Burlington Country Club

Overview

I. History

In the early 1920’s, members of the Waubanakee Golf Club (formerly located west of Shelburne Road in South Burlington) acquired 150 acres of land from the Fairholt Estate to establish a golf course in Burlington. They retained the most famous golf course architect of the day, Donald J. Ross, to design their new course. Ross, the Scottish-born golf course architect is credited with designs for nearly 400 golf courses in the U.S. and Canada including Pinehurst No. 2 and Southern Pines. The original Donald Ross layout for the Burlington Country Club, with the prospectus and bond offering, reside in the Clubhouse.

Burlington Country Club (BCC) opened in 1924, and is the oldest continuous operating golf course in Chittenden County. In 1998, the course underwent an extensive restoration under the guidance of the renowned golf architectural firm of Hurdzan-Fry. The course restoration specifically maintained and preserved the character of the original Donald Ross design.

The Clubhouse underwent several modifications and expansions over the years. In 2010, the Grill Room was renovated, a Member Dining Room and outdoor patio were added and the locker rooms were remodeled. The Pro Shop and cart storage facilities were added in 1994. In 2024, Burlington Country Club will be celebrating its Centennial Year.

II. Governance

Burlington Country Club is a private, membership country club, governed by a nine-member Board of Directors (BOD). Each year at the annual membership meeting, three Directors are elected for a three-year term by the voting members of the Club. The BOD elects a Club President, who also acts as the Chairman of the BOD, a Club Secretary and a Club Treasurer, each of whom serve a one-year term. The President, Secretary and Treasurer, as officers of the Club, report to the BOD.

The BOD has three standing committees: Audit, Nominating, and Governance. The BOD has also designated and established the following committees: Buildings & Grounds, Golf, House, Human Resources & Administration, Strategic Planning & Membership, and Finance. Each committee is chaired by a member of the BOD and five (5) to nine (9) Club members appointed by the BOD. Each committee has specific duties delegated to it in their committee charters and by the BOD and provides the BOD with input and recommendations on policy and operational

3

matters as requested by the President or BOD. All committees serve in an advisory capacity to the BOD unless specifically authorized by the BOD to act on the BOD’s behalf. Club members are encouraged to join any of the Club’s committees. Members wishing to be considered for committee membership may contact the respective committee chair directly or send a written request through Member Services.

The BOD, with the Club President acting as its liaison, oversees the General Manager (GM). The GM oversees the day-to-day operations and management of the Club. Reporting to the GM are Senior Managers for: Golf, Food and Beverage, Buildings and Grounds, Administration and Sales. The GM is hired by the BOD, reports directly to the BOD and has his or her annual performance review carried out by the BOD.

Any club member seeking to be nominated to the BOD should apply in writing to the Nominating Committee prior to July 15th. Although not a requirement, the BOD believes that prior committee experience prepares an individual for service on the BOD and recommends that any Club member first serve on a committee before applying for nomination to the BOD.

A list of the current BOD, Club officers and, committees, including the chairs and members of all committees is found on the BCC website at www.burlingtoncountryclub.org.

III. Member Responsibilities

Every member shall be familiar with, support and abide by the rules and regulations of the Club including the Dress Code and Code of Conduct. Members shall be respectful and courteous to other members and staff and conscientious in protecting the physical assets of the Club.

Members are encouraged to share constructive feedback with the BOD. In the event of any dissatisfaction with the operation of the Club, members should address their concerns to the GM or BOD, but should not interject themselves into the operations of the Club and/or attempt to give direction to the senior managers or any employee of the Club. Though members are encouraged to bring their concerns to any BOD member, no BOD member is authorized to individually resolve any such complaint or other issue. The BOD will review the situation and take appropriate action following a thorough investigation, if warranted.

As a membership Club, all members are encouraged to actively participate in member recruitment. New members receive an initial orientation coordinated by a Senior Manager or staff member after acceptance into the Club.

The BCC caters to golf and social events for both members and non-members. The membership is expected to be courteous and respectful to anyone or any organization that has reserved a portion of the Club for a Club or private event and allow them privacy during their event.

A Club member will be eligible to request a one-year leave of absence no more frequently than once every seven years.

In addition, medical conditions of immediate family members which cause unduly or extended absense from the Club may be considered by the BOD in granting a medical leave of absence.

Circumstances necessitating a medical leave of absence may occur without warning. Under these conditions, a member may request a medical leave after their annual dues have been paid. The amount of annual dues refunded to that member will be determined based on the date of the request. All Individual Golf, Family Golf, Intermediate Individual Golf and Intermediate Family Golf members on a medical leave of absence are required to maintain a Social membership while on leave, subject to Social member annual dues and annual Clubhouse minimum charges and any assessments billed to members during the leave of absence.

Request prior to April 1, provides for a 100% refund

Request prior to July 1, provides for a 50% refund

No refunds will be granted for requests after July 1st

Restrictions and Privileges While on Regular or Medical Leave

Members on a leave of absence are excluded from the use of the golf course except as Social members, whose use of the golf course, to which guest fees will apply, is limited to three (3) 18-hole rounds or six (6) 9-hole rounds per year.

Members on leave will not be permitted to participate as a guest, or otherwise, in Club sponsored golf tournaments or leagues. Members on approved leave of absence may use the Club’s practice facilities.

Reinstatement of Member Returning from a Leave

A member may return to any level of Club membership from a medical leave of absense during the current season if a vacancy on the roster is available. The member will be responsible for the pro-rated member dues to reflect the length of the remaining golf season. At the conclusion of a leave of absence in which the member remained on leave for the entire year, the member will automatically be placed on the Wait List for re-entry into the Club subject to vacancies on the Club roster. Members will be reinstated in the order that the request for reinstatement was received in the business office.

Members on a medical leave will have priority followed by those on a regular leave. If the member on leave can not be reinstated the following year due to a full Club roster, he/she will remain on a leave of absence at no penalty to that member, until such time as their applicable membership is reinstated.

Readmission of Former Individual, Family, or Intermediate Members

A former Individual Golf, Family Golf, Intermediate Individual Golf or Intermediate Family Golf member, who left the Club as a member in good standing, may apply for admission to the Club as a former golf member. Subject to any future changes in policy relating to initiation fees by the BOD in its sole discretion, a former Individual Golf or Family Golf member, who has previously paid an initiation fee, will not be required to pay a second initiation fee upon reapplying and rejoining the Club. However, unless waived by the BOD, any former Individual Golf, Family

13

Golf, Intermediate Individual Golf or Intermediate Family Golf member who is readmitted as a golf member after one season, or portion thereof, of not being a member of the Club shall be deemed to have taken an unauthorized leave of absence and shall be responsible for payment of any Social membership dues and assessments during said year prior to rejoining the Club. Any former Individual Golf, Family Golf, Intermediate Individual Golf or Intermediate Family Golf member, who reapplies for a golf membership after a year of being a Social member, shall be responsible for payment of the difference between the amount of any assessments paid as a Social member and the amount of assessments said member would have paid had he/she maintained her golf membership prior to rejoining the Club as a golf member, unless waived by the BOD.

Membership Admissions

Applicants are added to the Wait List as either an Individual Golf or Family Golf member. In order to secure a position on the Wait List, the BOD may require that all, or a portion of, the initiation fee (non-refundable) in effect at that time accompany the completed application form. Once payment and application has been received the applicant is placed in chronological order corresponding to the date in which the application was received. The Applicant will immediately become a Social member and be responsible for current Social membership annual dues, Clubhouse minimums and assessments. Applicants will be notified as openings become available.
