Attracting Prospective Members


                                    At the same time, the Club must also understand that we will experience some attrition each year.  Whether

                                    members move away, decide to leave the Club, or unfortunately, pass away, we must plan for continued
                                    membership growth and turnover to remain financially viable in the years ahead.  As such, the Club must balance

                                    the needs of the current membership with those of prospective members – specifically, young professionals with
                                    families, as they are the future of the Club and have different priorities than generations past.  Today, lifestyles are

                                    shifting and the decision to join a private club is often made by the family as a whole. This means we must be
                                    prepared to offer modern programs, facilities, and amenities that respond to multi-generational interests, and

                                    ultimately strike a balance between golf and recreational investments.





                                    Key Planning Considerations


                                    After several months of planning, the Board and LRP reached a consensus on a conceptual plan, potential
                                    phasing, related cost estimates, and visioning images.  These plans have been presented to the membership in

                                    membership meetings, Peer Group meetings and on the VCC website.


                                    This booklet provides details on the Capital Plan elements, associated program costs, long-term funding model,
                                    implementation timeline, and individual member investment.  The Long Range Planning Committee and the

                                    Board of Governors strongly endorse the Capital Plan, as we believe it will allow VCC to remain very attractive to
                                    new members, while, most importantly, satisfy the needs and desires of our current members.  After revieing this

                                    booklet, we hope that you are excited and pleased with our efforts to enhance the experience for every member at

                                    the Valdosta Country Club for generations to come.
