1215 ROYAL SAINT GEORGE DR . ARIA GROUP
Cress Creek Golf Course in Naperville stands out for its robust infrastructure and ongoing investment in quality facilities. The property spans over 120 acres and includes not only a championship 18-hole course but also multiple support buildings such as maintenance facilities, a spray barn, and a pump house for irrigation The maintenance building alone covers 7,000sqft, providing ample room for equipment storage, repairs, and supply management Recent years have brought significant improvements to both the course and amenities, reflecting a high standard set by the club for its members
We benefited from clear organization designated storage, professional staff, and well-structured maintenance plans are standard The club’s steady schedule of upgrades, from the redesigned clubhouse to revamped aquatics and tennis areas, makes it a rewarding site for trades. Attention to site access and operational safety is also paramount, given the yearround activity and member exclusivity.
MEDINAH
This was a prestigious project defined by both scale and meticulous attention to detail Contractors worked on an extensive 120,000 sqft historic clubhouse, three championship-level courses, and ongoing upgrades across its facilities. Renovations often required preserving original architectural features, such as handpainted ceilings, custom millwork, and ornate ironwork, while updating core infrastructure, including mechanical, electrical, and fire protection systems. Work was coordinated around active club operations, which demanded careful scheduling and safety protocols Projects included constructing a state-of-the-art Golf Learning Center, modernizing locker rooms, renovating dining and event spaces, and updating outdoor terraces Large-scale site access, tight deadlines, and member expectations for minimal disruption made the job both challenging and rewarding for skilled trades and construction professionals
NAPERVILLE
The Naperville Country Club clubhouse underwent a significant renovation beginning in 2021, with a $2 7 million project led by architect Steven Weiss of Weiss Architecture, Chicago This was the first major clubhouse upgrade in over 40 years, as the existing clubhouse was originally built in 1949 after the original 1927 clubhouse was destroyed by fire in 1948 The renovation focused on modernizing all food and beverage areas, including a newly designed kitchen, updated dining rooms, renovated locker rooms, new flooring and fixtures, and adding floor-to-ceiling windows to enhance the space The goal was to bring the clubhouse facilities up to par with the quality of the golf course and overall club experience. The renovation was completed around April 2022, providing members with a sleek, modern clubhouse interior to complement the award-winning golf and amenities at the club.

Construction included upgrades to dining areas, the bar, and lounge, along with enhancements to locker rooms and event spaces Mechanical and electrical systems were improved to increase efficiency and comfort, supporting long-term use Working within an active golf facility, we coordinated closely with staff to minimize disruption and maintain a safe site
