COUNTRY CLUB ARCHITECTURE + RENOVATIONS
Designing for Tomorrow’s Membership
ELM is a multidisciplinary architecture, landscape architecture and master planning firm with extensive experience in country club renovations and private club design. From historic clubhouse renovations and expansions to new aquatics, dining, wellness, racquet and golf amenities, ELM helps clubs develop long-range plans and implement phased improvements that enhance the member experience.
Thoughtful Design. Enduring Value.
Every club has its own legacy and culture. ELM’s approach begins with listening—to boards, general managers, and members—to uncover what makes each place unique. Our team then integrates architecture, interiors, and landscape architecture into a cohesive vision that aligns with operations, sustainability, and capital strategy.
Our projects are defined by:
Distinctive architecture that celebrates regional character and heritage.
Purposeful planning that supports membership growth and evolving programming.
Connected outdoor environments that extend hospitality and social life beyond the clubhouse.
Efficient, revenue-driven design solutions for food & beverage, wellness, racquet, and aquatics facilities.

Across the Southeast and beyond, ELM has helped leading private clubs redefine the member experience through design that reflects today’s expectations while preparing for tomorrow’s opportunities.
