Summary

The Redmond City Council authorized a contract renewal with CourseCo to operate Juniper Golf Course through Dec. 31, 2030, incorporating council requests for customer-service metrics, junior-golf programming and a compliance team.

The Redmond City Council authorized the city manager to enter into a management contract with CourseCo Inc. for operation of Juniper Golf Course through Dec. 31, 2030, following 18 months of negotiations and amendments to address council priorities on customer service, junior golf and reinvestment of CourseCo funds.

Maria Ramirez, special projects and natural resource program manager, summarized changes staff negotiated with CourseCo and said the contract adds routine compliance checks: at least twice-monthly check-ins involving a member of the golf committee, a councilor and city staff. Ramirez said the revised contract reflects council direction to measure customer-service metrics, expand junior-golf offerings, and reinvest CourseCo—s $150,000 contribution into revenue-generating improvements.

CourseCo CEO Michael Sharp thanked staff and council and said the company was "excited about the next chapter for Juniper." Councilors praised staff work to reach agreement and voted to authorize the manager to sign the contract, extending management through Dec. 31, 2030.

Outcome: Motion to authorize the contract passed by voice vote. Staff will implement the compliance team and proceed under the amended contract terms.
