Quarterly and December golf course figures in the red

By CaROL BROOKs FreeLANCe WrIter cab1hp@gmail.com

The quarterly golf course report for the second quarter of the fiscal year compared to the previous year showed disappointing news. There were 5,294 paid rounds played compared to 7,063 paid rounds in the same period in 2021. Bad weather, particularly November and December, attributed to a good part of the decline, affecting not only green fees but also cart rental, driving range and the grill. In 2021 there were 16 bad weather days and 24 in 2022. Add to that, the course was closed seven days due to the greens being covered.

However, there were five clubhouse rentals in the quarter compared to none the previous year.
