Broadmoor Golf

The Broadmoor Golf Maintenance Facility was constructed out of the need from the golf maintenance staff to have a larger facility centrally located between the two 18-hole championship golf courses at the five-star Broadmoor Hotel and Resort. The existing facilities were outdated, in an inconvenient location, and did not accommodate enough equipment storage to service 36 holes. The replacement buildings allowed for a more organized maintenance program.The project consists of three separate buildings located between the west and east courses of the Broadmoor. A natural clearing between a road and fairway allowed for an appropriate central location to service the courses. These separate buildings house the golf administration staff, maintenance and repair, and wash facilities. Separation of the buildings made sense due to the vastly different functions of each building, and a large grade change of more than 80 feet across the site. Due to a vast quantity of mature trees existing in the area, each building was placed into the hillside in such a way as to blend into the landscape and preserve the integrity of the site features with minimal disturbance. The design team and the golf staff were sensitive of not allowing the project to detract from the golfing experience. All final landscaping was completed by the owner and integrated into the golf course landscaping vocabulary.The administration building features offices for the superintendent, horticulturist, assistant superintendents and a large meeting/lunch area for the employees. The maintenance building comprises a large storage bay for all equipment required to service the courses. Separate rooms are equipped with the two bays with equipment lifts, machining room, office/locker area, and parts storage. The wash building incorporates a unique recycled wash system for the equipment.CMU walls of the wash building repel and protect from the large amounts of moisture from the wash process. www.dcd.com Aerial video of a country club in Seattle, WA by TUK Productions
