Golf Course Committee approves December minutes, discusses staffing and pricing concerns
Golf Course Oversight Committee · Meeting of March 19, 2026
NATICK — Sassamon Trace Golf Course Advisory Committee approved December minutes by 3-0-0 vote while weighing season pass holder complaints. Kurt McDowell, superintendent, confirmed pay rates are competitive with nearby municipal courses but acknowledged recruitment challenges. The committee discussed removal of spousal and senior discount rates and an 18-hole play restriction for season pass holders that McDowell defended as necessary to prevent manual tracking burdens and protect revenue.
The bunker project is out to bid, with a March 27 deadline and anticipated contractor start in mid-September; overall course revenue is projected to exceed budget despite slower winter play.
