We believe that the municipal golf courses are a unique asset to the City and to San Diego area golf. These courses should be preserved for the primary use of its residents and not taken over by special interests for private gain by giving preference to wealthy "destination" golfers. It is this philosophy that guides us through our mission.
Our mission is to accomplish the following:
Keep resident green fees affordable for ordinary citizens, seniors and juniors
Give local residents a fair shot at desirable tee off times
Save millions by renovating the current clubhouse and not building a new one
Keep a county rate; our county neighbors are not tourists but are important contributors to San Diego's year round economy
Stop the Century Club’s attempt to take City land for this private club whose ultimate goal is to make Torrey Pines a private playground for the wealthy and provide a windfall for owners of the Torrey Pines Lodge and Torrey Pines Hilton
Put money into needed renovations at Balboa Park Golf courses before spending millions on unneeded projects at Torrey Pines
Open up golf course finances to public review and require real cost justifications for any fee increases. (According to the city's plan, the golf course Torrey Pines Enterprise Fund has amassed over a 4 million dollar surplus which will get even larger if the plan passes)
Require the City to post tee time sheets on the web so that users and the public will be able to see where tee times are going
Reconstitute the Golf Advisory Committee so that it gives a full voice to local golfers
Keep municipal golf a self-sustaining enterprise not a profit center for either the city or private profiteers
