Fans of Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa have a date to mark on the calendar. The Turf Club Lounge is set to reopen on August 31, 2026, following a refurbishment that started earlier this year. Here is what you need to know about the reopening, the work behind it, and what is happening with the connected restaurant next.
When the Lounge Reopens
Closed
April, 2026
Reopens
August 31, 2026
The Turf Club Lounge will welcome guests again on August 31, 2026. The space had been closed for several months while crews worked on updates, and its return gives resort guests and visitors a familiar spot to unwind once more.
If you have a stay planned at Saratoga Springs in the coming weeks, the lounge will be ready in time.
A Look Back at the Refurbishment Timeline
Work on the Turf Club Bar & Grill and the Turf Club Lounge began in mid-March 2026. The lounge was first expected to close in early April, though the timeline shifted as the project moved forward.
The refurbishment will be carried out in phases, affecting different areas of The Turf Club at various times:
- Early April to Early August 2026: The Turf Club Lounge closed. During this time, The Turf Club Bar & Grill will remained open, offering a modified lounge menu through a pop-up bar.
- Early to Mid-August 2026: The Turf Club patio will be temporarily closed for updates.
- August 21, 2026: The Turf Club Bar & Grill will close, while The Turf Club Lounge reopens to serve guests.
How Dining Stayed Open During the Work
Guests were not left without options while the lounge was closed. The Turf Club Bar & Grill stayed open throughout the project, running a pop-up bar with a modified menu. That approach kept food and drinks available at Saratoga Springs even as one part of the operation paused for updates.
What Comes Next for the Bar & Grill
The reopening of the lounge does not mean the work is finished. Once the Turf Club Lounge is back in service on August 31, the Turf Club Bar & Grill will close through late September for its own refurbishment.
If you are planning a visit during that window, keep this closure in mind so you can adjust your dining plans accordingly.
What to Expect at the Lounge
The Turf Club Lounge carries a relaxed feel that pairs well with its setting. Guests can settle in for patio views, a menu of shareable bites, and a selection of specialty drinks. It makes a comfortable stop whether you are staying at the resort or simply looking for a quieter place to sit and enjoy a snack or a cocktail.
Final Thoughts
The August 31 reopening brings the Turf Club Lounge back into the mix at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, giving guests another dining option as the summer winds down. With the Bar & Grill set to close for its own updates soon after, it is worth planning ahead if you want to check out the refreshed lounge. Keep an eye on the schedule, and you will have a smooth visit either way.
