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 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

Dear Members, Thank you to all who attended the recent Town Hall and Golf Course Project update meetings. Your participation and thoughtful engagement are essential as the board, management, and our committees strive to better understand how we plan for the future of La Cumbre. Over the next 45 days, the Board, Club Management, and the Finance Committee will be developing financial models that reflect the full scope of our campus-wide capital needs. These models will help inform project timing, prioritization, and funding strategies—including potential borrowing. As a reminder, any borrowing the Board recommends which exceeds $500,000 will require a member vote. In late June, the Board will hold a two-day planning retreat to review these options and map out a clear, disciplined path forward. We are committed to keeping members informed and equipped to make thoughtful decisions. We anticipate holding additional member forums to provide the needed context on these matters later this summer. If you were unable to attend the Town Hall, a recording is available HERE . We also encourage members to explore the Governance section of the member website, where you’ll find meeting minutes from all Board and committee meetings.

We deeply value your feedback as we work together to steward the long-term health and vitality of the Club. Warm regards, Tracy Jenkins President, Board of Directors La Cumbre Country Club
