Qualifications and Experience <br />Overview of Proposal <br />For 36 years CourseCo has provided golf course management for municipal golf courses. Starting with Riverside <br />Golf Course, which is owned by the City of Fresno, we have spent well over three decades providing <br />management services with a focus on municipal golf, primarily in California. During that time, we have <br />developed expertise in the public -private partnership necessary for success in municipal golf and feel our <br />experience is perfectly suited for the management of River View Golf Course. We understand the importance <br />of affordable and accessible golf and have also been able to successfully make capital contributions at many of <br />our locations that benefited the golf course and its users as well as the partnership between our City clients <br />and ourselves. <br />Company Description <br />Founded in 1989, CourseCo's sole business activity is turnkey operations of golf courses with a focus in <br />municipal golf. With 46 golf properties under management, we currently have over 2,000 employees <br />producing over $165 million dollars in gross revenue annually for our partners. CourseCo's corporate office is <br />located in Petaluma, California where the majority of our support team is based. In addition, we have <br />executive team members located throughout the state including Visalia, Fresno, Livermore, Sacramento and <br />Monterey. The majority of the golf course portfolio is in California, where the company was founded, with 30 <br />courses under management in the state. The majority of our clients are public agencies, and this is the focus <br />of our company and experience. <br />Since our inception we have operated using Four Core Values to guide the company: <br />1. Financial Performance — Achieving our client's financial objectives is always our first priority. <br />2. Community Inclusion — We believe that a golf course must serve the community in which it lies. <br />This includes the golfer and non -golfer alike and this belief is reflected in our robust calendar of <br />events at all our facilities. <br />3. Environmental Stewardship — As a community partner, we have always stressed that a golf <br />course can provide optimal golf course conditions while employing sustainable methods of <br />turfgrass maintenance. CourseCo is the most honored golf management firm in the country for <br />its environmental practices including having won the President's Award from the Golf Course <br />Superintendent's Association of America in back-to-back years. <br />4. Stakeholder Communication — We have always believed in thorough, consistent and transparent <br />communication with everyone associated with the golf course including City Staff, Elected <br />Officials, Employees, Customer Groups, Home Clubs and all other stakeholders in the enterprise. <br />Through this communication, we build relationships that contribute to the ongoing success and <br />stability of the golf course and entire facility. <br />CourseCo's management technique, which has remained constant and allowed us to continue to stand out <br />from the competition, is our commitment to run each course as an individual entity rather than just one part <br />of a large portfolio. While this means a significant amount of additional work, our results have consistently <br />exceeded expectations over the years. This approach can effectively be broken down into the following areas: <br />COURSECO Page 3 <br />I <br />
