big.

His grandmother, Karen Mamuzic, said she is looking forward to bringing the boys to the pool.

Its phenomenal, Mamuzic said. The boys are very excited.
