Parks Recreation Department Bruce Fletcher, Director
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Mullet
Community Affairs Parks Committee
FROM: Bruce Fletcher, Director of Parks Recreation
Marty O'Brien, Golf Manager
DATE: March 22, 2007
SUBJECT: Foster Golf Green Fee Increase
The Foster Golf Links 2007 revenue projection was set with an aggressive goal of
reaching $1,250,000.00 in green fee sales. Since building the new clubhouse, the golf
division has experienced a 2% annual increase in rounds played and countless
complimentary comments on our new facility and course improvements. The city's
green fees continue to be very competitive and just under the market of the local
municipal golf courses.
In order to reach our revenue projections, we will continue to offer promotions and
events, increase our league play and implement a new marketing campaign. Since we
have not had a green fee increase since the 2005 season, it is also the recommendation of
our PGA golf professional to adjust the fees for our upcoming season.
Our proposal is to increase the 18 -hole weekday and weekend fee by $2.00. This modest
fee increase is expected to raise our green fee revenue an additional $80,500.00 while
maintaining our fees equal to or below our local municipal competitors (Renton, Kent
Auburn). After serious consideration, it was decided not to increase our senior rates or
our 9 -hole green fees.
The proposal to increase the 2007 green fees will assist our goal to reach our revenue
projection while continue a proper price point to stimulate growth and increased play.
It is the recommendation of the Parks Recreation Department to approve the following
Foster Golf Links green fee increase.
