Bobby Jones Golf Club Clubhouse Design
Summary
After four years and $670,282 already spent on design, the Commission chose to fund a one-story clubhouse design over restarting from the construction-ready two-story plan. Dissenters warned of escalating costs and lost restaurant/views; supporters cited post-storm fiscal reality and protecting parks penny funds.

Impact analysis
$514,957 for design now, with construction estimated at $7.2 million versus roughly $11.2 million for the two-story — but escalation could push costs toward $9 million if delayed.
Golfers and nature park users get a functional, affordable clubhouse sooner without draining future park projects.
