After months of activism on the part of golfers and curve balls from the city, the five-year municipal golf plan for Torrey Pines, Balboa and Mission Bay golf courses will go before the San Diego City Council on Monday, June 26 at 2 p.m. at City Hall, 202 C St. Public comment will be taken.
The mayor’s revised plan would scrap the Torrey Pines Clubhouse at least until after the 2008 U.S. Open, would raise green fees, limit individual play and senior discounts but would not increase junior fees.
The plan would cut tee times for the Torrey Pines men’s and women’s golfer groups by 50 percent on Thursday and from 12 to three times per year for Sunday tournaments. An additional 17,000 tee times will open to the public by taking tee times from the golf clubs and hotels, and with the 7,300 tee times the pro shop returned to the city.
In an attempt to capture broker fees for the city, advance registration will be available through the golf course at a surcharge of $25 to $40 for residents, and $35 to $50 for non-residents. No party would be able to play more than twice a week.
