City golf operations report record paid rounds and outline infrastructure needs
Summary
Golf enterprise staff reported a record of 198,415 paid rounds in 2025, improved net revenue and outlined near‑term infrastructure needs including a new pump station (~$300,000) and work on clubhouses and parking.
City golf staff told the committee 2025 was a record year in terms of paid rounds, with 198,415 paid rounds reported and net revenue improvement compared with earlier years. Staff said some revenues were depressed by commodity cost increases (fuel, fertilizer) and that the enterprise is balancing affordability with needed infrastructure investments.
Staff listed capital needs: a new roof on a maintenance barn, a new parking lot and a pump station project identified at about $300,000 for Sykes Lady. The committee discussed Club 27’s contribution to revenue and how pandemic‑era changes (spacing of tee times and operational efficiencies) have influenced play patterns. Staff said public feedback will be sought for St. Andrew’s clubhouse projects and other improvements after World Cup activity in the city subsides.
