TOPSHAM — Highland Green, Maine’s first master planned active adult community, recently announced that on-site dining will return soon at the newly refurbished Wild Duck Pub located above the Highland Green Golf Clubhouse.
According to a news release, service will resume at the end of May and the pub will be open to the public for the entire golf season.
Highland Green owner/developer John Wasileski spearheaded the clubhouse renovation project, enhancing the pub’s kitchen facilities and partnering with food service provider Fitz Vogt & Associates to offer not only breakfast, lunch and dinner, but catering and home delivery service for Highland Green residents.
“Under the leadership of our new dining service partner, Fitz Vogt, we feel that the timing is perfect to successfully move forward with this venture,” said Wasileski. “The demand is apparent for the Wild Duck Pub to serve golfers and Highland Green residents. We look forward to providing fine dining services to residents of our sister communities, Ocean View of Falmouth and the Highlands of Topsham, and the general public in the beautiful natural setting of our 650-acre campus.”
Plans include an enhanced full-service kitchen with professional management and “upscale pub fare, local delicacies, beer and wine and special events all in a vibrant, comfortable atmosphere,” according to Craig Lentz, of Fitz Vogt, which has been providing food service throughout the Northeast and Mid- Atlantic for more than 30 years.
The pub will remain open during the entire 2012 golf season with an eye on eventual conversion of the screened-in porch overlooking the golf course into a four-season sunroom and year-round operation.
The Highland Green Golf Club, under the supervision of Harris Golf Co., will be relocated to the ground floor of the clubhouse, giving the golf club and golfers more space and easier access to the course.
The Wild Duck Pub is located in Highland Green, just one mile off Route 196 and two miles from Interstate 295 in Topsham. The Scottishstyle golf course is open to the public.
