This was a paper for my Springfield College Facilities class in May 2009. This paper was set up with two other group members in my class. This paper goes with the PowerPoint presentation The Building of Ridgewood Golf Course.
2. Ridgewood Golf Club is a semi-private club located off of route 130 in Sandwich,
Massachusetts on Cape Cod. The location of the golf course puts in a very accessible
location for all golfers that wish to use it. The club is located less then 2 miles off exit 2
on the mid cape highway. The course is also accessible to people from Mashpee,
Falmouth, Barnstable, Bourne, and Plymouth.
The mission statement of the Ridgewood Golf Club is as follows:
“The Mission of Ridgewood Golf Club is to provide a state-of-the-art
multiuse facility. This facility has been built to provide the local
community, surrounding areas, and its members a
championship golf course. The first responsibility of Ridgewood Golf
Club is to its members and shareholders. The second responsibility
is to the surrounding community. We at Ridgewood Golf Club
strive to keep the course and its facilities in the highest
quality.”
In following our mission we will create a top of the line club that will attract members
from all over the eastern part of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
The vision statement for Ridgewood Golf Club is as follows:
“The vision for Ridgewood Golf Club is to become one of the top semi-
private championship golf course, not only on Cape Cod, but in all
of Massachusetts. To achieve this vision we will expect to have one
hundred and fifty members at the end of the clubs first fiscal year.
We also want to hold thirty outside banquets such as proms,
weddings, and business dinners. We hope to make a profit of over
3. $2.5 million in the clubs first fiscal year. Throughout the first year of our
existence we hope to create a culture between employees, and members
that will leave a lasting impression. After a five year period
we hope to increase our members to over four hundred and make a profit
of over $3.5 million annually. We hope to be considered for many
functions which will allow us to grow as a club. We hope to have a culture in
place where people can come to the club and enjoy themselves.”
If we are able to reach our goals we at Ridgewood Golf Club believe we can become
sought after for not only golf, but outside functions as well. Also with what we have to
offer we believe that we can create a one of a kind experience for everyone.
The Ridgewood Club will be an eighteen hole semi-private golf course. We will
offer memberships, but also allow the public to play at this beautiful championship
course. The par for the Ridgewood Club will be seventy-two, and the yardage for the
total course will be 6,535 yards. The course will also include a driving range on site along
with a pro shop, restaurant, and ballroom. The par for the front nine will be 36 and the
yardage will be 3,260 yards. For the back nine the par will be 36, and the yardage will be
3,275 yards. The course will have four separate tee markers for golfers to hit from in side
the tee box. It will have red markers for women to hit from, white markers for beginners
– intermediates, blue markers for intermediates – experts, and gold markers for experts
and tournaments players. Memberships will last the full year from January 1, to
December 31, and will vary in cost. For children and teens eighteen and under it will cost
$350 per year. For students in college twenty three and under member ships will cost
$450 per year. For students and children there will be no up front fee. For adults it will
4. cost $10,000 up front for the first year, and then $1,200 for every year after that to renew
the membership. For a family membership it will cost the $10,000 up front plus another
$1,000 for the first year. After the first year it will cost $2,000 for family memberships,
and it will cover up to four people in the family. For day to day rates we will charge $75
in peak times, $65 in non peak times and $50 after 5 o’clock in the dusk period. The
entire prices include the price with a cart, because carts are mandatory here in non
tournament play so we can keep a quick pace on the course.
The reason we choose Sandwich Massachusetts to build Ridgewood Golf Club is
because of its location. The club will be located less then 2 miles off of the mid cape high
way (Route 6). The club will be accessible from many different towns on and off the
cape. On the cape the club is accessible from Falmouth, Barnstable, Bourne, its home
town Sandwich, and even as far down as Dennis. Off the cape the club will be accessible
from Wareham, Plymouth, and as far over the bridge as Carver, or Kingston. With the
club being in an accessible location we feel we will attract members from both sides of
the bridge. Sandwich is the second largest town in Massachusetts behind Plymouth.
