Weathervane Golf Academy and The Range Bar & Grill

Weymouth, MA

Project Size:

35 Acres ±

The Range Bar & Grill offers an indoor and outdoor dining experience overlooking the Weathervane Golf Academy and Driving Range in Hingham. The site consists of 35 acres of land, the main Golf Academy and Range building, an expansive outdoor patio and cabana, and 200+ parking spaces. Crocker has been involved in this site since the Bristol family purchased it in 2013, helping to transform the facility into the blended golf academy/driving range/restaurant it is today.

While at CHA Consulting, Gabe Crocker led a redesign and permitting effort for The Range through the Town of Hingham Planning Board, Zoning Board, Conservation Commission, and Board of Health. Since then, Crocker Design Group has led multiple permitting efforts, including seating and pedestrian circulation to address Covid protocols and change of use for storage space(s) to become a function facility. Crocker has also acted as permit coordinator in designing the future expansion of the Range to include additional parking, septic, and seating capacity.

Over the past 25 years, I have worked with dozens of engineering firms ranging in size, as well as specialty. In that time, I have come to consider Crocker Design Group as a real standout in the industry. I particularly appreciate the company’s responsiveness and competence, as well as their overall attitude and commitment to problem-solving. Gabe and his team have been a pleasure to work with, their dedication to providing solutions, no matter the challenge, is a testament to the culture and ethics of Crocker Design. As a developer, I can say with honesty that they are incredibly talented and a true pleasure to work with.

I have worked with Gabe Crocker of the Crocker Design Group on various projects for the last five years. I am counsel to a large company that has worked with Mr. Crocker and his team on 5 or 6 development projects in Massachusetts. In each instance, Gabe Crocker and his team fulfill their responsibilities as Civil Engineers, but in most cases go much further. If we need research on local zoning or other ordinances the Crocker team is ready to get the information we need. If we need someone to step forward and coordinate the activities of other design professionals, Crocker is ready to fill that role and do it very well. Gabe also has the unique ability to make effective public presentations during the permitting process. Not all engineers can provide both technical knowledge and good “people skills”. It is a pleasure to work with Crocker Design.

I contracted with Crocker Design Group to have my home residence surveyed and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Gabe, Shane, Vinny and Chris are the ultimate professionals. As an individual homeowner, I was worried that my job wouldn’t get much attention due to larger development projects taking precedence, but this wasn’t the case at all. The team was prompt, thorough, and explained every step of the process carefully, including walking the property with me to explain the nuances of the survey. The plot plan was very detailed and delivered promptly. I’m recommending Crocker Design to my friends with similar residential survey needs.

I’ve experienced Crocker Design’s passion for problem solving in several successful Real Estate Development projects in Eastern Massachusetts. Gabe and his team consistently go “above and beyond” to help us present our projects in the best possible light to Planning Boards, ZBAs, Conservation Commissions, and all related town government officials.
