The Harvester Clubhouse

When you see the clubhouse poised nobly on the rolling hillside of The Harvester Golf Club, it is hard to discern whether the majestic building was built to keep up with the course, or whether the course was built as a package worthy of the clubhouse
and its restaurant, The View.

The facility blends beautifully with the countryside atmosphere of The Harvester Tournament Course and invites thoughts of an Iowa farmhouse. The clubhouse is the perfect facility for events of all kinds, one of the goals for designer Dick Shook.

"It was an arduous process—it took time to make the best use of the space, but the result is everywhere you look from the clubhouse is a simply beautiful view. The orientation of the building was perfect for the landscape," said Shook.

Dickson Jensen, owner and developer of The Harvester, knew Shook was more than perfect for the design task. "He's the best designer I know," said Jensen. "He has incredible vision and creativity. Nothing with Dick is ever average. From the clubhouse to all the homesteads, Dick knows the real meaning of the word 'custom'."

And Shook proved Jensen correct. The result is a farmhouse feel that's "quaint, comfortable, and so restful. Time slows way down when I'm there" said Shook.

While the 19,000 sq. ft. building includes a pro shop and locker rooms, the clubhouse also accommodates parties of all sizes—from a simple meal with the family to corporate meetings to the most elaborate of weddings. Complete with a 200-person ballroom and private dressing rooms for brides and grooms, the clubhouse plays host to several area events including high school proms, family reunions, society banquets and awards dinners.

Nearly one acre of patio space overlooks the Tournament Course and surrounding countryside. A view like that can almost make a golfer forget that brutal slice on the 15th hole.
