The city of Midland, Michigan hopes that Billy Casper Golf can heal its ailing golf course.
BCG will take over management of Currie Municipal Golf Course, a 45-hole facility, on January 1. Currie has posted losses in four of the past five fiscal years and is currently almost $2.1 million in the hole. Rounds have fallen from nearly 60,000 in 2008 to less than 40,000 in 2013.
According to a report by WSGW News Radio, however, BCG has promised to turn a profit within five years.
