Palm Springs City Council pauses increase, maintains current resident golf rates at Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) - The Palm Springs City Council agreed unanimously at its meeting on Wednesday to maintain the current resident golf rates and stay the implementation of increases at Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort, retroactive to December 1.

The decision to keep the current rates came after hearing residents' concerns last month over the adopted green fee hikes of up to 73% at the resort.

Councilmember deHarte said, "Many thanks to the community members who spoke up and pled their case very eloquently. And appreciation again to the Parks and Rec[reation] team for going through the process and making a difference for those people who are active golfers at Tahquitz."
