THE VOICE OF THE MEMBERSHIP The Facilities Opinion Survey was distributed after the virtual Town Hall presentations were conducted in late March of 2020. Roughly 400 members participated in these virtual presentations. The Opinion Survey was completed by 747 members with the goal to gain a better understanding of the interests of our membership concerning the future direction of Baltimore Country Club. This survey tested members’ satisfaction with the proposed Phase 1 clubhouse project. The majority of all respondents were in favor of the Club’s Phase 1 project.

EAST TERRACE ROOM
Weather permitting, this room offers an indoor/outdoor open air experience with a NanaWall™ providing stunning views of our Championship East Course. The new East Terrace Room will be connected to the new main bar and to the existing Terrace Room. Currently, this space is the bluestone tented outdoor dining area between the Tillinghast Room and Tap Room Porches.
▶ What is a NanaWall™? NanaWall™ is a folding glass door system offering clean-lined aesthetics with narrow profiles for unobstructed views NanaWall™ offers these benefits: • Quality craftsmanship backed by rigorous testing and high-grade materials • Open and close with ease, with one-handed operation • Highly secure tamper resistant locks create a secure multi-point connection • Energy-efficient when closed to maintain consistent comfort on the inside • Specialized seals and sill designs combat wind, rain, and extreme weather

NEWLY RENOVATED TERRACE ROOM
The existing Terrace Room will be refreshed to include a petite bar and expanded social space with soft seating by the fireplace. Both the Terrace Room and the new East Terrace Room will share a NanaWall™, which will act as a partition between the two rooms. This multifunctional space will be perfect for dining, cocktailing, Club events, card playing, and private functions.
WINE ROOM
The new Wine Room includes private member wine/cigar lockers. This room will offer an intimate dining ambiance with an elegant wine display. This new temperature-controlled wine display will allow the Club to expand our beverage program and provide more wine options and variety.

The Lifestyle Facilities Master Plan requires that we view Phase 1 through the lens of the Master Plan to understand what investments must be made today for expanded growth later. Additionally, the Five Farms clubhouse was built in 1964 and contains some conditions from its original construction such as the HVAC system that must also be addressed. To help better understand some of these issues, we have included the chart below for members to see the financial implications on the total cost of Phase 1.

CAPITAL Dues Throughout the planning process for Phase 1 of the Lifestyle Facilities Master Plan, the Board of Governors and Finance Committee have been committed to developing a financing model for the project that would create a revenue stream allowing the Club to introduce a transformational project while minimizing the financial impact to our members. The total cost of the project will be funded substantially by capital dues introduced on March 1, 2021 to avoid any impairment of the annual capital budget that provides funds for the maintenance of existing facilities and equipment. Capital dues will provide approximately $1.2 million in additional annual cash flow that will be used to service approximately $11 million in new bank debt that the Club will borrow to complete the construction of Phase 1, currently estimated at $13.25 million. The initial $2.25 million in project costs will be funded with existing cash resources and capital dues generated prior to the completion of Phase 1. The Club anticipates the new bank debt will have a 15-year term but our current cash flow models project repaying the debt in approximately nine years.
