Q: Can I use the Cherry Creek Facilities as well as Tallgrass Country Club prior to completion?

Q: What is a member-owned club?

A: In a member-owned or equity club, each equity member has an ownership interest in the club similar to the ownership of stock in a corporation. This type of club permits its equity members to control their club through the right to vote. The facilities are operated and managed under the direction of a Board of Directors ultimately elected by the equity members. Major issues are generally decided by the vote of the equity members, such as capital assessments and amendments to the membership documents. (top)

Q: What benefits are provided by member-ownership?

A: As a result of member control, a member-owned club assumes the characteristics of its membership. The club experience and lifestyle are enhanced by the heightened interest and participation of member-owners; and the greater continuity in the membership which is found in a member-owned club. Member-ownership also creates a greater cohesiveness within the community.

Member-ownership answers the open questions as to what will become of the Club Facilities in the future, by clearly establishing which entity will own and control the Club Facilities after development of the Community is complete. The equity members themselves will ultimately set the rules and costs of membership privileges. (top)

Q: How will the Club acquire the facilities?

A: Olde Vine Golf Club LLC (the "Company") has arranged for the transfer to the Club of all of the Company's right, title and interest in the Club Facilities. In consideration for the transfer of the Company's interest in the Club Facilities, the Company will receive a portion of the memberships to be issued in the Club. Control of the operation of the Club will initially be retained by the Company and will ultimately be turned over to the Equity Members on the Turnover Date, as hereinafter provided. (top)

Q: What categories of membership will be offered by the Club?

A: Two categories of Equity Membership will be available in the Club: Founder Membership and Golf Membership. A person acquiring a Founder Membership or a Golf Membership will be referred to as an Equity Member. The Club will also offer four categories of Non-Equity Memberships: Dinner/House Membership, Social Membership, Weekday Membership and Weekday Corporate Membership.
