6. 2020 Brookview Golf Season Review
Disch gave an update on the 2020 Brookview Golf Course season. He said despite the late season
start and COVID safety precautions, golf operation was profitable in 2020. He said the Regulation 18-
hole course had its best season since 2003 with 46,000 rounds, which is up from 2019 at 38,000
rounds. The Par 3 course accommodated 26,000 rounds, which is 14-15,000 more than a few years
ago. Disch said the driving range had its best year ever. He also said golf operations successfully
operated safely during the pandemic with no major issues. Birno added the Three One Six also had a
great year. It really helped to have great weather throughout the season and the large patio area
available.
Sanders asked about potential increased volume from new housing developments in the area and
changing demographics. Disch said both could have increased numbers on the course. He said golf is
one of those activities people were able to enjoy during the spring, summer, and fall COVID months.
Staff also noted an increase of beginners participating in lessons and a wider age range of golfers on
the course.
Wright inquired about extra wear and tear on the course and carts. Disch said it was minimal but
they did go through more seed and sand than previous years. In addition, mats were used on the
driving range every tenth day to allow for less wear. He said they did have more walkers than ever
before.
Cornelius said the course looked great and he’s happy it was a great season. He then inquired about
the new artificial turf on the lawn bowling greens. Disch said there’s not a huge difference and lawn
bowlers seem to enjoy the quicker and livelier bowl action. He also noted they have had zero
negative feedback.
Disch said he anticipates the 2021 season to be just as busy as 2020 with all the phone calls and
emails they have been receiving. He said they have a lot of safety guidelines already in place, which
will make for a seamless transition into the 2021 season.
Weiswerda asked if there will be any special promotionsin 2021. Disch said they sent out a mass
email to over 25,000 patrons advertising club memberships. They hope to see an increase. Birno said
they are continually using information from the databaseto watch for trends and marketing
opportunities to increase course usage.
7. 2021 Brookview Golf Operations and Procedures
Birno shared the document and gave a brief overview of the updated Brookview Golf Course and
Lawn Bowling Operations, Procedures, and Course Regulations. He said he plans to share the
updated document each yearfor the OSRC to review. Disch added that the updated document will
make golf operationsand procedures clear, especially when they are questioned or challengedby
customers.

especially with COVID restrictions still in place.
-Disc Golf has been very busy.

Proposed Updated Leash Ordinance
Birno shared the updated ordinance, which included the Commission’s recommendations.

the Commission.
