After a record season for rounds in 2024, green fee revenues were budgeted for 2025 slightly lower than 2024, but the continued demand for golf, positive reviews of Springbrook, post renovation, and positive weather impacts have all provided record rounds that are projected to surpass budget and finish close to 2024 levels. Concession, merchandise sales and driving range revenues also are projected to surpass budget for revenues. Program revenues are projected
to finish at budget, as programs continue to be popular with new golfers and junior players. From a staffing perspective, golf managers were able to adequately staff most positions throughout the season as the current labor market provided more candidates for open positions, with the exception being some food and beverage part time staff. Food and beverage staff continued to have issues attracting candidates that could
work beyond just the summer months, as many of the applicants tended to be students looking for summer work. To compensate, the Food and Beverage Manager and supervisors were needed to fill shifts in the concession areas, especially during the spring and fall months. Labor costs for 2025 are projecting higher than budget for most departments, mainly the result of higher volume of play and the extended golf season.