Sandwich is home to 20,136 residents. The demographics for Sandwich Massachusetts

The reason we feel this is the proper site is because of the area it is in. It is off of
route 130 which is one of the busier roads in sandwich. The area we are buying to put the
7. club is on the edge of the Otis Air Force Base. The base is going to be shut down and
turned into a homeland security base therefore they will be selling off the land, because
they will not need as much land. Also buying in this area it will allow us extra room to
expand if we wish to turn into a country club. To make it a country club we add houses
along with other amenities to make it a country club. With the club being on a busy road
it makes it a lot easier for potential golfers to reach. Route 130 runs all the way from 6A
across the mid cape down to the Mashpee Falmouth town line. The land in this area is
prime real-estate for a golf course because the land is relatively flat which will allow us
to create any type of landscape for a top of the line golf course.
Some land and environmental considerations we must make are soil testing, core
drilling, grading, accessibility, and utilities. Soil testing is a tool used to assess the status
of soil fertility and the potential for nutrient imbalances in grass. While soil testing has
been around for decades, it's becoming more important because of mandatory nutrient
management programs. Weather and physical factors are always at the top of the plant
stress list. Fortunately, superintendents can control nutrient fertility more easily than
many of the other stress types. Soil testing alone can be risky when assessing turf nutrient
efficiency. Soil testing in conjunction with plant and irrigation water analysis is necessary
if good fertility programs are to be established. Working with a lab or consultant that
exclusively works in turf and gathers a lot of good laboratory and field data can be
invaluable to a superintendent's agronomic success (Wolff, David). Core drilling is
important, because we need to know what we are building on for land and what kind of
architectural designs we need. We will need to make Ridgewood accessible so all
members of the community can enjoy our course, shop, restaurant, and ballroom. Utilities
8. will be spread through the facility, because waste will be filtered in to septic system,
while reusable water will go the water hole and watering the grass.
The Ridgewood Club will satisfy its customers as a semi-private top of the line
golf club. Cape Cod is with out a true grade A golf course and we feel with the building
of this course will give Cape Cod just that. Potential members and customers will be able
to use the golf course, driving range, pro shop, restaurant, and ball room. Potential golfers
will be able to use the course and driving range for golf to warm up or sharpen their
skills. They will be able to use the pro shop for purchasing clubs, balls, and other golf
attire. Also at the pro shop golfers will be able to test different drivers and clubs on the
driving range if they are looking to purchase new clubs. The restaurant will serve
breakfast from 7 am when the course opens to 11am for the early morning golfers. It will
serve lunch from 11am to 4pm for people on the course during the lunch hour. Then it
will serve dinner from 4pm to 11pm for golfers on the course after work. The restaurant
will also be open for everyone outside of the golf community from 7am to 11pm. We
invite all members of the club and all community members to come for breakfast, lunch,
or dinner. The ballroom will be located above the restaurant and pro shop, and be used
for special functions. The ball room will have a dance floor, bar, and elevator so food and
patrons that can not use the stairs can get to the ballroom easily. The ballroom will be
used for weddings, proms, business functions & presentations, and big band concerts.
Customers for this facility will be golfers, community members, high school
students, business looking to host a function, and anyone looking to use the course,
restaurant, or ballroom for some fun entertainment. Keeping all the facilities up to date
we feel that we can attract many members besides golfers to use our facilities. While
9. hosting golf tournaments and functions will allow our facility to grow and become the
golf course to come to on Cape Cod for a long time to come.
