Front 9 Capital Improvement Plan

University Park Country Club

Presented in 3/2/2026 Joint Committee Workshop

Executive Position

The Front 9 infrastructure is aging and no longer performing at an acceptable standard (frankly this can be said about 1-18).
This proposal is structural and performance-based — not cosmetic.
Revenue impacts are not included here and must be evaluated separately.
Decision point: short-term disruption vs long-term course excellence.
This does not include any tree replanting, brick paver work, or any beautification projects.

Minimal Impact Projects (Operationally
Manageable)
Cart path & curb repairs — $95,000
Expand #5 Gold tee (palmetto removal) — $9,800
Brick paver “bump outs” by tees and greens $57,000
Tree replacement and landscape beautification — $63,750
Drainage/pond banks and swale upgrades — $100,000
Improves safety and playability with minimal disruption

Major Capital Projects (Strategic Closure
Planning)
Replace #5 bulkhead — $79,750 (hole closure required)
Expand & rebuild tee tops — $97,385 (course closure required)
Rebuild fairway bunkers — $250,000 (course closure required)
Re-grade & re-grass fairways — $175,670 (course closure required)
Phasing reduces single-event impact — but increases inefficiency and extends disruption.

Material Investment

G-Angle bunker sand (1,300 tons) — $76,000
#89 granite gravel (370 tons) — $31,000
Bimini sod (138,500 sq ft) — $75,000
Fertilizer & control products — $47,000
These materials enable performance, durability, and consistent playing conditions.

Estimated Investment Summary

Strategic Considerations (Board Decision
Lens)
Deferring infrastructure repair compounds future cost and member disruption.
Modern bunker construction improves drainage and reduces annual maintenance inputs.
Fairway regrading corrects chronic drainage and consistency issues.
Executing concurrently can minimize total downtime vs piecemeal phasing.
Recommendation: pick a closure window that minimizes revenue disruption and maximizes quality of execution.

Board Action Requested

Confirm project scope (select items to approve).
Direct management to present: (1) schedule/closure window, and
(2) revenue impact analysis.
Authorize contractor bidding and final pricing validation prior to award.
