The long golf season and rate changes spurred the successful season at the city’s municipal course.
In terms of gross revenue, Eagle Valley Golf Course had its best year ever in 2012. The Woodbury City Council last week heard the annual review for the municipal course, which has undertaken operational changes and enhanced marketing efforts to improve its finances. There was an extra month or so of the golf season last year, said Dan Moris, head pro. The warm weather last spring got people out early and excited about golf throughout the year, he said. But changes to the fee structure, including taking Fridays off the weekend rate, along with a $20 reduction for the course’s Royal Club, were also factors, Moris said. The course’s first full season was in 1999 after opening for half a season a year earlier. Councilman Paul Rebholz said the …

The city council got an update on the course during its recent budget workshop.
Woodbury has been looking to improve the financial standing of the city-owned Eagle Valley Golf Course. And, like a 9 iron from the fairway, things are looking up, for this summer, at least. Revenue at the course was up 34 percent over 2011 through Aug. 15, while rounds increased 37 percent, officials said during a recent Woodbury City Council budget workshop. Membership in the course’s Royal Club was also up by more than 250 over last year’s numbers. One of the main factors for the uptick was a change in the rate structure at Eagle Valley, according to Community Development Director Dwight Picha. Excellent spring weather also contributed to the gains, head pro Dan Moris said. Many people likely didn’t obtain Royal Club membership last …

Once the district finds out where state funding lands, it will have a clearer picture of whether to ask residents to vote a levy this November.
If state funding for schools remains flat, District 833 is more likely to ask voters for a renewal of its operating levy in the fall of 2012 rather than this November. The South Washington County School Board on Thursday took a look at its options regarding the possibility of a new levy. The district’s existing operating levy expires in the 2013-14 school year. Nearly 78 percent of the district’s funding comes from the state—and the Legislature has yet to settle on school funding. As would be expected, members of a citizens advisory group concluded that if the state decreases funding for education, the likelihood of District 833 asking for a levy this fall increases. That doesn’t mean a reduction in state funding would automatically …
