Howerton-designed Brynwood Golf Club celebrates ribbon cutting

Brynwood Golf & Country Club celebrated the completion of its renovated clubhouse with a grand opening reception held June 10th and attended by 400 people including local officials, news media and Brynwood members. The crowd feasted on cuisine prepared by Brynwood's executive chef Jean-Marc Cabirol while dancing to Beatles music performed by Strawberry Fields of the Broadway hit Beatlemania. "Tonight's celebration is yet another important milestone as we move forward in establishing Brynwood Golf & Country Club as the country club of choice for area residents and families looking for outstanding golf and tennis, world-class facilities, first-rate food and beverage and a host of amenities and programs for the entire family," said Donald DeMasters, General Manager of Brynwood Golf & Country Club. "The response we've received from the area community in the past few months has been truly phenomenal. With the completion of our newly renovated Clubhouse, we anticipate a significant increase in activity for our weddings, bar/bat mitzvah and special events business," DeMasters said. North Castle town supervisor William Weaver said, "We are very pleased to celebrate today's grand opening of Brynwood Golf & County Club. The transformation and resurgence of Brynwood into a first-class facility is great news for the entire community." Formerly known as the Canyon Club, the 160-acre property was acquired last December by new owners who renamed it Brynwood Golf & Country Club and hired Troon Golf to professionally manage the Club. Brynwood's new owners embarked on a multi-million dollar phased improvement plan, which included renovations to the 65,000 s/f clubhouse by architect Hart Howerton, who has designed clubhouses at Westhampton Country Club, Atlantic Golf Course, and Sebonack Golf Club. The clubhouse features a new lobby and ballroom. There is also an outdoor cocktail terrace overlooking the redesigned pool area, golf course and surrounding hills. The clubhouse also features a business center, a fitness center and a children's game room.
