The renovations come after a 2020 National Golf Foundation study showed 43% of the center’s revenue was derived from clubhouse activities, with food, beverages and banquets providing the most opportunity for revenue growth. City officials expect total growth from between $4 million and $4.6 million in annual revenue to $5.4 million in 2027. Additionally, the study found that the Bluebon- net Grille area is too small to accommodate golfers and non-golfers, with only 81 seats, Parks and Recreation Director Donnie Hayes said. The dining element, which is partially open to the public during renovations, has already begun to expand its offerings, including street tacos, pizzas and weekend breakfast, said Sergio Salazar, general manager of Quail Valley Golf Club. Meanwhile, the golf course renovations will add 11 new lakes after several drainage concerns were discovered in a December 2023 drainage analysis, including:
As of Oct. 1, Salazar said over two-thirds of the holes are nearly complete, with the remaining beginning to be sodded within the week, after press time. “We hope to make this the hub of the community where all residents can come and enjoy and be proud of the community they live in,” city officials said.
