allowing us to maintain some level of food services to the
membership, dependent upon DHEC regulation, safety and
construction needs.
• The 19th hole will remain open.
• We will offer sandwiches, limited hot food items, soups and salads.
• We will use the Recreation Center kitchen and operations whenever
possible, when not interfering with other daily activities (luncheons,
dinners, in-house functions).

interfering with their daily operations.

24. Tara Clubhouse Renovation
Renovation Overview:
• Current Tara Dining Room is dated
• SLV must put forth a great first-impression to visiting perspective new residents.
• Perception of “old and dated” will not appeal to the younger group of baby
boomers.
• Tara does not compete well with other communities new retirees are
previewing.
• The main dining room is largely under-utilized
• Maintaining operations in the current 19th Hole is very inefficient
• The 19th Hole is on many occasions crowded resulting in lower food service
sales and unsatisfactory dining experience.
• Tara’s current configuration does not facilitate smaller group event usage – by
either SLV members or outside organizations.
25. Tara Clubhouse Renovation
Major Focus of Changes:
• Renovated dining room will be used for all dining venues
• A new bar and adjacent wait station will provide for more effective service to diners
as well as allowing better over site of wait staff.
• Shorter order delivery routes allowing more staff on floor to serve customers.
• Having a larger area with a bar in one end provides separation between typical
golfer 19th Hole activities and allows non-golfer member dining at the same time.
• A new cart turn-a-round will provide golfers with quick convenient access for bar
service when making the turn.
• Dining room will be brighter and more open with removal of drapes, chandeliers,
and reduced columns. New paint, carpet and tile to provide a modern, updated
appearance.
• Refresh 19th Hole with new carpet to accommodate over-flow events, separate
small functions such as card games, meetings, and normal member services when
main dining room is used for special events.
