Collindale was renovated with a vision of offering a “country club” atmosphere on a public course. We began by demolishing the existing clubhouse (built in 1970) to make room for a full-service restaurant and full-service men’s and women’s locker rooms. Other additions included an expanded parking lot and underground golf cart parking. This was an extremely tight site. The course remained open throughout the project. Drahota accomodated by using multiple phases and locations for parking lots and cart paths.

Weekly meetings were held on the jobsite to keep the communication lines clear and open between four different entities: The City of Fort Collins, City Golf Manager, Collindale Staff, and Braun’s Restaurant. Everyone had to communicate effectively to ensure an overall consistency in construction. “Drahota’s onsite management team was very competent, courteous, and most importantly I found them well organized,” Jerry Brown, Manager, Golf Division of the City of Ft. Collins. This project placed 2nd for a national architectural award of new public courses in 2003.
