Golf community reports strong season and demand to council during public comment
Summary
An advisory board member spoke during public comment to thank the council for support of the municipal golf course, reported roughly 30,000 rounds this season, a large wait list for tournaments, and plans to expand youth programming; the speaker credited management and upcoming superintendent changes for improvements.
During the public comment portion of the March 28 McCall City Council meeting a member of the golf course advisory community thanked the council for support and reported a strong season for the municipal course.
The speaker said the course saw about 30,000 rounds this season, described that number as “a darn good number” given a roughly five‑month playable season, and noted the course had been partially closed for renovation earlier in the year. He said renewal of a superintendent and staff adjustments contributed to higher play and that there were long wait lists for tournaments: “we had 300 people on the wait list,” he said.
The speaker told council the men’s association and other community groups will contribute financially to youth programming and first‑tee initiatives for non‑high‑school golfers. He also praised recent restaurant and simulator businesses on the site for generating revenue and increasing activity.
Why it matters: the comments provide council with community perspective on course usage, revenue and programming demand; the advisory board’s report highlights potential opportunities for expanded play and youth outreach. No formal action was taken during public comment.
Provenance: the public comment is recorded at the start of the meeting transcript (approximate transcript time ~2446.8–2966.8), where the speaker provided the seasonal metrics, wait-list numbers and program notes.
