I’m not a golfer, and I’ve never been to Bunker Links, but from the information printed in the two recent articles in our paper it seems logical that the city take over the operation of the city golf course, unless it chooses to sell it. If someone buys the golf course the price for a golf outing can go up significantly, which cuts down on who can afford to learn and enjoy the game. It sounds like the clubhouse was basically already “leased out” to Merrill, so if the councilmen think they can spend less city money subsidizing the golf course by taking over its operation and making some positive changes to the course and clubhouse, it seems like they should at least try that option. Sounds like there isn’t much to lose by trying. Hopefully with the proposed improvements put forth, we can call back some of the “lost golfers” to Bunker Links.

Should Bunker Links be kept by the city or sold to a private entity?
