Glazing Applications

Golf Club Glazing: Hospitality and Resorts

From heritage clubhouses to contemporary golf club glazing, IQ Projects supports architects with glazing strategies for clubhouses, ranges and hospitality buildings on golf developments, aligned to rigorous performance, coordination and programme requirements. We combine ultra slim sliding doors, structural glass and steel or steel look systems to frame fairway views, manage comfort and weathering, and deliver a calm, luxurious finish that matches your design intent and site constraints.

Glazing is often where guest experience, environmental control and circulation intersect in terms of golf club glazing. In lounges and dining rooms, large sliding openings with flush thresholds create clean connections to terraces and maintain sightlines from every seating tier. Event suites benefit from resilient façades with integrated drainage and detailing that performs quietly in exposed locations. Pro shops and receptions gain bright, secure frontages that feel welcoming throughout the year. At ranges and academies, durable façades and wind tolerant openings protect bays without cluttering the elevation. Where clubs include rooms or lodges, oversized sliders and frameless picture windows convert long views into a tangible asset while keeping acoustic and solar conditions in check. 

The Berkshire Golf Club, Ascot

A clubhouse refurbishment demonstrates how a coordinated golf club glazing package can upgrade member spaces on a tight programme. Seven minimal windows sliding door sets to key elevations are paired with coordinated entrances and EI30 fixed fire rated screens to deliver an elegant lounge to terrace transition with solar controlled comfort. Interfaces were rationalised for a live site, maintaining clear views across the course while simplifying weathering and maintenance. Design visuals shown.

Kingsway Golf Centre, Hertfordshire

For a busy range and hospitality venue the priority was robust operation without losing refinement. A three track all panes sliding screen forms the principal opening, supported by carefully positioned doors and fixed lights to complete the elevation. Finished in a deep neutral with dark hardware, the frontage reads as understated and contemporary while remaining easy to operate and clean, giving visitors an uninterrupted outlook across the bays and reducing staff intervention.

Feldon Valley Golf Club, Cotswolds

Across the clubhouse and adjacent lodges a restrained mix of slim sliders and frameless structural glazing captures rolling valley views while maintaining a quiet, high specification interior. The glazing language is consistent inside and out, supporting natural wayfinding and effortless flow to terraces. 

The Grove, Hertfordshire

Replacement aluminium doors and windows refresh the Amber Suite and adjoining areas of a listed hotel and golf resort. Slim frames with integrated transoms preserve the traditional proportion while improving performance. To garden fronts, operable sets of golf club glazing open wide for events yet keep external elevations visually clean when closed. The scheme brightens interiors and strengthens the relationship to landscaped terraces without compromising heritage character.

Also see The Newt in Somerset in terms of golf club glazing, for tall frameless entrances, structural glazing and pool house façades executed with conservation sensitivity, and Soho Farmhouse Huts in Oxfordshire for large centre biparting sliding screens that achieve a refined steel look in an aluminium build for lighter operation and maintenance.

Overlooking a golf course: residential precedents that inform hospitality

Treeside at Wentworth uses floor to ceiling slim framed sliders and aluminium windows from basement to upper floor to form continuous glass elevations toward the fairways. Flush thresholds merge rooms with terraces, frameless rooflights draw daylight into the pool and bathrooms, and internal and external glass balustrades provide safety without sacrificing views. These golf club glazing moves translate directly to premium members’ suites and lodges.

At Titlark in Sunningdale a double height structural glass conservatory supported by glass beams forms the main vantage point to the course. Sliding openings flow to terraces and a sheltered first floor balcony, with minimalist balustrades holding a crisp visual line.

Slim framed sliding doors

For statement openings, specify ultra-slim sliders with minimal sightlines, smooth operation and integrated drainage at flush or near-flush thresholds. Configurations include pocketing into walls, opening corners and curved screens. Operation can be manual or automated. Use double or triple glazing to meet exposure and acoustic targets while keeping a clean, continuous floor line.

Invisio® structural glass

Invisio® is the UK’s only thermally broken structural glazing system. It enables frameless facades, picture windows, rooflights and links with tested details and an in-built thermal break that removes the usual structural glass bridging issues. Invisio® is well suited to exposed or coastal sites and can be paired with triple glazing and marine finishes for durability and comfort.

Steel and steel look systems

Where a gridded aesthetic or a fire strategy drives the brief, choose between true steel and aluminium steel look. Thermally broken Mondrian steel provides authentic material expression and can extend to fire-rated facades and doors. Aluminium steel look achieves the same rhythm with lower weight and easier maintenance in high-use hospitality settings, using real or applied glazing bars on slim thermally broken frames.
