Excellence in Architecture
Creekside Golf Course Clubhouse
Modesto, California

The Clubhouse at the Creekside Golf Course is owned and operated by the City of Modesto and serves as a public course. The raised facility begins dramatically in the catherdral main lobby that serves as a spine from front to back and locates the wings to take advantage of the golf course views, with the pro shop on one side and the dining and food service on the other. The peaked lattice porch and columns on the front and rear of the building extend the usable area of the facility to the outdoors, while unifying the facades and providing energy efficiency. The half round canopies flank the peaked lattice entries and are repeated inside at the pro shop and the dining area.
