Foster Golf Links Green Fee Increase
ISSUE
Consideration of a resolution increasing the Green Fees at Foster Golf Links.
BACKGROUND
The Foster Golf Links 2010 revenue projection was set with a goal of reaching $1,300,000.00 in
green fees sales. In order to reach our revenue projections, we will continue to offer promotions
and events, increase league play and continue to implement our marketing campaign. It is the
opinion of Marty O'Brien, Golf Superintendent and PGA golf professional, that we also need to
increase our green fees to help achieve our 2010 revenue projection.
Our proposal is to increase our fees, ranging from .50 cents to $2.00, depending upon age,
residency, and rounds played. The City's green fees continue to be very competitive and just
under the market of the local municipal golf courses. This modest fee increase is expected to
raise our green fee revenues while maintaining our fees equal to or below our local municipal
competitors (Renton, Kent Auburn).
The proposal to increase the 2010 green fees will assist our goal to reach our revenue
projection while continuing a proper price point to stimulate growth and increased play. The
Parks and Recreation Department seeks input from the Community Affairs and Parks
Committee regarding the greens fee increase.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the resolution and consider this item at the February 22,
2010 Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent March 1, 2010 Regular Meeting
