Simple Math... (none / 0) (#12)

ok, so I took the revenue numbers from the TU article, i.e. $1.008M and divided it my an average cost per golfer of about $35 per round.  Yeah, I know there are other sources of revenue in there, like Martel's, driving range, pro shop, etc.  but just trying to rough it here.  This brings annual number of rounds of golf to about 28,800.  Let's be conservative and say 25,000 rounds per year.  If the city raised green's fees to match similar muni courses in the area to an average of $55 per round (this includes residents and non-residents) that increases the course revenue by $500K per year!!! Which exceeds operating costs and opens up all sorts of opportunities to use that money elsewhere!
