Golf Board Accepts Revised Clubhouse Design & Cost Estimate

Hillsview Golf Board members, at the June 2 meeting, adopted and revised clubhouse design and cost estimate. The design adds 725 sq. ft. and also includes a patio with cover on the south side of the current building. Seating will be limited to 82 and bathrooms will be ADA compliant. Cost estimate to the new design is approximately $480,000 but is subject to change pending additional consultation on the heating, ventilation, and cooling system. The Golf Board now must determine policies on how they feel the funds to support the building remodel can be raised from private and/or golfing community. The Board intends to hold special meetings to discuss fundraising and structure a plan they can present to the membership as well as to the City Commission.

Thursday Mornings Set For Chemical Applications
March 12, 2008 - The Golf Advisory Board has approved a recommendation that tee times on Thursday mornings will start at 7:30 instead of sunrise. This will allow the maintenance staff time to apply herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and fertilizer to the greens, tees, fairways and roughs. It will allow the maintenance crew to stay ahead of the golfers and reduce the risk of exposure.

Opening of the Golf Course
Spring  is approaching fast and everyone is looking forward to getting out on the course. The driving range should open on the 20th of March with the course to follow a week later. This is all dependent on the weather of course.

Security Gate Moved
The security gate at the west end of the cart buildings has been moved from the south side of the south cart building to the north side of the north building. The small doors at the west end of the cart buildings will be kept locked. There are several reasons for this listed below:

  1. The main electrical transformer was hit causing electrical failure of the irrigation system in 2006, and has been hit several times since.

  2. There have been several accidents in the old gate area and cars could be hit with golf balls from the practice area.

  3. Moving the gate will provide increased security for the pro shop fuel tank and items stolen from private carts.

  4. The parking lot can be monitored to keep people from bringing their own alcoholic beverages onto the course.
