Phase one consists of the expansion and renovation to the existing Halfway House. Provisions are made allowing golf course operations to continue, uninterrupted, during the demolition and construction period. The parking area beneath the Conference Center is converted to transitional golf cart storage and a temporary Pro Shop, Caddy Shack and cart staging area remain in operation as the 2014 RBC PGA Heritage takes place between phase one and phase two of construction.


Phase two includes complete demolition to the existing structure and construction of the larger more luxurious Clubhouse, which is located within the same footprint. The stunning three-story structure houses a golf cart garage and storage, Pro Shop, men’s and women’s locker rooms, restaurant, private dining, toilet rooms, kitchen, back of house operations, and multi-function rooms.
The Clubhouse is built within two inches of the existing Conference Center, allowing the Clubhouse kitchen to poke-through to the Conference Center corridors and kitchen, which creates convenient and operational efficiency. The adjacent Conference Center receives an exterior façade renovation to match the Clubhouse.
On the heels of the 2014 RBC Heritage Tournament, and the 2015 tournament now less than one year way, Choate made a commitment to demolish the existing clubhouse and build a new, much larger, clubhouse facility in time for the 2015 tournament. According to the PGA TOUR, demolition and construction of a host clubhouse had never been accomplished in less than 12 months and between two annual PGA TOUR events. Choate rose to the challenge and made history.
