On May 20, 2008 staff was asked to do a comparative market analysis of fees of similar facilities in
the south bay area. This study showed that Blackberry Farm is lower than the median price. Fees at
Blackberry Farm have not been increased since August of 2004.
An increase in the fees of $1:00 will bring in approximately $50,000 per year in additional revenue.
Needed improvements at Blackberry Farm include renovating tee boxes and greens. In addition, the
irrigation system is over 45 years old and continually needs repairs. This fee increase will enable us
to start renovations that will improve and enhance the facilities.
Staff posted a notice that fees were to be increased by $1.00 per green fee. Stakeholders were
invited to attend a meeting to discuss the fees and golf course improvements. There were no
negative comments about the increase and the customers are excited about the current and future
golf course improvements.
