CONSTRUCTION/COURSE CLOSURE/TIMING

32. Can we ask Tim Jackson (of Jackson Kahn Designs) what we have to do to guarantee we are done in one year, whether it is more money, more crews, etc.? There is a delicate balance between optimizing speed/experience, cost and quality. This is a once in a generation project for Glenwild, so we do need to get the best construction team to manage the tradeoffs of moving too fast, cutting cost corners and not meeting budget. We will endeavor to seek that balance with our advisors. 33. Do we need any special permits from the Army Corps of Engineers? No aspects of the proposed plan will disturb wetlands, so there will not be a need for any special permits from the Army Corps of Engineers. 34. How does the flow of construction work for a project that is completed all at once? The project would be slated to begin in the fall of 2026. In early August 2026 we would begin to prep the site for staging and start to receive materials for the project. The Club would reduce play to 9 holes beginning September 14, 2026. The holes that would remain open would be #1-2 and 12-18. The first part of the project beginning on September 14 th would be the demolition of bunkers, stripping the sod from #8 & 10 greens to be replanted in the nursery for use on the green expansions in 2027. Irrigation pipe would begin to be fused while mainline trenching begins. Bunkers will then begin to be re-built, demolition of #8 & 10 would begin for the redesign of both holes, and tee boxes would start to be shaped (if new) or scraped/releveled, if existing. Holes #8 & 10 would be reshaped, and the greens would be rebuilt and prepped for seed in the spring of 2027. The construction team would continue working hole by hole on bunker demolition and reconstruction, followed closely by installation of the new irrigation system hole by hole until the weather does not allow work (projected mid-November). Work would be resumed in the spring of 2027 when the snow is melted, with #8 & 10 greens being seeded, the resumption of bunker demolition and rebuild, followed by irrigation installation and tee box work. Cart path demolition and reconstruction would begin in mid-May, following the bunkers and irrigation construction. Throughout the project as areas are completed sod will be laid on disturbed areas. Construction would wrap up towards the end of September 2027 for irrigation, bunkers, and cart paths. The final piece of the project that will start in August and wrap up in early November is the rebuilding of the bridges on the golf course. 35. Can this project be completed without closing the course? All projects can be completed without completely closing the golf course. Large projects such as irrigation replacement are complex but can be completed in phases so certain holes are left open to be available for play, however there is a tradeoff of time, cost, and conditions if the golf course remains open. Our consultants and golf course designers are telling us best practice for a project of this magnitude is to close the course to get it done as fast as possible. In the RFP process, we will ask the construction companies to bid for full uninterrupted access to the course which would result in closure during the 2027 season and their views on different possibilities to allow the potential for opening the course in the fall of 2027. We will potentially ask them for a bid to complete the work in two 9 hole segments to determine the best final option for the project.
