In the nearly 100 years since its founding, Meadowbrook Golf Course has seen its share of changes. Through floods, storm damage and frigid winters, the one constant has been the unrelenting support of the Twin Cities golf community. So, in 2016 when a burst pipe caused irreparable damage to the clubhouse, golfers and staff immediately began brainstorming what the future of the golf course and the clubhouse might look like. Fast forward five years and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) has teamed with HCM Architects to answer that question.
Working closely with MPRB which serves as both Owner and Landscape Architect, HCM and the design team of Loucks (Civil), BKBM (Structural) and Emanuelson Podas (MEP) have developed a conceptual scheme that looks to celebrate the rich history of Meadowbrook while looking well into the future. The compact yet flexible form will be made from durable, commodity materials that reflect the surrounding neighborhood. Relocating the clubhouse atop the hill also lends itself to future events where a large tent pad and outdoor vendor area are planned.
