The Old American Announces Opening of the Carriage House

Building blends territorial design, modern amenities

(THE COLONY, Tex.) - The Old American Golf Club - a GOLF Magazine and Golfweek "Best New" selection in 2010 - today announces the opening of The Carriage House, serving as a check-in location and social venue for golfers.

The Carriage House blends territorial design and modern amenities to create a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. The building was modeled after clubhouses from the 'Golden Age' of golf course architecture (1911-1937), the time period that inspired The Old American's layout.

"Stepping into The Carriage House feels like you're visiting an old friend," says Geraldine Doran, director of sales. "It's a place golfers can feel comfortable hanging out, having a drink and exchanging good-natured banter."

The Old American's new cart fleet is stored at The Carriage House. All carts are equipped with Visage GPS, providing golfers with precise yardages as they navigate the course. Golfers can place custom food and beverage orders through the GPS and have them delivered directly to their cart.

Since opening in September, The Old American has garnered an impressive list of accolades, including being the only Metroplex course in Golfweek's top 10 "Best Courses You Can Play" in Texas and "Best New" from GOLF Magazine, LINKS Magazine, Golfweek and AVID Golfer.
