The Yards continues to be more than just golf, tennis or pickleball, but instead strives to be a social hub for the community, and they took that a step further with the introduction of its latest new event space called the “Greenhouse.”
An open house was held for the Greenhouse on March 27 and 28, where members of the community were able to tour the 4,000 square-feet of air-conditioned indoor space as well as 3,000 square-feet of covered patio and outdoor space accompanied by views of its golf course.
According to Anna Washington, director of sales and events, the goal behind the new event center is to be able to host any occasion from weddings to corporate gatherings, charity galas and everything in between.
“We definitely just want to be a center for the community and be a place where everyone can just come and have fun, spend time with there family and friends and celebrate anything that’s going on in their lives,” said, Avery White, with marketing communications at The Yards.”
The space used to be an old maintenance facility used by The Yards, but when a new maintenance facility was built on Solana Road, the space was available for an upgrade and a major one took place indeed.
It is definitely safe to say that the days of the structure being used to store maintenance equipment is far in the rearview, as it has completely been revamped.
“I’m not sure who had the amazing idea, but transforming the existing building has been something really cool to watch take place,” Washington said.
One of the common opinions gathered from the open house is the appreciation from those who attended of the combination of both indoor and outdoor space, which offers so many options for an event taking place and allows for weather to not be as big of a factor in whether an event is a success or not.
“We also have A/C and heaters, so no matter the time of year, you can host your event comfortably either inside or out,” White said. “We have mobile bars so people will be able to be served from anywhere in the space. We definitely love that versatility.”
The size of the venue space also allows for its share of flexibility as the combination of indoor and outdoor space presents the ability to host an array of large gatherings to more quaint sizes while still feeling intimate and not too spacious.
“We’ve hosted about 300 (people) already, so we like to say we can host about 350-plus,” Washington said.
Some of the bar staff was on hand during the open house as attendees were given samples of some of their alcoholic beverage offerings.
“We can do all in-house bartending and beverage services, so their bar packages are always through us, which is always really convenient for people hosting because it’s one less thing they have to think out,” White said.
