The Wanango Country Club in Reno is adding another chapter to its storied history. Renovating and revamping its recreation offerings for members and the community by modernizing the pool area which has been shut down for a number of years.
“Reopening the pool and recreation area was one of the long-term goals of the new owners, who purchased Wanango Country Club in 2016,”  said Jess Rosen, the club’s events and marketing director.
“We want to create more of a family-type atmosphere at Wanango Country Club by creating an affordable social membership,” said Rosen.
“Familia Omnis,” which translate to “Every Family,” is the new focus of the country club's owners.

The club is rooted in golf, still offering the ability to play on the original nine holes designed by Donald Ross in 1914. Over the years the club has hosted the traditional country club recreational activities with the mainstay being the golf course that grew from nine holes to 18 in 1920.
For more than 120 years this historic plot has hosted many an important affair and fine dining. The current facelift to a portion of the facility will give guests a mix of traditional country club offerings with a splash of more modern pastimes.
A new saltwater pool and kiddie pool have been built. The bathhouse was renovated. Soon the former tennis courts will be made into areas to play pickle ball, bocce ball and basketball. The final step will be opening a snack shack.
And Rosen plans to keep the updated facilities hopping with lots of options for members with a target opening of Memorial Day weekend.
“We are planning to organize both pickle ball and bocce ball leagues,” she said. “We hope to organize water aerobics, pool-side yoga, children’s events and more this summer.”
