The Chautauqua Golf Club today announced that the Chautauqua Hotel Company has taken over responsibility for the Clubhouse restaurant, the Double Eagle Patio on the Green. The club also announced an anticipated April 15 opening date for the 2021 golf season, weather permitting.

Featuring both indoor and covered outdoor seating with sweeping views of manicured fairways and the hills surrounding Chautauqua Lake, the Double Eagle Patio on the Green will be open to the public and to golfers seven days a week once golf operations begin. New this season is an enhanced menu with new and creative food offerings created by Chef Edward Work III, executive chef of the Athenaeum Hotel. Work has also developed the menus at other popular Chautauqua Institution-owned food venues operated by the Chautauqua Hotel Company, such as the Athenaeum’s Heirloom Restaurant and the Afterwords Café on Bestor Plaza. The 2021 Double Eagle menu will be available later this month at golf.chq.org.

The Chautauqua Hotel Company also manages the Clubhouse as a unique space for private functions, including weddings, banquets, conferences and post-tournament gatherings, with packages to accommodate groups of up to 250 (regulations permitting). Convenient overnight lodging is also available at the Athenaeum Hotel. Contact the Athenaeum’s sales and conferencing office at 716-357-6389.
