Osceola Golf Course
Osceola Golf Course is a public golf course owned by the City of Pensacola (although the course is not located within the City). The course is not self-sustaining, which means City residents subsidise its operation with their tax dollars.
Total expenses for the course in FY2007 were $734,291.00. Total revenue was $550,256.00 — Resulting in a net loss of $184,035.00.
In a time of budget shortfalls, we need to eliminate that which is inefficient and bleeds out cash. Unless we can do something to increase the usage at the Course and make it self-sustaining, it should be sold if possible, or closed otherwise.
