LOCKEFORD GOLF CLUB AND VINEYARDS FACT SHEET <br /> Chatfield Vineyards and Golfco Incorporated are proposing to build a premiere and unique <br /> public golf course for the residents of San Joaquin and Sacramento Counties to enjoy. <br /> The Lockeford Golf Course is a well designed project that no only incorporated the <br /> various ingredients necessary to build an 18-hole Championship golf course, but allows <br /> the natural beauty and productivity of San Joaquin County's wine country to remain an <br /> integral part of the overall landscape. <br /> * The proposed Lockeford Golf Club is a 170-acre public golf course to be surrounded by <br /> 150 acres of productive vineyards. It is located approximately 1.5 miles south of <br /> Lockeford and 112 mile north of Kettleman Lane on the east side of Highway 88. <br /> * The land is currently zoned Ag-40 and does allow for a golf under the current zoning. In <br /> addition, the proposed site does not fall under the Williamson Act. This will not be a <br /> residential development. <br /> * While the land is currently used to farm 106 acres of Tokay grapes and 198 acres of <br /> walnuts, both crops were planted in the early 1940's and are virtually sterile due to <br /> disease and age. The proposed Lockeford Golf Club will include 150 acres of newly- <br /> planted Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes. <br /> * Golfco Incorporated is a Northern California based company and has extensive experience <br /> in the design, construction and management of golf course facilities. Golfco intends to <br /> design and build this project with the highest and best use of the ground for both the <br /> vineyard and golf course. Two of the most renown courses designed by Golfco include <br /> the Chardonnay Club in Napa, California and the Spanish Bay Golf Club in Pebble Beach, <br /> California. <br /> * The Lockeford Golf Club will include eighteen holes, driving range, club house, <br /> maintenance and golf cart storage facilities, and parking lot. The club house will include <br /> a pro-shop, snack bar, restrooms and an office. In addition, two existing barns on the <br /> property will be restored and used to accommodate a golf cart storage unit and <br /> maintenance building. <br /> * After extensive and thorough research, the proposed site does not violate or affect any <br /> biological resources, environmental acts, or endangered species. There are no <br /> documented endangered plants or animals on the property and proper traffic control <br /> easures have already been mitigated to the fullest extent possibl <br /> 18 <br /> Formore on, please carrta Chaeld l�westments at(209)333-.1818.
