Golf Course Advisory Board Jan. 26, 2026

The City of Longmont Colorado Golf Course Advisory Board met on January 26, 2026, to discuss operational and capital improvement matters related to the city's golf courses. Key procurement-related topics included the upcoming 2027 budget process, with a focus on capital improvement projects such as cart path repairs, clubhouse maintenance, and potential irrigation system replacement at Sunset Golf Course. The board reviewed revenue and usage statistics, noting increased rounds and revenue due to favorable weather but also highlighting the resulting turf damage and maintenance challenges. A significant discussion centered on a proposed project to install synthetic turf on the back tee of the driving range at Twin Peaks Golf Course to improve durability and usability, with estimated costs between $30,000 and $50,000 excluding dirt work. The project also considered expanding the tee area to increase capacity. The board sought feedback on this potential capital investment, which would require contractor installation to maintain warranty coverage. Additionally, the board discussed the golf fund's financial structure, including operational revenues, expenditures, and outstanding debt service related to prior capital projects. No formal votes on procurement were recorded, but the meeting set the stage for upcoming budget requests and capital project planning.
