ANDERSON — The clubhouse at Grandview Golf Course saw new life again Tuesday as local restaurant owner Roger Moran opened his second Anderson establishment.

The opening of Moran’s at Grandview turned the long-neglected clubhouse into a thriving restaurant and bar open for business, and city officials hope it will draw more golfers to the city-owned course.

Pam Clendenen, who was the business manager of the Parks Department, which oversees the golf course, said the course’s revenue was up $40,000 for the year as of June 1, a fact she attributes to golfers anticipating the opening of the restaurant.

“A lot of the passes they bought, they bought knowing Roger was going to be here,” Clendenen said. “He took the Grandview clubhouse back to what it is supposed to be.”

Moran’s at Grandview started serving meals at 5 p.m. Tuesday, but it opened its doors to city officials for a sneak preview Tuesday afternoon.

“This is the best it’s looked in a long time,” Mayor Kris Ockomon said. “We’re very pleased and very proud. You can see how much pride they take in this place.”

Ockomon said that, with the restaurant open, the city will have a place of its own to bring business clients and have other meetings. The mayor, who said he has eaten at Moran’s other restaurant at 23rd and Pitt streets, said he and his wife had taken up golfing and planned to frequent the new restaurant.

“He has a faithful following of people,” Ockomon said. “It’s brought a lot of class.”

The stainless steel kitchen, new floors and paint job make the restaurant look fresh, while the glass tabletops covering collages of famous golfers reminds patrons where they are.

The menu includes classic favorites, like burgers and french fries, but Moran said the real treats will come on Thursdays, when his wife, Cheryl, makes her famous pork chops, and Fridays, when she prepares steaks along with the pork chops.

“We always wanted a bar and restaurant,” Cheryl Moran said. “I just hope everybody enjoys it. We’ve had tons of comments, and everybody is saying it doesn’t look the same.”

The difference comes in the work the Morans put into the building, arriving many days at 6 a.m. and leaving at 1 a.m. The restaurant also had about $48,000 in repairs paid for by the city through its food and beverage tax collections.

Moran was approved to occupy the restaurant in June, when the Parks and Recreation Board signed a lease with him. A week before that, the board had killed the motion to sign a contract with Moran because some members disagreed with his $100-a-month rent payments and others hadn’t had time to read the contract.

Debbie Nelson, who was Park Board president for 16 years, said she was impressed with the Morans’ work in the clubhouse.

“It’s just amazing what they’ve done here with the golf theme,” she said. “It’s very creative, and it’s so clean. The kitchen, it’s like you can eat off the floors.”
