Fees associated with golf courses and tennis facilities operated by the City of Dallas have increased, but not by very much.

Even with the more expensive rates, these city-owned facilities are still among the most affordable in the area. The new fee for juniors at Cedar Crest Golf Course is $10. By comparison, juniors pay $25 at the Golf Club of Dallas, a privately owned club on W. Red Bird Lane.

The cost increases are meant to help offset higher material and services costs required for maintenance, according to a newsletter from Dallas Park and Recreation. For example, the costs of fertilizer and other related chemicals have increased 50%-75%, the newsletter says.

The Dallas Park and Recreation Board approved the changes for golf course green fees and tennis center fees at its Jan. 12 meeting. Golf courses affected include Cedar Crest, Luna Vista, Stevens Park, Tenison Glen, Tenison Highlands and Keeton Park. Four tennis centers — at Fretz Park, Kiest Park, Samuell-Grand Park and L.B. Houston Park — also have new rates.

Before the new rates went into effect, the weekday green fee at Cedar Crest Golf Course was $25.50. Now, the cost has increased to $26. The same increase of 50 cents was applied to the weekday fee at Stevens Park Golf Course, too.

At Kiest Tennis Center, regular play used to cost $3.25 per person. With the changes, the fee has increased to $4 per person.
