Eagle Creek's clubhouse....
A strangely recurring theme....
Was speaking with a golfer this week about the nice courses around town, and was surprised to hear this comment recur.... The eyesore at Eagle Creek has been there a long time, it looks great from far away, but there is NO clubhouse. People don't talk about how interesting the 14th hole is, or how they played the 18th, or whether they appreciated the paving stone paths.... they just talk about what a tragedy the clubhouse is...
Does anybody agree that a real clubhouse should be built? Does anybody agree that the course deserves it? Does anybody agree that the owners could easily afford it and that it would only serve to attract more revenue to the course... at least in hospitality, if not additional greens fees?

hmm.... on the contrary...

I think you feel that Mr Lacasse has all the money in the world to spend on it.
No, I didn't say that, and I don't think that at all. I understand money rather well, and assets, liabilities and debt load. Of course, Mr. Lacasse won't be sharing his balance sheets with us, so I doubt our or my second guessing can ever be validated.
I just think that the return on investment from the clubhouse would have been higher than some of the other priorities/renovations, and that the improvement in the aesthetics would make it a lock.
