7/26/21 Update

Reclaimed water project update for the week of 7/26/21

Dear La Cumbre Members,


Last week was a successful start to what will present as a larger undertaking this week. Landscapes Unlimited, Mac Brown Co, and Lash Contractors are on-site and off-site, completing the pipeline run from Valle Verde behind 6th green. In addition, we will commence runs along with the 6th and the 10th fairways to the reservoir off the 15th.


As always, we will try to keep disruptions to members at a minimum, and we greatly appreciate your patience and support with us during this process.

Ok, so what did we complete last week, and what do we expect to complete this week?


Last Week:

  • In Calle Los Amigos, Lash Construction installed 900 linear ft of 8in pipe for reclaimed water. 
  • On the 6th Hole, work started on the pipeline that will extend from the back of the 6th Hole to the 15th Hole and the lake reservoir. 
  • More Materials were delivered, and Landscapes Unlimited set up camp in the irrigation island area along the 15th fairway.


This Week:

  • Lash Construction will complete the pipeline run from the Calle Los Amigos point of connection behind the 6th green distribution point. 
  • Cart Path removal will be commencing on the 5th, 10th, and 11th holes and possibly be completed by the end of the week. 
  • The palm tree planter on the 11th Hole will be removed to make the pipeline and refreshed teeing complex. 
  • Boring under the road at Monte and Via Laguna should commence this week.
  • Pipeline work will be underway in the old cart path locations, from the 6th, 5th, and leading over to behind the 4th green. 


In recognizing the draught restrictions that are likely coming to our community, we are very fortunate to be in a position to complete this project that will ensure water to our property for years to come. As many of you are aware, we are all hearing discussions of severe water restrictions that would, at a minimum, materially increase our water costs. 


Again, as we have shared over the months, the work will primarily exist under the existing cart paths routes. This may be disruptive to play, but we will do our best to manage our contractor's footprints on the course and the project swiftly moving toward a positive outcome.



Thank you again for your patience and support!

Dear Members, Over the past two months, Management, the Board, the Finance Committee, and the Capital Planning Committee have been meeting regularly to finalize a proposal that will fund the two major projects ahead: the Golf Course renovation in 2027 ($17 million) and the Clubhouse restoration in 2028 ($16 million). In the coming weeks, Adam and I, along with a small support team, will begin hosting small group member meetings to share these plans, review the past 18 months of financial results, discuss proposed by-law amendments, and outline the offer received from a member group interested in purchasing the Club. Please click here to view a summary of the Board/Finance Committee-approved plan, along with a comparison to the purchase proposal. These documents provide an outline of the presentations, which begin in earnest next week. The full presentation with attachments will be available on the Club website by early next week. In the meantime, the 2024 audited financial statements, along with updates through July 2025, were sent on October 15, inclusive of an explanatory summary​​​​. Click here to view the communication.

Governance Committee Update
By La Cumbre CC July 7, 2025
Dear La Cumbre Members, Next week, the Board will be meeting to tackle the important topic of how to fund our capital needs moving forward. As part of this due diligence, we had received an expression of interest regarding the purchase of the Club. To better understand the optionality, the Board has had additional conversations with other interested parties. The Board is actively engaged in long-range financial planning to ensure that we can sustain and elevate the Club for generations to come. As part of this process, we are exploring a wide range of funding options to support the significant capital investments our Club will need over the coming years. This includes traditional approaches like capital dues, transfer fees, assessments, and loans. In the spirit of good governance and due diligence, the Board is also gathering information about alternative funding avenues, including outside capital interest. To be clear: No decisions have been made No offers are under consideration The Board has not authorized any action toward selling the Club What has occurred are preliminary, exploratory conversations intended to fully understand what options may exist. This process is about building knowledge so that if we need to make major financial decisions in the future, we do so from a well-informed position, always with the best interest of the membership and the long-term health of the Club in mind. We understand that seeing outside individuals on the property may have raised questions, and we regret any confusion this may have caused. Our commitment remains: Transparency with our members Adherence to sound governance principles A deliberate, member-centered process We will continue to keep you informed as these discussions evolve. There will be no path forward on any major initiative without full Board consideration and member engagement. Thank you for your understanding and for your ongoing dedication to the La Cumbre community. Tracy Jenkins President, Board of Director sLa Cumbre Country Club
