New managers look to revitalize The Barn

It’s the beginning of a new era for The Barn at Gruis Recreation Area, as the clubhouse has received substantial updates and has new managers for the 2020 season. Ed and Joyce Griffin from Rake spearheaded the effort to remodel the clubhouse after taking over as new managers at the start of the year.

Ed says they’ve talked about running a restaurant or bar for quite a few years. Joyce has history with The Barn, as she previously worked there twice during her career in food service. “We saw it as a good opportunity,” said Joyce.

“When The Barn started, it was a hopping place. It was so busy out here – wait out the door type of thing,” said Joyce. “Over the years, it’s kind of lost that, and so our goal is to bring that back. And bring the excitement back and get new people and new golfers.”
