APPROVED BY TRUSTEES TO: The Honorable Chairman and Trustees SEN 17 ZU13 Owasso Public Golf Authority FROM: Larry Langford Director of Recreation and Culture SUBJECT: Recommendation for OPGA Rate Increase DATE: September 13, 2013 BACKGROUND: Over the past three years, the Bailey Ranch Golf Club has seen an increase in golf memberships as well as rounds played. Many factors play a part in this trend but a few of the main contributors are the sustainable improvement to the course conditions, positive golfer experience with regular referrals and restructuring of the membership options. The course has maintained the current rate structure for many years and has not increased rates in the past decade. To increase profitability and maintain financial responsibility, staff is proposing an increase in membership rates and golf course fees. The proposed increase is not substantial but will assist in addressing escalating costs. Although the cost of doing business such as gas, materials and supplies has continued to rise, our rates have not increased. Furthermore, employee costs have risen with minimum wage increasing from $5.15 to $7.25. Relying heavily on part-time staff, this is a significant cost that we must address in budget preparation. Staff believes we must begin to recoup these rising cost to sustain the improving standards the course now realizes. Prior year course conditions have not merited an increase but our product and current state justify this rise in fees. This rate adjustment will also allow us to maximize the limited available rounds of golf the course can accommodate. Many members and golfers are supportive of this increase if it continues to allow staff to maintain the conditions and golf experience they currently enjoy. Although staff is aware of possible turnover due to the increase, previous changes to the membership options allow for a variety of choices to fit a diverse array of patrons. MARKET SURVEY: In preparation of the FY 2013-2014 OPGA budget, staff conducted a market survey to identify industry standards and compare surrounding golf facilities' fee structures. Rates at Bailey Ranch Golf Course are about average among all courses but rank lowest of all the comparable facilities. Staff believes we must begin to align the rates with other high end courses as highlighted in the following market survey.
