Olson will provide pre construction and general contracting services for the renovation. The existing double A-frame shell, which was built in the 1960s, will remain intact, while the building’s core including the locker rooms, kitchen, and dining hall will be completely reconstructed. The addition of a pro shop and snack bar also are planned. The exterior, too, will undergo renovation with a new roof, paint and large glass windows that overlook the golf course. Remodeling costs will total $3 million.

"We will modernize the facility, yet retain its earthly flavor so it blends well with its mountainous environment,” said Dennis Reyling, president, R.D. Olson Construction. The Irvine-based firm of MDR Architects designed the 17,000-square-foot country club using oak wood, rock and warm-toned décor throughout.

Lake Arrowhead Country Club is the owner. Construction is scheduled to begin in September 2002 with a completion date set for May 2003.
