As part of what Alpine president Robert Hershan terms "our long-term vision for the club, our members can look forward to a traditionally styled clubhouse with modern amenities." The new facility, replacing an existing one, is designed as a traditional northeastern stone-clad early 20th century manor home, "so as to be architecturally consistent with many of the homes in the surrounding Bergen County area."
Alpine Country Club has also hired MAST Construction Services of Little Falls as the owner's rep for the project, with that firm's Lee Karlin serving as project executive. Construction is being done by Weitz Golf International of North Palm Beach, FL. Peacock & Lewis Architects, also of North Palm Beach, designed the facility, and the Atlanta-based Image Design Inc. is doing the interiors.
Besides its locker room and steam room facilities, the new building will also have two kitchens and a dining room capacity of 300. Also part of the project are five new tennis courts, a new swimming pool complex and a playground.
Originally opened in 1931 as Aldecress Country Club, Alpine Country Club sits on 200 acres northwest of New York City. Its centerpiece golf course was one of the first designed by noted golf architect A.W. Tillinghast, whose design principles were based on such courses at St. Andrew's in Scotland. It was voted 'Club of the Year' in the New York metro area for 2006 by the Metropolitan Golf Writers Association.
