Wichita Asking For Proposals To Privatize Golf Courses

Tuesday, September 11, 2012

The City of Wichita will soon be asking for request for proposals for the possibility of privatizing city golf courses.

The decision came after a special golf committee studied the issue. Last year at this time, local golf courses were not bringing in a profit and there was some talk of closing courses.

During a council workshop Tuesday, Parks and Recreation Board President Bryan Frye told the council the city might as well explore privatization options either through a citizen or company that may want to take over the public courses.

Frye said this year has been a good one for the golf courses, with the number of golfers up significantly from last year.
