3 Cedarholm Clubhouse Advisory Team Final Report Background Roseville Cedarholm Golf Course (Cedarholm) is a component of the Roseville Parks and Recreation system and a longstanding, highly valued community amenity. The following qualities have made Cedarholm a metropolitan leader in rounds played for 9-hole, par 3 courses and has contributed to its tradition of successful league play. Cedarholm is: 1. A community asset providing: • Lifelong fitness and recreation opportunities • A niche golf experience for young, older and family golfers that is local and affordable • A gathering place and sense of community • Open, green space • A resource for area School Districts 2. A local leader for rounds played on “like” golf courses: • Play peaked in the 1990s with an average of 41,000 rounds/year • In the 2000s, golf began to decline in play to an annual average of 33,500 rounds • Since 2011, Cedarholm has consistently experienced close to 25,500 rounds annually; metro-wide City/County managed 9-hole, par 3 courses average 16,500 rounds 3. Meeting a specific niche in the Twin Cities golf market by providing a: • Quality golf experience for youth, casual golfers and families • Cost effective, time efficient golf experience • Unique 9-hole golf experience with 18-hole golf course features (i.e. extensive landscaping, excellent customer service and riding carts) 4. Currently operating as an enterprise fund, directly responsible for generating revenues to off-set its operating and capital expenditures: • In earlier years (1990s to mid-2000s) Cedarholm contributed additional revenues to the Citywide general fund that was used to minimize tax dollars for expenditures outside golf operations • In addition, Cedarholm pays an annual administrative fee to the City general fund for insurance and financial services, as well as, depreciation to the Golf Course fund • Over the last decade the golf revenues have not consistently generated enough income to meet the increasing capital needs (HVAC systems, roofing, flooring, lighting, windows, and ADA requirements) The following is a time frame and history of discussion and work completed by the Parks and Recreation Commission and City Council leading up to the formation of the Golf Course Clubhouse Advisory Team. Due to increasing capital needs, and the fact that the clubhouse facility is becoming more functionally obsolete, the Roseville City Council and the Parks and Recreation Commission began talking about Cedarholm clubhouse needs in November 2014. The Council directed Commissioners to work with staff to review current and future operations, as well as capital needs of the Golf course and provide recommendations. During the Commission’s review of Cedarholm’s operations and infrastructure conditions, discussions centered on whether it made sense to address capital needs by repairing, renovating or replacing a 55-year-old structure to meet current needs and anticipate needs for the future.
