JLF’s Michael Sanera says Thomasville should sell its public golf course:
“The taxpayer-subsidized golf course competes with 18 private golf course in the area,” Sanera said. “Several of these courses offer green fees that are competitive with the city golf course’s even without the taxpayer subsidy. In fact, when the taxpayer subsidy is added to the green fee at Winding Creek, the true cost of a round of golf there is about double the green fee charged — nearly $48 for 18 holes. The higher fee is comparable to some of the more exclusive courses in the area.”
Sanera believes Lexington should close its course, too. City managers respond.
