Golf Course
I: 8.3 Alternative Service Deliverv ODtions
Privatization of the Golf Course
Finding: The City could contract with a golf management firm to run the Golf
E Club but it cannot sell the valuable land to such a firm. If a private firm did manage
the Golf Club, possibly the firm would resolve the problems mentioned above. If that
I] were done, there is a strong likelihood that the costs per member would go up
I significantly and the golfers would see a significant increase in their fees. Currently, the
Golf Club is a very well run and efficient operation. Turning it over to a private company
11 is not likely to significantly improve an excellent operation. Currently, many of the daily
operations of the clubhouse are privatized and these operations should continue to be
administered as they are now.
L Recommendation # 26: Do not contract the golf club with a private management
firm at this time. Continue the privatization of selected clubhouse functions.
