Having been a member at numerous country clubs over the years when a major rennovation as this was undertaken the membership was always in the loop as to what was being undertaken and what the improvement would mean tho the quality of the course. Is this a secret or have I just missed the announcement?

I am not aware of any new grass, bermuda or other that does not go dormant in the cooler winter temps. The exception being golf courses in the southernmost part of Florida. And that grass is usually 419 bermuda like most courses use. You can google varying opinions on overseeding from turf professionals and golf course superintendents. It's appears to me that with the high amount of play our courses have in the winter, overseeding is a necessity.
As for Glenview, ask the head professional, ask the staff, call golf course management. I doubt that it's a big secret.