The Ridgewood Club needs to be built so that Cape Cod can have a top of the line
championship golf club. With a top of the line golf club that attracts its locals but it will
also increase tourism during the summer for a place that thrives on tourism. Sandwich is
home to three different golf courses such as Sandwich Hollows, Holly Ridge, and The
Ridge Club. Sandwich Hollows is a public course that is an 18 hole par 71 course that
plays 5898 yards. Holly Ridge is also a public course that is an 18 hole par 3 golf course
that plays 2952 yards. The Ridge Club is private 18 hole course that plays 6,640 yards
that has a par of 71. Out of these three golf courses our biggest competitor will Sandwich
Hollows, because it is a public course where golfers can use all their clubs. While the
Ridge Club is a nicer golf course then Sandwich Hollows it is completely private and you
must be a member to play there. While the Ridgewood Club will be nicer then the Ridge
Club, but more expensive then Sandwich Hollows we feel we can corner the market on
Cape Cod in the golfing community. Also to go along with our course we will have
prestigious restaurant and ballroom then the other three courses which we feel will put us
above the other courses. In being a semi-private course so we will offer memberships, but
also allow members of the community to use our golf course and our other amenities. By
allowing not just members but everyone to use our spectacular course we believe it will
put us above Sandwich Hollows and The Ridge Club. The Ridgewood Club will be built
to comply with all American Disabilities Act. Some things we will have to comply with
ADA is ramps if needed however we expect entrances and exits to be level with the
ground, wide stalls in all bathrooms, wide paths, automatic sliding doors, no cabinets
10. under the sink, all handles will be levers so people with disabilities can grip and hold
them, and since the ballroom is on the second floor we will have an elevator between
both floors.
Our potential clients need this facility to be built so they have access to a
championship type golf course with out having to become a member. They will also be
able to access a top of the line restaurant, pro shop, and ballroom. Members will receive
benefits that will be far above any other membership offered on Cape Cod. Some
member benefits will be 10% off at the Ridgewood Restaurant, 5% off the Ridgewood
Pro Shop, two free lessons, less expensive green fee’s, and ten free bucket of balls to the
driving range.
Some programs that will be offered at The Ridgewood Club will be lessons,
tournaments, and banquets. The club will offer lessons to people of all ages so they can
improve their skills, and learn the game golf. Lessons will allow the new golfers to work
with one of the golf pro’s so they can learn the game the proper way from their first
swing on. We will also offer lessons to intermediate and high skilled golfers looking to
refine there game and take it to the next level. The club will also host public and private
tournaments. The public tournaments will consist of the members and anyone who looks
to enter these tournaments. The private tournaments will either be privately organized by
an outside looking to rent the course or the member championship where only members
of the course will be allowed to participate. Additionally, having a ballroom allows the
Ridgewood Club to host banquets from weddings and high school proms, to business
functions.
11. There will be many ancillary areas at the Ridgewood Golf Club like the locker
rooms, bathrooms, maintenance facility, and offices. The locker rooms are a very
important for our members, because this is usually one of the f places they will visit
before or after going on the course. Members usually go into the locker room to change
into golfing attire, use the restroom, or lock up personal belongings they do not want to
bring on the course with them. Bathrooms are another important area, because people no
matter where they go if they use the bathroom will remember it, was it clean, dirty, nice,
or grungy. While the maintenance facility will rarely be seen by members it is still an
important part of the club. Having an up to date maintenance facility and equipment will
keep the course looking pristine. Offices are another important area even though they are
not always seen by our members. In order to attract knowledgeable well-known golf
pro’s we will need to give them nice areas to do their work. With nice well kept and up to
date locker rooms, restrooms, maintenance facility, and offices we know we can keep our
members and staff happy.
