11/09/26 Golf Commission

The Town of Fairfield Golf Commission met on November 9, 2026. Staff reported that 2027 outings are fully booked, with 14 currently scheduled and additional demand; commissioners favored keeping the number unchanged for now. They discussed possible increases to outing fees, resident and nonresident golf rates, season passes, and driving-range bucket prices, but made no pricing decisions; the proposals are expected to return for consideration in December. The commission also discussed a planned transition to cashless transactions for Community Services beginning December 1, with payments by check or credit card.

Capital and facility work included an approved extension of the driving-range netting, with construction expected to begin December 1 and take about three weeks; no cost or contractor was identified. Commissioners discussed obtaining pricing from Darling Gardens for phased bunker renovations, including replacing sand and repairing aprons. The conversation referenced a 10-year capital plan with roughly $350,000 earmarked for bunkers and other course improvements, and rough per-bunker cost estimates, but no project award or spending approval was made at this meeting. The only formal vote recorded was to adjourn.
