ORDINANCE AMENDING CODE OF ORDINANCES, SECTION
16-32.
City Council to consider approving an ordinance amending the Grapevine Code of
Ordinances, Section 16-32. Fees; policies and procedures — Golf Handicap Service Fee.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Fees for service.
BACKGROUND:
The proposed item is intended to add a level of service for golfers at Grapevine Municipal
Golf Course. For many years the Golf Course has provided a handicap recording service
for a fee of $20.00. The Golf Course Advisory Board is recommending that the service be
expanded to what will be called "Gold Service Card" for an annual fee of $50.00 to include
the following:
- Handicap recording service.
- May make a tee time seven days in advance of the day of play (as compared to
six days for non -card holders).
- Eligible to play in gold card tournaments.
- Eligible for eight monthly and one year-end drawing for pro shop merchandise.
- Eligible for gold card group clinics.
- Gold Card holders who have week -end or holiday tee times and who show up
for their tee time short a player will be exempt from paying for the green fee and
cart for the missing player twice a year. Upon a third or subsequent occurrence,
the group would be responsible for the missing player's fees.
- Gold card holders may cancel their tee time at least 24 hours in advance and not
have the miss charged against their missed occurrences.

The gold service cards will be annually renewable in January and cards will not
be pro -rated.
Both the Golf Course Advisory Board and the golf staff believe that this will be a very
popular service and will encourage increased volume of play and participation at the golf
course. The gold card service will replace the current limited service. The higher fee
reflects the costs of the additional benefits.
Staff recommends approval.
