Council hears plan to increase golf-course capital spending as courses seek revenue upgrades
Summary
Tampa's three municipal golf courses are budgeted to increase capital spending from about $8.3M to $12.7M in FY27 to fund two major projects at Rocky Point and Rogers and to support revenue-generating renovations.
Deputy Chief Financial Officer Michael Perry told council the golf enterprise's recommended budget increases from about $8.3 million to $12.7 million for FY27, driven by two capital projects: one at Rocky Point and one at Rogers Golf Course.
Perry said the city owns three municipal courses managed by the Tampa Sports Authority and that capital work aims to upgrade clubhouses and course features to increase revenue. He described a five- to seven-year capital plan TSA submitted and said the city's support for FY27 is limited (annual subsidy down to about $300,000) while golf operations contribute to capital and operations.
Councilmembers asked for the TSA budget presentation when it is available and noted the large year-over-year increase warrants review. The administration said it will share detailed TSA project briefs with council when they're ready.
Next steps: the Tampa Sports Authority will present the golf-course budget details to council in a future briefing.
