Title
Resolution to Modify Fees at the City Golf Courses Effective for the 2009 Golf Season and Increase the Senior Citizen Qualification Age
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to modify fees and increase the senior citizen qualification age at the City golf courses for the 2009 golf season.
The City Council appointed Golf Courses Advisory Task Force reviewed golf fees for Huron Hills and Leslie Park Golf Courses as part of the process of evaluating the 2008 golf season. In an effort to increase junior and senior play at both courses, reductions in daily play fees and season pass fees for juniors and seniors are recommended. The introduction of an “adult and youth” fee is also proposed. Three fees have a proposed increase : high school 9 holes and 18 holes, to be in line with the junior 9 and 18 rate, and twilight at Leslie Park as the course is at capacity during this time.
In its December 2007 report the City’s golf consultant, Golf Convergence, Inc., recommended increasing the senior citizen qualification age to 56 for 2008 and to increase the threshold by one year each year thereafter until the age to qualify for senior rates is established at 62. It is therefore recommended that the senior citizen qualification age be established as 57 for the 2009 season.
