1 MEMBERSHIP PLAN

2 JACKSON HOLE GOLF & TENNIS CLUB MEMBERSHIP PLAN OVERVIEW V ISION S TATEMENT The goal of Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club is to provide its members a premier golf and tennis experience and environment. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Tetons and the tranquility of the spectacular terrain, a championship golf course, designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., along with the services of the Club and an impressive new clubhouse and tennis facility provides members a premier club experience. A M ASTERPIECE R EBORN To understand the history of Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club is to build an ever increasing bond with the special place it holds in the Jackson Hole community. The original vision was created in 1963 by Paul McCollister, the developer of the worldrenowned Jackson Hole ski area. Paul commissioned prolific architect Bob Baldock to layout and design the original Golf Club. In 1967, Lawrence Rockefeller and the RockResorts managed Grand Teton Lodge Company purchased the course and immediately began plans to bring world-renowned golf course architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr. to Jackson to completely renovate an already wonderful golf course. With Robert Trent Jones, Jr., just completing tutelage under his famous father, together they went about creating this current world-class golf course nestled along the Gros Ventre River with the grandeur of the Tetons as a breathtaking backdrop. Completed in 1973, and placing among the nation's best courses as rated by Golf Digest Magazine since their rankings began in the 1980's, the Club's timeless architectural design has challenged and brought pleasure to golfers of all skill levels from around the globe for three decades. Having hosted both the USGA National Men's and Women's Public Links Championships as well as dozens of other local, state and regional events, the golf course has withstood the test of time. The future, however, brings a new excitement to this classic golf course. With the purchase of the Club in 1999 by Vail Resorts, there is now the unique opportunity to have Robert Trent Jones, Jr. return to Jackson Hole and refine and enhance the golf course through a significant enhancement renovation. The focus of the renovation will be to update the infrastructure of irrigation and drainage, re-build and renovate bunkers and tees, renovate selected greens and install new golf cart paths. There will also be a number of enhancements to the course for playability and aesthetics to assure that the course will be a pleasure for all skill levels of members and guests. As Mr. Jones indicated, "Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club is a course that I am still as proud of today as the day we finished it. I am thankful for the opportunity to take this great golf course that is so enjoyed by its members and guests and further enhance their enjoyment for many years to come. I can't wait to return and finish the work we began 30 years ago." i
