BRAF wants to create a special taxing district there, but not for the golf course.
In 2025, City Park golf course generated a $75,000 surplus while keeping fees affordable or even "cheap." This year it is on track to host 30,000 rounds of golf, the estimated maximum capacity as reported by the National Golf Foundation. Alter the course substantially by removing the yardage equivalent of one hole and there is no telling how much play would be reduced, but as much as 50 percent has been suggested.

If that is true then they are grossly undercharging for rounds and BREC shouldn't be in golf business for that reason alone. If anything BR residents should get a discount with valid ID.

If BREC would invest in City Park the way it has in Clark, they might be able to raise fees a bit. But remember, BREC is public golf, and the fact that City Park more than pays for itself is a testament to its value.

Baton Rouge is very lucky to have a Tom Bendelow designed gem of a muni downtown. Very typical they are going to destroy it out of ignorance at best or malice at worst.

Iraq has better golf courses than Baton Rouge. Per capita the worst golf in the US and it’s not close!

BREC and LSU are completely to blame for this. Dirt cheap prices and tons of courses made golf uninvestable for decades.
