Tellico Village
rebuilding clubhouse at Tanasi Country Club after 2022
fire
TELLICO VILLAGE, Tenn. (WATE) — In 2022, the Tanasi Country Club’s main building was destroyed after a kitchen fire. Now just over two years later, the Tellico Village Property Owners’ Association officially broke ground on a new clubhouse.
The total cost
for the new clubhouse is set to be about $11.5
million dollars. This will cover the cost of
construction, insurance, parking, landscaping,
design plans and more. The association added that
building will have a new modern design to keep up
with the times.
“It’s incredibly, great opportunity
for us to capitalize on some of our weaknesses in
the old building, but also get some state of the art
opportunities within the new clubhouse. And we’re
really excited to get the project going,” said Casey
Flenniken the Director of Golf Operations.
He added, “Golf operations is as busy
as we’ve ever been so, it’s going to really be a
great chance for us to have a bigger golf shop
space, a bigger restaurant, more indoor and outdoor
seating, a bigger car storage space for our golf
operations team. Overall, just a better experience
for everybody.”
The team has been able to unlock the
full potential of the peninsula, finding innovative
ways to transform the area that the building will be
on.
“There’s
been mixed feelings. But, I think, people are
generally very in favor of it. They miss having
the facility here and the entertainment, the
eating opportunities,” said John Orr a member of
the Tellico Village POA Board of Directors.
“It was very exciting because it’s been a long time coming. We’ve all been working on this for the last two plus years. It’s been a long process, but I think the process has delivered an end result that we’re hoping meets everybody’s needs,” Orr added. The construction is projected to take somewhere between 12 to 14 months. |
