Bylaw Amendment Petition
This petition is to add the following amendment to The Club at Castlewood Bylaws per Section 17.1 of the Club at Castlewood Bylaws:
"No changes shall be made nor implemented, in the operations and governance of The Club at Castlewood, by the board, management, staff or contractors, that eliminates, reduces, diminishes, or encroaches on the rights, privilege's, and enjoyment of the golf course access afforded to the Primary Regular Member(s) of The Club at Castlewood, until such time the changes and implementation have been approved by a majority vote from the Primary Regular Membership via an Official Ballot."
The necessity for this petition arises from the recent 10/17/23 Golf Policy Update that was initiated without Official Regular Member vote either by Ballot or Special Meeting, which resulted in the filing of a 98-member signed petition on 10/25/23 requesting that the matter be resolved through an Official Club vote.
A disagreement exists between (1) the signers of the petition and (2) those who approved the Golf Committee’s recommended Golf Policy Change due to their intention to enact such change without an Official Regular Member vote.
The purpose of this proposed bylaw amendment is to remove any ambiguity surrounding the implementation of potential golf course access changes that impact the existing rights and privileges of the Primary Regular Member(s) without an Official Membership vote.
This petition takes no position to any potential course access changes, only that revisions affecting the Primary Regular Member(s) be vetted through an Official Regular Member vote.
- CCCBylaws.12.1.8.22 Section 17.1 Amendments to Bylaws (4) - By a majority of the Regular Members voting at a special meeting or by ballot, pursuant to a petition of twenty percent (20%) or more of the Regular Members in Good Standing addressed to the Board of Directors.
- 527 Regular Members as shown in 11/16/23 Solar Project Ballot Certification. 20% = 106 signatures needed.

I have spent the last few days talking to members who feel just as sidelined as I do by these recent policy shifts. It is clear that we value the integrity of our club rules and deserve a seat at the table when our access is on the line.

Seeing this level of support confirms that I am not the only one frustrated by how our club governance is currently handled. This backing proves that we all deserve a seat at the table when it comes to protecting our access to the course.

The board needs to be held accountable. We pay a lot for these dues and should have a say in how the course is run.
100% agree. Stop making changes behind closed doors.
I am against this amendment. I agree that the change in non-primary member hours should have been put to a vote. The term "rights, privilege's, and enjoyment" is very subjective opening the club to the smallest claim that the leadership didn't follow its bylaws. Raising bar prices certainly affects my enjoyment. It shouldn't require a member vote. We need to focus on electing board members that follow our values and is committed to the members that contribute a majority of the money required by the club.
Strongly feel there should not be any changes to the current structure, big reason I decided to join vs. Diablo as I reside in Danville
This is a good change. Without this, the value of my membership is decreased.

This is long overdue. Tired of the board doing whatever they want without checking with the members first. Count me in.
