Exhibit 10.Neighborhood Outreach SummaryJanuary 24, 2025
Dear Neighbor:
Happy New Year! I hope you and your family are well. On behalf of La Rinconada Country Club,
I wanted to update you on the status of the Club and our long-term golf course modernization
efforts. We are proud of our continued stewardship of one of the largest open spaces in the
Town of Los Gatos and enduring support for the larger community as one of its oldest
institutions. We are now looking forward to investing for the next generation.
Over the past several years, we have been planning a golf course modernization project that will
make us more environmentally sustainable, responsible, and enjoyable for future generations.
While the fairways, greens and bunker updates are not anticipated to begin until Spring 2026,
we wanted to reach out to you early to share our plans, answer any questions and try to
address any concerns you may have.
Golf Course Modernization Goals & Overview
While clubhouse reconstruction and the pool and fitness center addition were completed in the
last twenty years, the golf course has not been comprehensively modernized to ensure long
term sustainability since the early 1990s. Golf courses typically require major rehabilitation after
a 30-year period because fairways grasses become compromised and irrigation and drainage,
especially around greens and bunkers, begin to fail. Many other courses in the region have
gone through similar renovations recently.
Our plan will upgrade the fairways with more drought tolerant grasses, update greens and
establish new bunker infrastructure. We will also be adding native, drought-tolerant and climate
responsive trees and installing a more efficient irrigation system that will reduce our water usage
by 30%-40%. Paved cart paths are being scaled back to dramatically reduce the amount of
impervious surface on the property and we will be adjusting the internal Clearview entry drive
slightly. We will also be re-numbering some holes to improve flow and course play.
The Club’s primary goal is improve our sustainability and operate responsibly in the community.
In addition, we also strive to be a good neighbor and minimize disruption during construction
and with ongoing operations. I’ve included a brief overview below for you.
No Club Expansion Proposed
No changes are proposed for the driving range, clubhouse, pool/fitness center, parking area, or
maintenance facility, and no expansion of the course or membership capacity, events, traffic or
intensity of the use is planned or proposed as part of this course modernization project. With the
exception of a small restroom/comfort station on the interior of the site there will be no building
construction so typical construction noise that comes with structures will not be part of the
project. While the course will be closed to play for the entire modernization process, the
clubhouse and pool and fitness center will remain open during the course construction period
during 2026 & 2027.
EXHIBIT 10
Golf Course Modernization Activity & Timing
In Spring 2026, following approval from the Town, we plan to progress sequentially from hole to
hole so only small portions of the property will experience construction activity at any single
point in time during the 7-8 month construction period. To minimize disruption for our
neighbors, upgrades will last approximately two to four weeks per hole, depending on the hole
location. Once complete, there will be a 5-6 month grass grow-in period.
While contouring/grading will occur to create a new layout, any earth moving will balance on site
so no major import or export of soil is required to complete the project, which will minimize
construction traffic. Limited construction equipment will be brought to the site once at the
beginning of the project via the Wedgewood gate and remain on site for the duration of the
project. Construction materials will be staged on site as well and construction workers will park
on site as well during construction, minimizing any potential neighborhood disruption.
Drought Tolerant Grasses & Trees
The Club currently maintains over 1,100 mature trees across its property. The new drought
tolerant turfgrass we have selected requires more sunlight to perform than our current shade
tolerant turf. The excessive shade produced by our trees today will prevent these new drought
tolerant grasses from growing successfully and contributing to our targeted water use
reductions. In order to achieve our water reduction goals and course layout plan, we need to
remove a range of non-native, failing and/or fire prone eucalyptus and coast redwoods that were
planted on site in the 1950’s and beyond. We plan tree replacement with new native and
drought tolerant trees, mostly Oak trees consistent with the historic native landscapes of the
area. The net result is that the property will remain with approximately 1,100 trees, similar to
the number of trees on site today; however, in more thoughtful locations that will enable a
successful transition to the new water saving fairway grasses.
Next Steps
Because we share a fence line as neighbors, I would like to schedule time with you personally
at your convenience to walk you through the overall plans, the work planned for the hole
adjacent to your home and tentative timing of construction activity near you in 2026. We will
also be hosting neighbor Open Houses in the coming months to share the plans as well so look
for a mailed invitation soon. To keep updated on the latest related to the project, you can also
visit our golf course modernization webpage on our club website with information about the
project at www.larinconadacc.com.
Please let me know your availability to get together and preferred place to meet. I’m happy to
host you at the Club or come over to your house. In the interim, if you have any questions or
would like additional information, please contact me directly at 408-402-7468 or via email at
akimball@larinconadacc.com.

Andy Kimball, PGA

The Club currently maintains over 1,100 mature trees across its property. The new drought
tolerant turfgrass requires more sunlight than we currently have on site. Select trees in specific
locations will prevent new grasses from growing successfully due to excessive shading. In order
to achieve our water reduction goals and course layout plan, we need to remove a range of non-
native, failing and/or fire prone eucalyptus and coast redwoods that were planted in the 1950s
and beyond. We plan tree replacement with new native and drought tolerant trees, mostly Oak
trees consistent with the historic landscapes of the area. The net result is that the property will
remain with approximately 1,100 trees, similar to the number of trees on site today; however, in
more thoughtful locations that will enable a successful transition to the new water saving fairway
grasses.
