Course layout finalized

Development plans for golfing facilities on the southeast edge of Beaver Creek are proceeding.

Course layout plans and lot locations are finalized, according to investor Rod Scholten. Engineering has completed the layout on-site by staking the lots.
An outstanding layout was designed for the clubhouse/banquet facility/bar and grill, according to Scholten.

Projected cost of the project is not available. Scholten said there are too many variables to pin down a figure yet. The biggest variable is lot development costs. Investors hope to put special assessments on the lots and are negotiating with the city.

"We are pursuing another venue of financing but we still hope to have a functioning banquet facility, restaurant and driving range by late spring or early June," said investor Tim Lange.

Investors attended the Beaver Creek city council meeting last week to inform the council of the status of the project. Investors in the project are Mike Blank, Rodney Scholten, Leonard Scholten and Tim Lange.

Investors had hoped to begin construction on Oct. 1, but planners have enountered some delays.

"We have been very careful to make good business decisions, which makes the project appear to be behind in the short term, but makes the long-term project better," Scholten said.

"This project is a huge undertaking and will benefit the communities in and around Beaver Creek so substantially, that we want to make sure everything is in place."

Investors have extended the deadline to purchase lifetime memberships for the course. They originally planned to offer memberships until Dec. 1. A lifetime family membership sells for $4,000.

The annual fee to belong to the course is $375 for family membership and $275 for individual.
