Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
February 27, 2018
SUBJECT: Sports Core Ordinance – 2018 Policies and Fees
FROM: Sean Creed, Golf Course Superintendent/Manager SC
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: N/A
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move for passage of Ordinance 2018-SC-EX-G-1124, “An
Ordinance Amending Chapter 2, Entitled “Oak Brook Golf Club”, The Village Code Of
The Village Of Oak Brook, Illinois
Background/History:
The following are proposed revisions to Title 12 (Recreational Facilities), Chapter 2, (Oak
Brook Golf Club, Village Code for the 2018 season. These revisions have been drafted by staff
based on a review of past operations, current economic conditions, and t he current budget.
In regards to the 2018 golf daily green fees. OBGC will implement dynamic pricing strategy
to fill tee times during slow and non-peak times. The non-resident green fees have all been
increased, excluding the non-resident senior fees. Our pricing scheme for 2018 is consistent with
the comparable golf courses in the immediate and surrounding communities. (Willowcrest, Cog
Hill, Arrowhead, etc.) Weather permitting, we are forecasting an increase that reflects a 2-5 dollar
increase on 16-18,000 rounds.
