The Road Back: Bellerive CC Pushes $19M Renovation to the Finish Line

The storied, 123-year-old club in St. Louis, Mo. began a flurry of improvement projects after hosting the 100th PGA Championship in August 2018 that have enhanced a full range of amenities for its membership, including golf, tennis and pickleball, fitness, and food-and-beverage service. In this episode, Club President Lisa Guirl, GM/COO Michael Chase and Assistant GM/Director of Grounds Carlos Arraya describe the hurdles that the pandemic presented as the timeline for finishing the projects neared its end, and how they were overcome to help Bellerive reach new levels of member usage—and spark strong interest among prospective members—even as operating restrictions were in place.
