BACKGROUND

On April 8, 2025, the Board approved the award of Bid 2025026 to Quest Contracting, LLC to construct the new clubhouse at Sandridge Golf Club for $11,200,984.00.  Prior to the award of Bid, Staff was directed to retain the National Golf Foundation (NGF) to conduct an analysis and provide a strategic review of the clubhouse plan to better evaluate the organizational needs for future operation of the new clubhouse and banquet facility.

 

ANALYSIS

The NGF analyzed the current usage patterns of the golf course to create a strategic plan for the associated fees to be derived from the new programs and services at the facility when the new clubhouse is complete.  The report focused on the economic implications of adding an enhanced bar, grill, and banquet services to the already successful programming of the golf course. The NGF report details a revised staffing plan that will be needed for the additional services of the restaurant and banquet facility along with other new expense considerations.  The NGF projects the Golf Course can earn enough extra revenue from the clubhouse to support all new expenses and meet the required annual bond repayment.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Recommended Action
