The Citizens Golf Advisory Council (CGAC) was established in 1984 by the Parks and Recreation Department. The purpose of the council is to provide a forum giving interested citizens and golf patrons the opportunity to communicate with Parks and Recreation staff - to offer suggestions and recommendations for the improvement of the golf courses to include: maintenance, food and beverage, tournaments, fees and the pro shops. The council is a volunteer citizen body that serves without pay and is appointed by the Phoenix Parks and Recreation Board based on recommendations of the Director. Members serve a three-year term and are elibible to serve two consecutive terms. The CGAC meets on the third Wednesday of the month, at the Sports and Turf Division office, 3333 N 7th Ave. The meetings are open to the public. The meeting agenda is posted on the city's public meeting website 24 hours prior to each meeting. Meetings are subject to cancellation if a quorum is not reached. Call (602) 495-0151 for confirmation. For information on City Golf e-mail golf@phoenix.gov. The Enterprise System On June 8, 1981 the City Council passed a resolution making city golf course operations a separate "enterprise system." This means that golf operations are funded solely from golf revenue and not from tax revenue. Other city enterprise systems include Aviation, Civic Plaza and Water Services. Golf income is derived from green fees and concessionaires' agreements. No money derived from the golf enterprise fund leaves the Golf Division. Excess income can be used for increased maintenance, new machinery or capital improvements. If income falls below expenses, fee adjustments may be required.
