The Franklin Hills golf course community consists of more than 500 acres of rolling Connecticut countryside and forest. The community will consist of a new Arnold Palmer signature golf course, a combined Arnold Palmer Golf Club, and Palmer branded 100-key lodge. In addition, the community will include a separate Palmer Branded Ski Lodge, time share units, and golf cottages all situated along various golf course fairways. The lodge will feature underground parking with rooftop gardens and a great lawn for outdoor functions as the entry feature to the club and lodge. It is anticipated that at a minimum, a PGA Seniors event will be played at this facility in the future.
Stewart worked closely with the Palmer Course Design and branded lodge team to master plan and design all aspects of the community including the community and sub-community entrances, wayfinding, roadway landscape treatments, site design for all the clubs, lodges and residential components of the community. Stewart also developed design guidelines for the residential components of the community that will guide the exterior design of the residential products and will serve as a basis for the community documents.
