St. Johns Golf Club renovation on track
An $8 million overhaul of the St. Johns Golf Club is on track to be completed in the fall as was originally planned, according to Director of Golf Wes Tucker.
At various times, commissioners have shown a reluctance to reinvest in the county-owned course, but that sentiment has changed with the current project. In its last year of operation before closing for play in the winter, St. Johns Golf Club had about 62,000 rounds of play, Tucker said. At its most popular, the course saw more than 70,000 rounds, but Tucker said the 62,000 number is a healthy goal moving forward.
"That's pretty incredible that people are reinvesting back in the game," Tucker said."It's a trend and it shows where the game is, the growth in the game." A round of golf for a county resident in the peak season is projected to increase $5 to $44.50 with off-peak to move to $39.50.
