CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
The Salt Lake City Golf Division operates as an Enterprise Fund, meaning that nearly all operational expenses and capital improvements come from user fees and not the General Tax Fund of Salt Lake City. As part of your green fees, we set aside $2 per player for every nine-holes played at each of our courses. This money goes into our Capital Improvement Fund to use towards capital improvements and projects intended to address decades of deferred maintenance and improving the quality and playability of the courses, thereby enhancing your experience and preserving these community assets for years to come.
Between FY23 and FY27, we are reinvesting over 23 million dollars into your courses.
