Oklahoma City, Okla. – Tom Hoch, one of the leading design-build firms, has been selected for clubhouse renovations at Glen Oaks Country Club, the premier private club in West Des Moines, Iowa.

Using its proprietary “revenue-based” design model, Tom Hoch’s redesign will include space planning improvements speaking to both member enjoyment and improved operational efficiency. Existing interior spaces will be rearranged and “right-sized” into comfortable, connected spaces that have an engaging sense of flow and ease of transition, thus inviting social interaction among members. Interior design enhancements will reflect the contemporary lifestyles of today’s membership with appropriate elements of style that comfort and inspire each member as they come and go.

“Very soon, the members at Glen Oaks will be treated to a new and exceptionally exciting club experience,” says Hoch. “This renovation truly breaks the mold of traditional clubhouse programming and design with innovative interior design changes creatively woven into new and expanded social and culinary venues. For those seeking the best in club living, Glen Oaks will be the new standard bearer.”

“Tom Hoch’s resume is filled with memorable, engaging clubhouse interiors around the world,” says Bill Kirkendall, general manager. “We look forward to a renovation that gives each member unrivaled amenities in a comfortable and inviting setting. Tom Hoch’s ability to provide a turn-key design and build solution will ensure a timely and cost-effective renovation aligned with the design and quality expectations of both Glen Oaks and Tom Hoch.”

Featuring an 18-hole Tom Fazio golf course, Glen Oaks Country Club has garnered the reputation as one of the region’s finest private clubs since it was founded in 1991. Glen Oaks’ mission is to provide an unprecedented level of golf, social and dining services.

Other recent U.S. and internationally-based Tom Hoch projects include: The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain (Marana, Arizona); The Members’ Golf Club at The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota (Florida); Farm Links Golf Club (Alabama); Renaissance Golf Club (Massachusetts); TPC Valencia (California); Zavidovo Golf and Lake Resort (Russia); and Tulsa Country Club (Oklahoma); multiple projects with Troon Golf; Apes Hill Club (Barbados); and The Abaco Club (Bahamas).
