Chanute Commission Approves Membership Fee Hike for City Golf Course

Apr 27, 2026

The commission approved increases to golf course memberships (single +$100; family +$200) and higher cart storage fees; increases will take effect April 1, 2027 to give members time to adjust.

The full story

The commission approved a recommendation from the golf course board to raise membership fees and cart storage rates to offset rising operating costs. City Manager Todd Newman summarized the board's rationale, saying the course's last membership increase was March 2024 and that the course operates on a roughly $525,000–$535,000 annual budget with annual revenues in the $325,000–$350,000 range.
