Cupertino is raising fees at one of its most beloved golf courses -- and golfers say it's on par with what the course needs.
Cupertino is raising fees at one of its most beloved golf courses -- and golfers say it's on par with what the course needs.The Cupertino City Council on Tuesday discussed the plan to raise fees at the popular city-owned Blackberry Farm Golf Course. The city hopes the increase will help keep the course maintained and open for use after officials voted against closing it last year.
Keith Kreft, 76, has been golfing at Blackberry Farm since 1987 and advocating for a fee bump for months. The last time fees were increased was 2016, according to the city. Kreft said the fee increases in April are too low and need to be higher to make sure the golf course is well maintained. He said most golfers support the new fees because they want to see the course kept in good shape. "A golfer doesn't want to play at a schlocky course," he told San Jose Spotlight.
