Since before the City of Boonville purchased Quail Crossing Golf Course, it had struggled or failed to maintain its status as a premier public course. The City was warned about this going in but chose to move forward. Since the fall of 2017 it has become apparent that despite promises to the contrary, the City does not have the finances to repair or maintain the golf course in the condition that the public or residents expect. There are at least three ways out of this predicament:
I have also read the 120+ page golf course analysis released last month by the City of Evansville. There are several voids identified that Quail Crossing Golf Course (QCGC)could fill. For example, Evansville does not own a driving range or have a golf teaching facility. With the proper personnel, QCGC could fill that void, bring younger players in and start to build a base of return players…..of all ages. It is this type of forward thinking that could help bring Quail back to prominence.
As this issue is debated, opinions will vary but failure to do something will continually drain the City of funds that are needed elsewhere.
