Plainview Country Club reports small revenue gain; seeks $5 increase for non‑member private-cart fee
Summary
Justin Cantwell, chairman of the Plainview Country Club board, reported a roughly 2% revenue increase from 2024 to 2025, discussed course and facility repairs and asked council to approve raising the non‑member private-cart fee from $15 to $20 and outlined a $65/month non‑member player program.
Justin Cantwell, chairman of the Plainview Country Club board, presented the club’s 2025 annual report and told the City Council the club saw a "total revenue increase of around 2% from '24 to '25." He reviewed operational changes (new golf pro, staffing adjustments, pool and bridge repairs) and cited 14,025 rounds played in 2025, down from roughly 17,500 in 2024 because of weather-related closures earlier in the year.
Cantwell asked the council to approve increasing the charge for non‑member private carts from $15 to $20; he described the change as aligning private-cart fees with rental-cart pricing. He also described a new non‑member player discount program that would charge $65 per month and offer discounted green fees to frequent non‑members when it launches, with an April 1 planned kickoff. Council members and attendees asked for the club’s annual reports to be placed in the council share folder; Cantwell said all reports were submitted to the city and that the public can use the 19th Hole patio for food service but not the full restaurant facilities.
Why it matters: the changes affect public access and user fees at a city facility the council supports; the club said city assistance has helped make infrastructure repairs and the council sought clarity that the city’s support is communicated to club members. The council recorded appreciation for the club’s management and for steps taken to stabilize membership and operations.
