Fees at Chalk Mountain Golf Course are recommended to increase from $31 to $32 for 18 holes and from $15.50 to $16 for nine holes. Eighteen holes at Dairy Creek cost $38 on the weekends and holidays and $30 on weekdays, and staff is recommending those fees increase to $40 and $32, respectively. Costs could also increase at Morro Bay Golf Course in Morro Bay State Park, where 18 holes of golf cost $41 on the weekend and $32 during the week. Both fees are recommended to increase to $43 and $34, respectively. Green fees at the three courses increased by $1 for calendar year 2006 and also jumped $1 in 2005. The fees are market-driven, based on a survey of other courses in the county and reflect charges that are "middle of the road" to attract golfers, according to Vince Morici, county administrative analyst.
