The third phase of the Mistwood Golf Club’s renovation program is moving along.

While our winter has been dragging along, the new clubhouse has slowly been going up. these are the latest photos of the project.

The Mistwood golf club has been going through a renovation for a few seasons now. Owner Jim McWethy made a commitment to excellence and has been doing it in three phases. Once he became the owner of Mistwood, McWethy started by recalling golf architect Ray Hearn the original architect of Mistwood to upgrade the golf course. Once the golf course was redone, Phase 2 was the construction of the Mistwood Performance Center.

The New Mistwood Clubhouse will actually be two buildings.

Currently Mistwood operations is running from the Performance Center, that has one of the best dinning area’s you will find at any golf club in Chicago.

Golfers have been enjoying their favorite beverages at the big bar that sits only a few feet from the back of the tee line on the driving range.

Phase Three was the demolition of the old clubhouse that no longer had a design that fit with the rest of the golf course. As a result the upgrade that will Mistwood a clubhouse that will serve the clubs guests on multiple fronts.

The clubhouse coming out of the snow piles that hit the area last weekend.

The clubhouse will have an Irish themed pub, complete with a full menu and plenty of beverages. A full sized pro shop will be part of the facility, other area’s include offices for the staff and banquet room.

Mistwood will now be able to store it’s golf carts underground and out of the outdoor elements.

The date for completion is not yet known, and McWethy is hoping that last weekend’s storm will not put construction way behind schedule. But there is plenty snow that workers have had to clear to continue work. Golfers on Golf will continue to follow the progress of the new clubhouse at Mistwood.
