Course Renovation FAQs

▪ How was the phasing of the projects determined?

We tried to strike a delicate balance between feedback from the membership regarding priorities, cash flow projections, debt position, bank appraisal, and lending
limits, lead times with vendors and ability to obtain products/services, the “growing season,” the “pool season,” and several other factors. We believe this is the best
overall solution for the membership.

▪ Who is managing the course renovations/project?

Ross Adkins – An experienced Program Manager with Landscapes Unlimited. The Board has contracted with Landscapes to provide a full-time Program Manager
who has a team of people behind him to assist in a variety of areas as subject matter experts for this renovation. Landscapes has already completed a drone fly-over to
map the course, providing details on water flow/drainage, topography, size and dimensions of various aspects (bunker size, green size, linear footage of cart paths,
etc.). This mapping is invaluable for planning the golf course construction and ongoing maintenance.

▪ Who is doing the actual construction work?

With oversight from Ross Adkins, Spence Golf, Inc. will be performing the actual work. The team at Landscapes has been working with Kris Spence on pricing and
phasing as well as providing guidance/ideas based on their years of experience doing over 5,000 projects. Landscapes has also provided a quote to do the construction
work, but mobilization costs were much higher than Spence Golf, a local company. Last year, Spence Golf, Inc. was chosen after a bid process which was led by a sub-
committee of the Strategic Planning Committee.

▪ Are these all “necessary items” or “nice-to-haves” to just get the course in better, upgraded shape?

Based on feedback from the members, the Greens & Grounds Committee, Landscapes Staff, Kris Spence, and other committee members, the plan provides only what is
necessary, and in some cases, critical items for the golf course. We are essentially replacing the 35-year-old irrigation system and addressing drainage issues
throughout the course. There are a few items that could be considered “nice-to-have/improve member experience,” but the cost to do them is minimal, since other work
is to be completed on those items to address other issues. For example, we must fix the tee box drainage issue. To expand and reshape the boxes in the process is a “nice-
to-have” but minimal cost that will improve the member experience.

Course Renovation FAQs

▪ Will the course be closed? If so, what arrangements will be made at other courses for play?

The course will remain open in Phase 1 (Nov 2022 – April 2023), with only 2-3 holes closing at a time. The course will be closed for Phase 2 (April –August 2024) for 4
– 5 months. The committees explored several options, including:

Closing the course for 9 at a time – Total months of closure would be 18 months
Closing the entire course at once – Total months of closure would be 10 months
Keeping the course open while renovating except when addressing the greens & surrounds – Total months of closure would be 5 months
Due to the operational losses (ranging from $400k - $650k with the 10 & 18 months of closure) and the fact that we would not be able to obtain an adequate number of
reciprocal tee times for that length of time other than in the afternoons, we felt the best option would be to remain open for Phase 1 and close in Phase 2. During Phase 2,
the staff will work to provide reciprocal arrangements at courses in the area.

▪ What is the cost for this renovation? And how much will the members have to pay?

The latest quotes total $5.7mm, and we have additional contingency money built into the pro forma. Rising costs have required us to move several items out to later
phases (i.e., bridge replacement, driving range) and focus on the most pressing items that need to be completed in the next two years.
The Board has approved the 2022 – 2025 Capital Improvements Plan to present to the Membership for a vote in June. Details of member investment will be
forthcoming.

▪ What is the plan to ensure the course is well-maintained after all these renovations are completed in 2024?

Landscapes Golf Management has a rigorous maintenance program that outlines standards and metrics for each of the courses they manage. The 2022 season will be
the first opportunity for Landscapes to understand and experience our course needs, challenges, and specific requirements. As such, they will be working this year to
create a maintenance plan, using their program standards for our course. This plan will be updated in 2024 to reflect any adjustments needed after the renovations.
In addition, with the retirement of Ron Ritchie, our Director of Agronomy, in July of 2023, Landscapes will ensure the new director understands the importance of the
entire course being exceptionally maintained.

Course Renovation FAQs

▪ In Phase 2, Hole 8 is moving. This was not something many of the members want, so why are we still doing it?

The current bunkers and a small section of the green are in the flood plain, which has been problematic for years with bunker washout and
erosion during heavy rains. The capillary concrete bunkers would help to mitigate this situation but cannot be installed in the flood plain. In
addition, we are unable to “switch” the mounds and bunkers in the current design as we are unable to add soil or make changes in the flood
plain.
Thus, the solution that is being proposed is to keep the exact same configuration and move it approximately 30 feet to the right. We would also
move the right-hand tee box towards the creek (but out of the flood plain) to have a better sight line to the newly renovated green and bunkers.

▪ What other options were considered besides moving the green and bunkers on Hole 8 to the right?

Several options were discussed as possible ways to address the issues we have with Hole 8:
1. We could abandon the bunkers and convert them to grass swales. However, there would still be silt buildup in the swales with every
heavy rain, requiring cleanup and repair.
2. We could leave the green and bunkers as-is, and not convert the bunkers to capillary concrete and just continue to deal with the washout
and erosion as we have done in the past.
Note: Since the bunkers are in the flood plain, we are not permitted to just fill them to raise the level out of the flood plain. We would
risk fines or requirements to remediate later.

Given these constraints/restrictions, Spence Golf and Landscapes agreed and recommended we move the green and bunkers to the right and
get them out of the flood plain.
