(July 13, 2017) The Ocean Pines Association recently made progress toward renovation to the second floor of the Ocean Pines Golf Club.
The second level will significantly improve the building’s accessibility, upgrade its amenities and bring a number of other improvements to the building, which dates back to the early 1970s.
“We’re hoping to hit a hole-in-one with construction work to the entrance and second floor of the facility, which are progressing well,” Marketing and Public Relations Director Denise Sawyer said. “The Ocean Pines Public Works Department is working to complete phase two of the Golf Club project. Most of the interior construction work, within this phase, will take place on the second level, where banquet and wedding services are offered to residents and guests.”
The second level is getting a floor-to-ceiling makeover. The reconfiguration project is adding a number of meeting rooms, a 60-seat boardroom, a restored outside deck, a new deck addition, handicap accessible ramps and a large banquet/dining area.
The project presents the opportunity to improve the banquet experience at Ocean Pines Golf Club, while accommodating meetings for community organizations and committees. The Association’s Food and Beverage Director Brian Townsend will be able to offer the Ocean Pines Golf Club as a venue for smaller corporate and/or company parties as well as other special events, like budget-conscious weddings.
“Whether it’s an exchange of vows or a company holiday party, we will soon be able to make special memories at our Golf Club, overlooking the gorgeous links,” Townsend said.
The building continues to get much-needed attention from the Board of Directors. The Ocean Pines Association (OPA) Board of Directors agreed during a 2016 board meeting to replace the roof of the clubhouse. The roof had a history of leaks because of improperly mounted heating, ventilation and air conditioning units, and required immediate work.
Construction on Ocean Pines Golf Club, originally named Seabright and later Ocean Pines Golf & Country Club, began in 1970. Robert Trent Jones Sr. was hired to design the course.
It officially opened on June 5, 1972, making it one of the earliest courses in the Ocean City area. Golfing greats Billy Casper, Dean Beman, Marty West and Bob Haley were the inaugural foursome and participated in a special celebrity match that day.
Today, Ocean Pines Golf Club, with its classic Robert Trent Jones design, challenges golfers just as it did in 1972. It is, as originally envisioned, open to the public year-round and offers annual memberships for those wishing to make it their home course.
