Project Scope

Cherokee Town and Country Club, a renowned private club with both town and country locations, has been a long-term partner. Over the years, we’ve collaborated on various projects, ranging from AV installations to access control systems. Recently, the club has focused on upgrading its security and AV systems across different areas, including the tennis courts, pool, ballrooms, and historic rooms. Our work with Cherokee Town and Country Club has been aimed at enhancing member access, improving event hosting capabilities, and maintaining the charm of their historic spaces.

Project Highlights

The Challenge

Cherokee Town and Country Club presented several key challenges as they sought to modernize their facilities:

  1. Streamlined Member Access: The club wanted to improve how members accessed the property, particularly at the gates, where the system needed to be more efficient for members while still maintaining security.
  2. Customized AV for Multiple Venues: From their ballroom to the tennis courts and pool area, Cherokee needed flexible AV systems to support events, clinics, and social gatherings. These systems had to be easy to manage but powerful enough to deliver high-quality sound and video for various member activities.
  3. Maintaining Historic Integrity: Some of the club’s rooms are considered historic and could not be significantly altered. The challenge was to install modern AV systems without compromising the historic integrity of these spaces.

Solutions Overview

We delivered comprehensive AV and access control solutions tailored to the club’s diverse needs, ensuring that both the historic charm and modern functionality were preserved.

Key Deliverables:

  • Automated Member Access System: We installed a gate access control system that allows members to enter the property automatically via RFID tags on their vehicles. This system streamlines entry, eliminating the need for manual checks while maintaining a high level of security. Guests are still monitored through a separate entry process, ensuring secure access for non-members.
  • Tennis Court AV System: At the tennis courts, we installed TVs, speakers, and a microphone system, allowing staff to broadcast scores, announce clinic activities, or play background music during events. This system can also be used for large tennis tournaments or social events, providing versatile functionality for both competitive and casual gatherings.
  • Ballroom and Pool AV Systems: We upgraded the ballroom’s AV capabilities, allowing for enhanced audio and video distribution during events, such as weddings and banquets. At the pool, we installed speakers and wireless microphones, making it easier for the club to host events like swim meets or social activities.
  • Preserving Historic Spaces: In the club’s historic rooms, we carefully installed AV systems without disrupting the original architecture. Speakers and cameras were discreetly placed to maintain the room’s traditional look, while still offering modern functionality.

Results:

Our AV and access control upgrades have significantly improved both member experiences and operational efficiency at Cherokee Town and Country Club:

  • Frictionless Member Access: The new RFID gate system allows members to enter the club seamlessly, enhancing convenience while still ensuring that security standards are met. The system has reduced wait times and improved traffic flow during peak times.
  • Improved Event Experiences: Whether it’s a wedding in the ballroom or a tennis clinic, the new AV systems provide top-notch audio and video quality. Members and guests now enjoy more immersive experiences, whether they are attending a formal event or a casual social gathering.
  • Maintained Historic Integrity: Our careful AV installations in historic rooms allowed the club to maintain the beauty and integrity of these spaces while upgrading them with modern capabilities. This balance between preservation and innovation ensures that Cherokee remains a destination that respects its history while embracing the future.

By providing innovative AV solutions and seamless access control, we’ve helped Cherokee Town and Country Club offer enhanced services to their members while preserving the unique charm and functionality of their facilities.
