The Gatlinburg Board approved a resolution to change the Gatlinburg Golf Course fee structure from fixed rates to a dynamic pricing model tied to demand and seasonality. Matt, a golf course representative, told the board the resolution sets maximum green fees at $110 for 18 holes and $60 for nine holes after noon; actual rates may be lower depending on demand and weather and require city manager approval for adjustments.
"The purpose of this change is to operate a flexibility and pricing based on market demand, seasonability, key time availability," Matt said. Commissioners moved and seconded the resolution and approved it by voice vote.
Staff framed the change as a way to respond to upcoming projects and operational needs while maintaining oversight and transparency; no specific revenue projections or rate schedules were provided in the meeting transcript.
