This study is not intended as a comprehensive business <br />plan or "feasibility study" but rather as a detailed review of the golf course conditions along <br />with recommendations and cost estimates for improvements. <br />This study was conducted by assessing the existing golf course and by interviewing <br />representatives the Coal Creek GolfAdvisory Board and the Coal Creek Men's and Women's <br />Clubs as well as Director of Parks Recreation Joe Stevens, Golf Course Superintendent <br />Chris Bradford and Western Golf Property's Regional Director of Operations Eric Jensen. <br />The study was conducted under the supervision of Kevin Norby, Owner and President of <br />Herfort Norby Golf Course Architects. <br />Coal Creek Golf Course was designed by golf architect Dick Phelps and opened in 1990. <br />The course is owned by the City of Louisville and is managed by Western Golf P .perties. <br />The course has a spacious routing with good sightlines and nice elevatiop -n. Putting <br />surfaces and tees are generally well positioned and adequat- si: <br />I n order t <br />are <br />particul <br />g f course and determine which improvements <br />nt to first define and understand the niche which a <br />pies or should occupy in the market. <br />Coal Creek would be best defined as a public daily -fee golf course who's primary client <br />base consists of residents of Louisville and golfers traveling from the surrounding <br />communities. The course relies primarily on the sale of season passes and daily green <br />fees for revenue. <br />Because Coal Creek is well designed and generally well maintained, the golf course seems <br />well positioned to function as a public daily -fee golf facility. As such, it is not necessary <br />to make significant changes to the style or character of the course but rather to simply <br />improve playability and conditioning to insure that the course remains enjoyable for a wide <br />range of golfing abilities. <br />Il ivu r; \11 uurY Gu.r- 011-1rse.4xVuur_('IS P.1ce1 0C 1 7. 2011 <br />
