_gLrj Review with Ben Disch
Disch gave highlights of the 2017 golf and lawn bowling season. They include:
- The regulation 18 -hole course is in the top 3-4 most heavily played public golf courses in
Minnesota with over 40,000 rounds in 2017.
Winter disc golf is off to a great start. Leagues include 35 participants on Mondays and 50
participants on Wednesdays.
Fat bikes were delivered today. Trails will be groomed when weather permits.
Bunker renovations were completed in 2017 and are a huge improvement.
The 3rd green shelter and lesson tee buildings are being replaced.
Lawn bowling construction began last week with an anticipated opening in August 2018.
Disch then discussed 2018:
The Three One Six Bar and Grill has hired a head cook who starts in two weeks.
Kim Straw is getting all the Three One Six staff trained this week.
- Course rates increased $2 for 18 -holes and $1 for 9 -holes.
- Electric carts have been purchased for the upcoming 2018 season.
The course is already maxed out for 2018 tournaments with a lot of repeat business.
Flooding on hole 14 is still an issue.
Asphalt cart paths will be removed and slowly be reconstructed with crushed granite.
Irrigation system is over 30 years old and will need replacement in the near future.
Cornelius thanked Disch and the golf course staff for the shuttle service during construction.

Page 2
Wesley/Wildwood Tennis/Pickleball bids - Birno said five bids were received ranging
from $417k to $548K. Tennis court and Pickleball court construction bids were higher than
planned and therefore the replacement lights at Wesley Park tennis courts will not be
completed in 2018. Commission members will need to discuss if tennis lights at Wesley Park
are a priority for 2019.
2017 Holiday Train - Birno said the Holiday Train is coming through Golden Valley again on
December 10. More information is available on the city website.
No December Meeting - Due to the Holiday, there will not be a December meeting.
Gillian Rosenquist-This was the final meeting for Commissioner Gillian Rosenquist, who
has been elected to the City Council. Commissioners and staff thanked Ms. Rosenquist for all
of her service and wished her well on the City Council.
