These fees <br />would go into effect on January 1, 2020. This agenda item reflects past Council <br />direction to review fees annually and increase fees incrementally. <br /> <br />Coal Creek Golf Course (CCGC) <br />CCGC implemented dynamic pricing in 2019. With this pricing philosophy the <br />actual price of the round of golf is dictated by the demand in the market for that <br />particular tee time. There is a base rate and then the price fluctuates within a <br />range based on demand. <br /> <br />CCGC staff presented three fee options to the City Finance Committee and the <br />Recreation Advisory Board.
