Pleasant View Golf Course reports steady unaudited finances and debates post‑league play access
Summary
Committee reviewed unaudited Q4 financials that matched earlier estimates and heard that the course is hiring summer staff; members debated four options for public play after league periods, and the committee received a brief stormwater update tied to the clubhouse master plan.
Jeremy presented the Q4 2025 financial reports, noting they are not yet audited but that year‑end numbers align with his prior estimates and nothing in the reports appeared alarming.
“These are not the audited final financials,” Jeremy said, but added that the numbers are similar to projections and that bookings, leagues and planned hires point to a busy season ahead. He told members the course is hiring limited‑term summer staff and that booking demand remains high.
On operations, Jeremy described current tee‑time intervals (Monday–Thursday 10 minutes; Friday–Sunday 12 minutes) and outlined four options for managing play after league sessions: keep existing operations, restrict public play to pass holders, reduce green fees with a waiver that warns customers they may finish behind leagues, or block off time after leagues. He said staff is leaning toward keeping access open but is still evaluating options.
“I don’t want to close it off because then it gives the public the perception that Pleasant View is never open,” Jeremy said, explaining staff concerns about discounts and customer perception. Committee members discussed trade‑offs between customer experience and staff workload and asked staff to continue evaluating options.
Jeremy also shared a statewide economic study saying the golf industry in Wisconsin represents about $6.5 billion in economic activity; he suggested the figure highlights the course's broader community role. The committee discussed sharing that study with city staff.
Separately, the clubhouse master plan remains in early stages; the consultant has traced impervious surfaces back to about 2000 and will run a stormwater analysis for proposed work. Committee members asked to be notified when the consultant’s analysis is available.
No formal policy changes were adopted during this meeting. Members agreed to continue discussing post‑league options and to await the consultant's stormwater analysis before advancing the clubhouse master plan.
