The rates are higher, simply because our facility will warrant-them and tae will be setting a new standard for Southern Texas Municipal Golf courses. Our higher standard will emphasize automatic watering system, concrete cart paths, club house facilities, location, maintenance facilities, and an overall well conditioned golf course. ~WILITE GREEN FEES $ 5.00 • This is a discounted rate which most Municipal Golf Courses offer approximately two and one half hours before dark to accommodate players who prefer to play only nine holes or don't have time for eighteen holes. These are fees offered at some Municipal Golf Courses to generate revenue and accommodate local avid golfers. Our feeling on this subject is open the golf course for a period of time and then consider our need of a rate of this nature. There are some advantages and disadvantages. An advantage is this will create fast bulk revenue. Another advantage is that a player who accepts this offer will primarily play at our golf course which creates revenue by other means such as cart fees, food and beverage and etc. The disadvantages concerning annual rates would be that a player may take advantage of this rate to average his or her green fees well below our normal green fees. Another disadvantage of annual rates would include players not accepting restriction of play for certain • reasons such as tournaments, league play, necessary maintenance, and weather. All of these things should be weighed before adopting or not adopting an annual rate. • SENIOR GREEN FEES=% r ~~, $ 4.50 - 65 Years and up Week-days only Bay Forest Golf Course Rate Structure -~'r Page 2 ~ j' ~' This is a rate discounted to Senior Citizens on week days only. Most Municipal golf courses use them. We feel our recommended rate is competitive with area Municipal golf courses. RESIDENT DISCOUNT $ 1.00 - On all green fees excluding Twilite We feel this discount rate should be adopted for our residents and tax payers. This discount will help keep our local players at Bay Forest Golf Course. A system for proof of residence will be developed in the near future. n~ ~\~ ~no~ ~~ 7, CART RATES 1a, • $14.00 - 18 HOLES - Single or Double $ 8.00 - g HOLES - Single or Double tde recommend these rates because they are consistant with our higher standard facility and are still competitive with other Municipal golf courses. We will weigh an idea of single cart rates for Twilite green fee players after we open. By offering no single rate we will encourage twosome & foursome. By this we mean we could consolidate players into foursomes and the pace of play would be more consistent. We recommend that we should not permit private carts at Bay Forest Golf Course. Doing this will serve more justice to our cart fleet and cart paths investment. Two major disadvantages of private carts are liability and • marshalling. ti~1e would not know the condition of these carts, therefore we would not know the hazards and risks involved. Marshalling would become a nightmare for the Pro Shop staff. It would be extremely difficult to keep up with each private cart. Also, our parking would become limited by the trailers used for transporting private carts. • •
