Ehlers: Golf course makes money — it’s not subsidized by city

EVANSTON — Purple Sage Golf Course Pro Scott Ehlers provided an update on Evanston’s golf course for the budget year 2023 during the city council work session on Tuesday, Oct. 24.

“I get a little frustrated when I hear people say that the golf course is subsidized by the city,” Ehlers said. “It is your golf course, and it makes money for the city; it is not a subsidy. The City of Evanston does an excellent job of providing services for their community. Their return on investment is the benefit to the different businesses within and around the city of Evanston.”
