Golf Course Advisory Board Minutes <br />May 5 2014 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br /> <br /> Mr. Keegan pointed out that using comp rounds of golf for <br />o <br />course employees could result in a liability for the council from <br />non-reporting of earnings <br /> Mr. Keegan suggested that the practice of allowing loyalty club <br />o <br />members to book 14 days in advance should be modified so <br />that early bookings generate maximum revenue from the public <br />paying full rack rate <br /> Chairman Gambon congratulated Chris Bradford for keeping the <br />o <br />golf course in good shape but noted that Western Golf had <br />severely limited the resources Chris was allowed to deploy. Mr <br />Keegan’s chart showed that Coal Creek spent 27% on golf <br />course maintenance (manpower + expense) compared to 40% <br />for the bottom 25% of courses and 45% for the “Silver” courses <br />that we are trying to emulate. <br /> There were several discussions on the competition and what <br />o <br />offerings and rates they have been charging this season. <br />Chairman Gambon referenced Riverdale Dunes and Knolls <br />punched card pricing and resident versus non-resident rates as <br />an example where our costs seemed out of line. Additionally he <br />stated that more than 50% of golfers at Coal Creek walk and <br />raising the rates to $19 or $20 per person per cart would be a <br />disincentive to rent carts. <br /> It was the Board view that additional competitive analysis should <br />o <br />be done and reviewed with the Board so that we can further <br />understand Coal Creek golf course offerings that Mr. Keegan <br />and City staff are proposing including golf cart rental rates, <br />punched cards, <br />7 Special Meeting <br /> Kevin Norby will attend an open house, on Friday, May 16, 2015 at 5:00 <br />PM, at the clubhouse so project status and specific questions can be <br />addressed relative to cart paths (realignment), tree planting and course <br />playability when the course re-open in 2015. <br /> Joe Stevens was asked by Chairman Gambon if he could arrange for a <br />tour of the golf course the afternoon of 5/16 a few hours prior to the <br />community meeting for any GCAB members who can be available. Joe <br />agreed to schedule and advise. <br /> <br />·· <br />Parks and Recreation Department 749 Main Street Louisville, CO 80027 <br />· <br />(303) 335-4735 FAX (303) 335-4738 <br />www.louisvilleco.gov <br />Parks Recreation Senior Services O <br />Golf <br />
