Commission Approves Golf Course Membership Hike, Changes Take Effect April 1, 2027
Summary
The commission approved board‑recommended increases to golf‑course memberships and cart‑storage fees to offset inflation and higher operating costs; membership increases will not go into effect until April 1, 2027, to give members time to adjust.
The Schmooze City Commission voted April 27 to raise membership rates and cart‑storage fees at the city‑owned golf course following a recommendation from the golf board.
City Manager Todd Newman explained the board’s April 8 review and said the proposed increases are intended to help cover rising expenses such as chemicals and equipment. Newman said the last fee increase was March 2024 and that, if adopted, the new membership rates would take effect April 1, 2027 to allow members time to prepare. “Even if the commission approves the membership increases tonight, they will not go in effect until 04/01/2027,” Newman said.
The board reported roughly 247 current memberships and noted increased play and a longer season now extend the course’s operating window. The changes approved included a $100 increase for single memberships, a $200 increase for family memberships and higher electric cart storage fees (specifics were presented in the board packet). The commission approved the recommendation by voice vote.
The decision is administrative; staff will implement the new fee schedule and return to the commission with any necessary follow‑up regarding memberships or budget adjustments.
