Tewksbury Country Club Unveils New Patio Dining Area

If you ever travel on Route 38 in Tewksbury there is every reason to believe that you have noticed  A beautiful building set back from the main road and surrounded by perfectly manicured landscaping the Tewksbury Country Club is hard to miss.

Chances are good that you know a little bit about the country club.  Most people realize that The Tewksbury Country Club is built on the site that was, at one time, The Tew-Mac Airport.  Almost everyone realizes that The Tewksbury Country Club is boasts a nine hole public golf course, is the perfect venue for a wedding or other function and hosts a variety of events throughout the year. 

What many people don’t realize, however, is that The Tewksbury Country Club is much more than just that.  With a variety of function rooms, a year round tavern and a seasonal outdoor patio overlooking its perfectly maintained golf course, the Tewksbury Country Club really is the best kept secret in town.

Opened in 2003 by Marc Ginsburg, The Tewksbury Country Club has quickly grown into an important part of the local community. Dedicated to continuing to grow and serve the area The Tewksbury Country Club made a few changes over the winter and the staff can’t wait to share them with the public.

“Patio Season” is always a favorite at The Tewksbury Country Club and many patrons spend the early spring anxiously awaiting their first trip of the season to this amazing location.  Whether you choose an indoor seat in The Tew-Mac Tavern or an outdoor table on the patio you are sure to have an incredible view of the golf course along with a great experience. 

This month patrons will be surprised to see that, while many of us were busy hibernating for the winter, The Tewksbury Country Club was working on an addition to the beloved Tew-Mac Tavern, redesigning the patio area and bringing in Executive Chef Elmer Scott to make the improvements complete.

So, how exactly do you take such a perfect place and make it even better?  Well, extra seating, a brand new piano and more windows than ever overlooking the spectacular scenery are among the highlights.  The Tew-Mac Tavern will take on a relaxing piano bar atmosphere featuring live entertainment on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings.  No rock bands at the tavern but, instead, one and two piece bands will add to the casual and affordable atmosphere that it is already known for.

The showpiece of The Tewksbury Country Club, the outdoor patio, has been redesigned to accommodate the larger tavern and, at the same time, provide the same reasonable prices and spectacular view of the country club property that patrons have already come to love.  Outdoor speakers will ensure that everyone can enjoy the entertainment no matter where they choose to sit.

As for the Executive Chef Elmer Scott, he couldn’t be more excited about his move to The Tewksbury Country Club.  “When I came here I was looking forward to a challenge and a new adventure,” Scott explained.  “I want to provide local customers with a chance to enjoy a new flair and technique right here in Tewksbury without having to leave and go to Boston.”

A member of the Tewksbury Country Club team since November of 2011, Chef Scott brings with him nearly ten years of experience including the Bedford Village Inn, The JFK School of government and The North Andover Country Club.   He has a diverse knowledge of culinary arts makes him the perfect addition to The Tew-Mac tavern.

With the warmer weather upon us and the patio scheduled to open on May 14th, Chef Scott is looking forward to the opportunities the new season will provide.  “I’m looking forward to lighter fares like fresh salads and veggies,” he explained.  “It’s a great chance to for me to enhance local growers too.”

Regulars to the Tew-Mac Tavern need not worry about their favorites however.  Sicilian Calamari, Spinach Caprese Salad, Hot Buttered Lobster Roll, Classic Reuben and the tavern’s famous Nantucket Salad are on the menu to stay.  Daily Chef’s specials, however, will change regularly and feature seasonal fresh items.

As always, The Tewksbury Country Club plans to keep the menu affordable and the atmosphere casual and family friendly.  Exceeding their customer’s expectations truly is and, will always be, top priority.
