Golf course staffing added after rounds triple; fees rose about 7%
Summary
Officials said rounds climbed from roughly 10,000 to over 30,000 annually, prompting three full‑time groundskeepers and an operations manager to be added; daily fees rose about 7% effective March 1.
Parks staff reported a large increase in play at the municipal golf course that prompted staffing increases. "We've gone from having 10,000 rounds in a year to over 30,000 rounds in a year," Speaker 7 said to explain adding three full‑time groundskeepers and an operations manager. Staff also said daily fees and some memberships increased roughly 7% on March 1.
Commissioners asked about profitability and capital needs: staff said gross sales were about $40,000 ahead of last year and rounds were roughly 800 ahead compared with the prior year; capital needs include cart‑barn repairs (~$45,000 each) and storage. One commissioner proposed offering resident discounts for people with a Junction City address to reflect taxpayer support; staff confirmed the course is owned and operated by the city.
