Board debates range‑price hike after staff says $1 bump could yield ~$30,000
Summary
Staff estimated that a $1 seasonal increase on range bags might generate up to $30,000 if demand held steady. Board members split over raising range fees, citing competition and resident sensitivity.
During discussion of fee strategy, staff reported that a modest $1 increase on range bags could raise revenue materially only if demand stayed constant; members cautioned customers might shift to nearby courses.
Staff (Greg) summarized the estimate: "It could be up to if you did the exact same amount of business, it could be up to $30,000." Board members countered that even a $1–$2 increase could send customers to nearby alternatives, and emphasized the need to align price changes with improved course conditions and enhanced practice amenities.
The board ultimately approved a seasonal range fee increase rather than a permanent across‑the‑board rise, and asked staff to monitor demand after implementation.
