Old Tappan golf course posts revenue short of target; irrigation work and resiliency planning set for 2026
Summary
Council reported the golf course finished the year with about $977,268 in revenue and $889,089 in expenses; the council plans an irrigation overhaul and resiliency plan to stabilize memberships and revenue.
Council reports showed the Old Tappan Golf Course ended the year with roughly $977,268 in revenue and $889,089 in expenses, falling short of the borough's $1,000,000 revenue goal. The council said weather contributed to lower rounds and revenue; the course had 264 members at year-end and 14 new members joined late in the year.
Council members said the course will pursue a resiliency plan in 2026, including bids to revamp irrigation systems (the current mains lack shutoff valves, complicating repairs) and to complete a remaining bunker project. "We were really going for 1,000,000. We didn't make it," a council member said; the council also reported a goal of $1.1 million for next year and a meeting scheduled with the golf manager to set strategy.
