So, a client asked me to take an image of a country club during a shoot. I obliged and low and behold she wants a huge print of it to hang in their living room. I have never done such a big enlargement, so I am concerned about quality. I shot 100 ISO, jpg fine. Do you think this will reproduce well? I was thinking maybe metallic paper? HELP!

unless they're something wrong with the image i.e. camera shake, out of focus, it will reproduce just fine. In fact I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised with how well it does.

no problem.
Try it - I'm sure it will look good.

But if you are worried avoid super glossy papers like metalic as they show EVERY detail - including camera shake or sharpness. Instead go with a slightly Matte finish.

put it into photoshop and enlarge it to the measurements she wants. then you can look at a portion or portions of the photo and see if still looks good. that is the quickest way I can think of to check it without cost to you or disappointment to her

There is some up-rez software to maximize quality in enlargements. I think you can find one with a free trial. One I tried a while back allowed 10 enlargements before the demo stopped working. I think that was Genuine Fractals. I think there are also ones by Fred Miranda and one called BlowUp.
