The clubhouse that exists now at Algodon Wine Estates will be getting a major construction overhaul and will eventually include locker-rooms, more dining space, a second floor dining terrace, and an integrated golf and tennis pro shop. As I mentioned a while ago, the area will also include a large pool, which I’m sure estate residents will appreciate given San Rafael’s 300 days of annual sunshine.
On his most recent visit to the estate, José Luis Clerc suggested creating the courts in two phases, which will include a center court stadium as well as 6 additional clay courts, 3 hard courts, and 1 grass court. (I’ll include a preliminary rendering in the next post.) The mini-stadium, which will be lowered for unobstructed panoramic views from above, as well as from the clubhouse restaurant’s second-story dining terrace, is based on an “in-ground” design from a popular tennis club in Monaco. The entire area will be surrounded by an olive orchard that is nearly 50 years old. It’s quite beautiful.
The above photo is the inspiration for the in-ground stadium design at the future Algodon Wine Estates Tennis Center.
The tennis courts should be in and ready for play by May, 2009. Tennis anyone?
