To the City of Orono Planning Commission: <br />Wayzata Country Club is pleased to present a brief descrip�on of our proposed project to <br />update needed essen�al infrastructure items on our golf course along with a renova�on that <br />will greatly enhance our member experience. <br /> In 2020 the Club’s Strategic Planning Commitee iden�fied many areas needing to be addressed <br />to simply maintain our current golf course condi�ons; these included the repair/replacement of <br />many essen�al golf course infrastructure items including the green collars, bunkers, releveling <br />the tee boxes, replacing select greens, addressing course water features, and the irriga�on <br />system. The recommenda�on of our Superintendent is to close the course to complete these <br />items at one �me, and to use seed instead of sod for a number of reasons, par�cularly to <br />address the collars. With the course closed to perform the above necessary maintenance, the <br />further recommenda�on is to re-grass the en�re golf course and repair cart paths at the same <br />�me. <br />Given the scope of the essen�al work on the golf course, the Club engaged Jackson Kahn Design <br />to develop a Golf Course Master Plan. The goal of the Master Plan is to ensure that we have a <br />strategic blueprint to follow for future investments and improvements to our golf course. The <br />completed Master Plan not only contemplated the needed infrastructure projects noted above <br />but also included the thoughts, visions, and recommenda�ons from our architects for a more <br />transforma�onal change to the course. <br />Given the course was going to be closed for a season, it provided a unique opportunity for the <br />Club to undertake a broader and more extraordinary course renova�on This is by no means a <br />complete re-rou�ng of the course however the renova�on will give us a fresh, updated, and <br />dis�nguished golf course by making strategic changes to individual holes to create enhanced <br />variety, fun and playability, and a more memorable and modern golf course. The golf course <br />renova�on also includes a fun, unique, and state of the art pu�ng course. <br />The scope of the project includes: <br />• New modern grasses (Bentgrass for greens, tees, <br />and fairways, and Bluegrass for rough) <br />• New green complexes with USGA specified greens <br />construc�on <br />• New and expanded irriga�on and drainage <br />• New and improved bunkers <br />44 <br />PC <br />Exhibit C
