In 2020, the Wilderness Ridge Golf and Country Club decided to explore upgrading its aquatic options for the wellbeing of its members. Counsilman-Hunsaker conducted a study for the club, and two concepts were provided to and reviewed by the country club.
The new aquatic center includes a lap pool, an activity pool, a spray pad, a lazy river, an adult pool and a spa. Features throughout the center include diving boards, a body slide, water sports, spray features, an in-pool bar, hydrotherapy jets and more.
In addition to these updates, the club also planned to construct a new pro shop building to house its year-round Nebraska Golf Academy, and a plan was conceived for “19th Hole” — a new members-only bar and grill — plus a fitness center. Construction on the expansions began in the spring of 2021 and concluded in July 2022.
