Town Council Approves Timberlin Fee Schedule for 2013

Golf Course closing gap towards operating at level revenue. Also chosen to host Connecticut Open qualifier.

 

The Timberlin Golf Course will see slight increases in fees across the board but for Berlin residents, there is no better value in the area when it comes to greens fees and carts.

The PDF document attached has the complete breakdown of the rates but some of the highlights are as follows:

  • Resident Weekend 18 holes from $29.50 to $30, 9 holes from $18.25 to $18.50
  • Senior Resident Weekend from $18.50 to $19, 9 holes from $11.25 to $11.50
  • Non-Resident Weekend from $39.50 to $40, 9 holes from $24.25 to $24.50
  • Golf Carts 9 holes $9.75, 18 holes $17

When compared to area golf courses, Timberlin is on the low end of the price scale when it comes to residents and on the high end of non-resident rates.

At Stanley Golf Course in New Britain, for example, $1 more at $30.50 for Weekend resident. For Weekend Non-Resident, Timberlin is $39.50 while Stanley is $38.

The Council priased the work of Director of Golf Jon Zuk and Head Golf Professional Marc Bayram who were on hand to talk about the prices. They also outlined some of the successful specials the course has run such as:

  • The weekday golf and lunch special
  • The Birthday Club
  • The Outing Players Coupons
  • The Springtime Special
  • The Fall Special

The Council also approved the waving of fees for the Connecticut Open Qualifier on July 8.

The Connecticut Open, which has been won by Berlin native Kyle Gallo four times, is a Connecticut State Golf Association tournament. The other qualifying locations are private golf courses so for Timberlin to be chosen to host the qualifier is quite an honor.

Sorry, it should and now does read this way:
When compared to area golf courses, Timberlin is on the low end of the price scale when it comes to residents and on the high end of non-resident rates. So the presentation says that residents of Berlin get a great deal while non-residents seem willing to pay on the high end of local courses like Stanley, Rockledge and others to play at Timberlin.

very sad indeed; so who is to blame for not teaching them? it is no wonder that the sat scores inRead More the DRG for Berlin and other townships are what they are....mediocre; at this comes right from the State of CT educational tracking stats a very telling article in Connecticut Magazine as well! the magnet schools are kicking the proverbial scholastic butts of the public school system. for less pay as well....so, the relationship of salary increases to all around better education;...well, all i can say is.....

Berlin teachers' median annual salary is nearly $80,000, plus family medical benefits costing overRead More $20,000, plus the ability to retire at 55 years of age with summers off, winter and spring vacations, and virtually ever holiday known to man and woman, and a work day at the high school ending mid afternoon: not bad. Perhaps teachers salaries have little, if any, correlation to quality of education...huh?

Bill, you are correct on the motor vehicle laws an what should happen to drivers who break it.Read More There is also no law that people should eat food, but if they don't they will die.
John Elsworth June 10, 2013 at 01:57 pm
Bill, pushed wrong button an send comment off before I was finished. My point is everyone has toRead More use common sense in all situations an that includes parents on teaching there children as well as motorists. There will always be motorists who disobey the law an that is why parents must teach there kids about how to be safe an sound an not just say well there are laws on that. Make kids aware that accidents can happen an motorists speed an just be careful.

ok, first i would like to apologize for going a little nuts, i was a little worked up last night.Read More again, i apologize. but i dont believe i called you any names, i did however refer to the word assume, which you did when you said people like me speed. one speeding ticket in 13 years of driving (when i was younger). and you are correct, loving family and children are values i have, thats why i try to take the responsibility of protecting them, and not leaving their protection up to someone else (speeders in this case). but i guess that liberals/sheep, wouldnt know about that, wanting and thinking that the govt or someone else will be there to protect them. like i said in the other comment section, dont rely on others for your or others safety, rely on yourself.
