Nebraska City's ArborLinks To Add Cottages Among Renovations
ArborLinks, a private destination 18-hole golf club in Nebraska City, has officially broken ground on a clubhouse renovation. The project will involve the construction of a sizable addition on the east side of the existing structure, followed by a renovation of the existing clubhouse to connect the two facilities and complete the project with as little disruption to the remainder of the 2018 season as possible. The announcement comes amid several ongoing projects, including the installation of an on-course comfort station and the construction of additional cottages, both of which commenced this spring.
ArborLinks has completed a number of course improvements over the course of the year, including a bridge replacement, the installation of capillary concrete liners in bunkers, and an upgrade to its golf cart fleet. Noteworthy equipment investments include an Air2G2 hydrostatic probe air injection machine as well as a Wiedenmann Terra Spike XF8 aeration and soil decompaction machine, both of which will facilitate upcoming course maintenance initiatives. This spring, the private destination golf club also began construction on five additional four-plex cottages, more than doubling its current on-site accommodations. Meanwhile, construction has begun on an on-course comfort station between three green and four tee.
ArborLinks is also working alongside the Arbor Day Foundation, which operates the adjacent Arbor Day Farm, a recreational space that sprawls 260 acres and includes Lied Lodge & Conference Center. The club will install an approximately one-mile pathway connecting the two properties, making the Arbor Day Farm's many corporate and family amenities more accessible.
ArborLinks is one of multiple clubs that comprise Dormie Network, a national network of premier destination clubs. Membership to ArborLinks is available in three categories: local, national, and corporate. While local membership is currently available by waitlist only and corporate membership is nearing its cap, national membership is available. All three classifications include complete access to and full member privileges at every Dormie Network club.
Capital improvement projects are also at various stages of planning and construction at clubs across the network. The construction of on-site lodging is underway at Briggs Ranch Golf Club in San Antonio and in the planning stages at Dormie Club in Pinehurst. Roanoke, Virginia's Ballyhack Golf Club currently has a maintenance facility under construction and numerous other projects are in the works.
