GREENWICH — Beverages might soon flow more freely at Tamarack Country Club, if plans to add a bar and make other changes move forward.

The non-profit club at 55 Locust Road went through a major renovation in 2004, building a so-called “Day Room” for young people and recreational activities. The club is now seeking to add a permanent bar area, off the north end of the Day Room, and to make other modifications there.

The goal is to provide better service to members and visitors, according to the application filed with Greenwich’s Planning and Zoning Commission by attorney Bruce Cohen.

“Currently the club does not have an efficient way to provide beverages to golfers, not does it have a formal bar area by the pool,” according to Cohen. “Presently, a portable bar is used at the pool to provide drink service during the summer months. As an improved member amenity, the club is proposing to construct a formal/permanent bar off the Day Room to better serve its members at both the pool complex and off the golf course.”

Some minor alterations to the patio area and landscaping are proposed. There will not be a loss of green space, according to the attorney.

The Tamarack Country Club was founded in 1929. It hosts a number of special events and benefits, aside from the recreational facilities.

A Yale University graduate, Charles Henry Banks, designed the golf course in 1929, and today it has been ranked the fourth best course in Connecticut by Golf Digest. The club lies on 170 acres in the northwest corner of town.

The proposal has not yet been scheduled for review by the Planning & Zoning Commission.
