Golf Course Advisory Board Minutes <br />May 5 2014 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br />6 Presentation by Jim Keegan <br />The majority of the slides presented by Mr. Keegan can be seen on the City <br />Website: <br />http://www.louisvilleco.gov/Portals/0/Boards%20&%20Commissions/Current%20Ag <br />endas%20Packets/currentgolfcoursepacket.pdf <br />However Mr. Keegan presented some charts which were not in the publicly <br />posted packet including many financial charts and a chart outlining his and <br />staff’s view of the role of the GCAB. Chairman Gambon requested that Mr. <br />Keegan and / or Joe Stevens provide the GCAB Board members all the <br />charts that Mr. Keegan presented. <br />Discussion of the slides took place as follows: <br /> Mr. Keegan distilled the inputs from all board members into the <br />following Vision Statement and the Board approved this for <br />presentation to City Council <br />Celebrating <br />o mining history, Coal <br />Creek Golf Course encircles <br />a nature preserve with stunning vistas to the quality of life for a <br />community featuring diverse aorecreational interests centered <br />on an exciting experience to individuals of varied ability on a <br />foundation that is self- sustaining. <br /> Historically Coal Creek Golf Course generated an annual revenue of <br />$1.7M which compares very favorably with the $1.2M for the average <br />municipal course <br /> The average revenue per round is $28.80 which equates to 60% of the <br />rack rate <br /> Most factors are favorable to the success of the course: for example, <br />the slope rating of 135 which is in the top 15% in terms of municipal <br />course difficulty. A selection of tees will allow the course to be <br />pleasurable for golfers of all abilities. The only challenge is being able <br />to generate a sufficient number of revenue rounds. <br /> We should maximize the use of technology. Airline websites were <br />quoted as examples of good access – the first page of the site takes <br />you directly to reservations. The new City website will include a Golf <br />course website hopefully using this principle as a guideline. The Board <br />asked staff for a link to a website created by the selected contractor so <br />we could see how this can be implemented <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 />