Some of the things we will have to make the Ridgewood Club a championship
course will be top of the line maintenance equipment, great interior design, and most
importantly a well designed and built course. The maintenance equipment that the
Ridgewood Club will own will be a complete line of John Deere golf equipment. By
using only John Deere equipment we will only have to go through one place for ordering
and outside maintenance. We will have the following list of equipment:

Along with this major equipment we will also use minor equipment also provided
from the John Deere line such as trimmers, blowers, saws, bunker rakes, and any
necessary attachments. Along with using John Deere maintenance equipment we will be
14. using Club Cars which are one of the top golf cart companies. The model we will be
using on the Ridgewood course is Precedent i2L, which is an electric cart. The reason we
are using an electric cart is to save money on gas and, to be green. Below is a list of specs
on the Precedent i2L electric cart:
Specs
• Horsepower – 3.3
• Power Source – Electric
• Batteries – (6) 8-volt Trojan Batteries
• Charger – 48V variable with on-board computer

(http://www.clubcar.com/Pages/default.aspx)
Inside the club we will sell only what we feel is grade A food, great catering
service, top of the line equipment and accessories. By using only grade A food we can
not only be a competing golf course, but also have a competitive restaurant in the area
that will be open year round. When hosting functions we will offer a catering service, but
it will not be necessary when an individual/firm is renting out the ballroom. By offering
this service it will give the renter more options to use the club. Inside the pro shop by
selling top of line equipment we feel it will legitimatize our pro shop as one of the best on
the cape. Some of the products we will sell in the shop will be made by Footjoy, Titlist,
Callaway, and Taylormade.
While building a golf course is very expensive we feel that overtime we will make
a profit, and be one of the finest golf courses on Cape Cod. Depending on the logistics of
each hole it can cost anywhere from $50,000 to $175,000 to build each hole, and being a
15. championship golf course we will be closer to the $175,000 projection. Building eighteen
holes about $175,000 a hole will bring just the cost of the course to $3,150,000. After
adding the building of the putting green, driving range, golf carts, maintenance facility,
and club house/ballroom we expect the total cost of the project to be somewhere between
$7 million and $10 million. The total includes preliminary cost, architectural fees,
construction costs, insurance costs, contingencies, HVAC, energy systems, interior
systems, exterior systems, and completion/ analysis. Other costs will be confronted by the
Ridgewood ownership group is the affordability of the land, which we feel is very
affordable to build this type of course. Taxes are another consideration that we face, but
we feel all the taxes in this area are justified and reasonable. We will be buying the land
so we completely own the course and do not need to go through the town of sandwich for
major decisions that affect the course.
The way we will be paying for this is a loan from the bank, and they way we get
the loan is by presenting them the idea. Since we are looking to buy about 200 acres and
it is $5,000 an acre it will cost about $1 million for the land. We then put up about 10% to
20% of it cost to buy the land and the bank will lend us the rest. Then we tell the bank it
will cost us to build each hole which will be about $175,000 per hole costing us about
$3.15 million. The we tell them we need another $3 million for the club house, restaurant,
ballroom, maintenance garage, and all equipment to need to make those places run
properly. The reason the bank will give us a loan is because they will want to make
money off the land. If we tell them we expect to have 150 members in our first year of
operation charging the members $10,000 that will give us $1.5 million in membership
dues. If we charge $75 per round of golf and we expect a total of 5,000 golfers a month
16. that will give us $375,000 per month and being open seven months a year that will give
us an estimated $2,625,000 per year of operation only on the golf course. We expect to
make $500,000 a year between our restaurant and ballroom. With everything added up
we expect to make $4,625,000 per year with out paying for maintenance and salaries.
After taking out $1,625,000 expenses we expect to make $3 million a year. After we
present these numbers to a bank we see no reason why we can not get a loan from a bank.
Some outside constituents besides the bank that we will have are lawyers, members from
the golfing community, environmentalist, town mangers, and members of the community.
The reason we will have lawyers is to make sure everything we do is staying with
Massachusetts laws. The reason we will have members from the golfing community is to
make sure that our design will be attractive to all golfers. We will have environmentalist
to make sure we are doing everything we can to make sure we do not affect the
environment in a negative way. We will have town managers to make sure we are
following all town laws and regulations. We will also want community members to be on
our board to make sure the local community agrees with everything that is going during
the construction phase all the way to the grand opening.
We will have to go through a thorough construction phase to make sure
everything is going smoothly and on time. The construction phase of the Ridgewood
Club is as follows:
Programming phase
Design phase- Selecting an Architect
• Licensed to practice
• Good reputation
• References
