The rebuilt Tanasi Clubhouse includes Tanasi Waterfront Dining, with expanded spaces and updated amenities designed to give people a place to gather, dine and enjoy the waterfront. "This has been four years of a labor of love," said Christine Martinez, director of food and beverage.

The rebuilding process allowed Tellico Village to reconsider what it wanted from the space. Marketing and communications officer Beth Kuberka said the original clubhouse was in need of more space.

It adds on to the recently re-opened golf clubhouse. Golfers can now enjoy food as they play.  » Read More
