Tee time at Denver-owned golf courses is likely about to get pricier.
Golf is an “enterprise division” for the parks and recreation department, McWhorter said. That means it is expected to generate enough revenue to cover 100 percent of its costs. The department estimates that, if the changes are enacted, the division would actually cover 115 percent of its costs next year.
Other changes to fees that the department wants to see implemented include increasing the cost of renting park facilities such as the City Park Pavilion, eliminating fees for hand-launched watercraft such as sailboats in the five city lakes that allow them and bumping up the price of staying in an RV at Chief Hosa Campground.
The committee forwarded the proposal to the full council, where a majority of members will need to vote in favor. “Water, fertilizer, labor, etc. — all of those costs are going up regardless of what type of round it is,” Director of Golf Scott Rethlake responded.
