Sunshine tops the wish list of golfers, the city of Bryan, and the operator of the city's new municipal golf course.
The city council was told this month that there were 50 days through the first six months of the city's fiscal year...between October 1 and April 30...that there were fewer than 25 players.
Inclement weather contributing to decreased activity was among the reasons revenue for the first six months was $138,000 less than projected.
Expenses at the former Briarcrest course were $41,000 less than expected.
Wallace Phillips, who the city hired to run the former Briarcrest course after he donated it, was asked multiple times if the council should consider changing prices. Phillips said that was the council's decision since it's the city course.
Councilman Buppy Simank and mayor Andrew Nelson said they received positive feedback from golfers the day before receiving the update from the Phillips Events Center and city staff.
The operators were also asked about replacing the fleet of golf carts the city inherited when the council accepted the course.
Phillips told the council he hopes there will be capital project money sometime to dredge the lake to make the eighth hole as a signature hole.
