The KSD Group was hired in October of 1998 to restructure the development and construction of a golf course and related facilities that had been underway for over a year. The project consisted of a nine-hole golf course containing three lakes, including a state-of-the-art drainage and irrigation system, the new construction of a 36-person driving range and range ball shack, a new maintenance facility and associated yards and storage, a new clubhouse, pro shop and restaurant facility, and the remodel of an existing structure for cart storage, maintenance, and pumphouse.

At the time KSD was hired by Yountville Associates, the majority of the work on the golf course, the three lakes and irrigation system was complete; however, permits had not yet been obtained for any of the new structures, and construction had not yet commenced for these facilities. The project was over one year behind in its original schedule for opening, and budgets for the new construction were inadequate and outdated.
