Bob Komarinetz, Golf Director, reviewed the following staff recommendation to continue the daily fee programs: TO: Members of the Board of DATE: August 18, 1989 FILE: County Commissioners TEIIitJ: Mr. James E. ChandSUBJECT: Yearly Memberships "Sandridge Golf Club" County Administrato e��/-- FROM: Bob Komarinetz REFERENCES: . Director of . Go During the planning stages of the golf course there was a feasibility study done by the National Golf Foundation. Their recommendation was that there would be no annual memberships. Their reasoning was that it would dilute revenue potential and tend to create a "club" atmosphere that does not allow for servicing all residents and area visitors on an equal basis. They also added that the facility is to truly serve as an amenity, for the recreational purposes of all county residents and to attract visitors to the county, and maximize revenues while maintaining reasonable and competitive rates, it can best be accomplished by the elimination of "membership" or annual fees. It was also recommended that a fee structure be adopted so that residents of Indian River County could benefit at a reduced rate, which Sandridge Golf Club does have at the present time. These particular type of programs was strongly recommended and supported at a fee structure presentation on Sandridge Golf Club at the Florida Municipal Golf Course Association meeting in Daytona Beach in the fall of 1986. Staff recommends that we continue the same daily fee programs that Sandridge Golf Club has used in the past. In addition staff will encourage the promotion and development of a mens league and continue supporting a ladies league that already exists. Through these weekly programs it will help to develope "club" type atmosphere and hope that residents and visitors will continue to enjoy_ this beautiful recreation amenity.
