Beloit Club

This place is brand new. For those that don’t know, the old country club was completely demolished and this architectural beauty was constructed. We are not currently members but we were invited to a dinner last night so I can comment on the food and service. Just a note of caution… the dinning/​bar and club in general is for Members Only.
The atmosphere is very sophisticated and upscale. From the person that greats you at the entrance to the furniture and layout of the bar. The bar area is constructed much like an upscale hotel lounge. They had a huge variety of beers on tap, mostly local which I loved. Beers from New Glarus, Ale Asylum, WBC, and more. They also have some nice bar snacks on the table so you can snack while drinking.
Once we were seated, the menu selection is diverse and reaches to satisfy any palate. They have vegetarian options and are very flexible. In speaking with the GM, he was saying the menu and beer selections vary on a week to week basis. I tried the pear/​nut/​blue cheese salad which was probably one of the best salads I have tasted in my life. The combination of flavors and the crunch of the candied nuts (sorry its killing me, can’t remember if it was almonds or walnuts… either way it was AWESOME) was spectacular. They also had this glaze of dressing that was so light yet flavorful… I could have eaten three bowls. Next we tried the mushroom ravioli. It was well done. You could tell the ravioli was fresh, with the pasta being slightly al dente and the sauce, peppers, and parmesan in the center was the perfect accompaniment.
The dessert was interesting. I had a snickers pie which was good, but difficult to eat. Each time i tried to put my fork in it, it was so hard, the pie went flying across the table. My wife had a pistachio pastry thing, that looked very pretty, but was ok in flavor.
Overall the revamped Beloit Country Club is a welcomed addition to the community. The space they have available for parties upstairs in the club can accommodate over 300 people. We did take a tour of the facility and are trying to find out rates so we could maybe use the pool and dine there since we don’t play golf. The pool is huge and actually has a kids area with water structures and fountains/​waterfalls. I do wish they had a workout area to justify the cost for non-​golfers but the building is not 100% complete, so we will have to see what happens.
