4 SECTION 1 PROPERTY INFORMATION Untapped Opportunities RENDERING FOR POSSIBLE PRO SHOP As the sister course to Wilderness Valley Black Forest has functioned without the use of its own pro shop. Current owners have considered building a pro shop. The rendering above is one of the options that was considered. The addition of a full service pro shop should increase the revenue generation capability of the course. Based on a report from the Golf Course Superintendent Association of America, an 18-hole golf facility, which includes bodies of water, hard structures and out-of-play areas, averages about 150 to 200 acres. Typical urban golf courses are about 110 to 120 acres, while courses in resort areas may be 170 to 190 acres. At close to 400 acres Black Forests is twice the size of a typical resort course. The additional land should provide the opportunity for the next owner to identify build-able lots and work with a developer to generate additional income from golf course lots. 4

Slopes and mounding plus plentiful elevation changes result in frequent uneven lies with the ball often located below or above the feet, or in sidehill situations. The undulating and crowned greens are incredibly fun, and incredibly challenging. 5
