Stand-Alone
Golf Academy
|
“Our
goal with aspirational capital projects is to make a ‘WOW’ type impact
on the membership,” said Lake Toxaway Country Club EVP/COO John
Schoenbeck. “We were successful this season in doing that with the
addition of the Toptracer Golf Academy, ‘The Nest’ and the new Firestone
Grille patio. In addition to the obvious benefit of being able to use these
new attractions, providing them has brought positive energy and ‘pride
of club’ to the membership as well as to our employees.”
The
all-new Golf Academy, located at the Tom Fazio Learning Center, opened
in May and is a full-service, comprehensive player development program
with swing analysis, custom golf club fitting services, training programs,
and golf instruction with Lake Toxaway Country Club’s PGA professionals.
The Golf Academy includes a lounge, restroom, an office, a hitting bay
and three covered hitting stations. Toptracer Range captures and displays
all swing and ball-flight data on monitors in the building as well as on
a member’s digital device. Through Toptracer Range, members can also play
iconic courses, take aim at virtual targets, and compete against friends
or large groups. The Toptracer Range app stores individual club statistics
and shot data so members can monitor improvement over time.

The Nest Climbing Experience

The
Nest opened in June and is the club’s newest youth and adult amenity. The
Nest offers access to a 30-foot climbing wall with three different climbs
using an automated belay system. A 30-foot tower can be ascended and descended
using netting and poles with a covered observation deck on top. From the
top of the observation deck there are five at height obstacles that participants
can traverse from pole to pole. Supervised by professionals, participants
of all skill levels and comfort levels are encouraged to participate and
