D. STANDING REPORTS
1. Financial – Andrew Cross – Superintendent Cross reported that June was another
strong month, generating over $1 million in total revenue. Golf rounds were up 1%,
green fees increased by 5%, driving range activity rose 7%, and pro shop sales also saw
gains. These contributed to a 4% increase in overall golf revenues for the month and a
1% increase year-to-date. Restaurant revenues remained flat. Cash reserves are slightly
down from last year due to capital equipment purchases, though most major
expenditures have been completed. Golf cart rentals were down due to rain.
2. Manager’s Report
A. Golf – Mike Campbell – Director Campbell provided an update, noting there was one
fewer golf outing this year compared to last, yet rounds were still up by 84.
Commissioner Quoss asked how payments are accounted for when customers pay
upfront for the year. Campbell explained these are recorded as deferred play. Trustee
Thompson asked whether the course is maxing out golf outings and where most outings
stand in terms of participation. Campbell responded that most outings operate at about
60% capacity, with the average outing consisting of approximately 80 players. He added
that scheduling buffers are built in to ensure regular golfers can still be accommodated.
B. Reserve 22 – Jon Satinover – Satinover provided several updates, noting the
restaurant is performing well overall. Although June revenues were slightly lower, cost
management remains strong. Salaries are down by over $12,000 due to staffing
adjustments. Currently, we are $10,000 behind last year’s profit. A recently hired sous
chef did not work out, but a new candidate has accepted an offer and is expected to join
the team soon. The carryout Order-and-Go program is gaining traction, aided by a 20%
promotional offer. Additionally, 13 new TVs have been installed in the main dining area,
including a 65” TV mounted on the stone wall.
C. Grounds – Andrew Cross - Superintendent Cross shared several updates. The golf
course is in good condition, and yesterday’s Illinois Open Qualifier was a success, with
positive feedback despite a three-hour rain delay. While recent storms caused some
bunker washouts, conditions have improved overall. Tree trimming efforts, primarily
crown raising, have enhanced sightlines across the course. In June, a few minor
irrigation leaks were addressed; the system is now 20 years old. Crews also sodded areas
of the fairways, replacing soil with a sand/soil mix to improve drainage.
3. Trustee Liaison – Steve Thompson – Trustee Thompson provided several updates,
noting that the Village Board voted Monday night on the Glenbard District 89/Glenbard
West proposal, which generated significant controversy. The next steps are now in the
hands of the school district. A vote on the Glenwood Crescent lot is scheduled for this
coming Monday. The Event Park project, led by the Park District, will launch a capital
campaign to address an $800,000 funding gap, with demolition and grading expected to
begin in August. A ribbon cutting was recently held for the Glenwood Station
apartments, which are currently 70% leased, with full occupancy anticipated by August.

Additionally, a new meat market is opening at Five Corners, and a coffee shop will be
opening soon in Glenwood Station.
E. OLD BUSINESS
1. Pace of Play Data – Mike Campbell - Campbell reported that the average round time
for the 18-hole course this year is 4 hours and 7 minutes. He noted the team is pleased
with this pace of play.
2. Beverage Cart Weekend Starting Times – Mike Campbell - Campbell shared that
beverage cart service now begins one hour earlier on weekends, with three carts
currently in operation. In response to Trustee Thompson’s inquiry, he noted that the
cost of the carts was $21,000.
3. Master Plan Update – Andrew Cross - Cross mentioned that Noel Allen and Mark
Franz met with Ed Stevens to discuss the logistics of the Master Plan.
F. NEW BUSINESS – None
G. NEXT MEETING - August 22, 2025

A. CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL
The June 27, 2025 meeting of the Recreation Commission was called to order at 7:01 a.m.
at the Village Links of Glen Ellyn; 485 Winchell Way; Glen Ellyn, Illinois by Chairperson
Scott.
B. PUBLIC COMMENT – Tom Manak, a Glen Ellyn resident and frequent golfer at Village
Links, shared concerns regarding the pace of play. He noted that he typically plays
between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. on weekdays and Saturdays, and recently, the pace has
been excessively slow—often taking between 4 hours and 20 minutes to 4 hours and 30
Page 2 of 26

June 27, 2025
minutes. He observed that during backups, such as at Hole 14, Holes 15 and 16 are
often empty, and he rarely sees a course ranger addressing the issue.
In response, Noel acknowledged the concern and stated that the team would review
pace-of-play data. He added that rangers are not driving around on carts, they are
generally dispatched when an issue is reported or identified, so they may not be visible
unless they are actively managing a problem on the course.
C. APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM May 30, 2025
APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM MAY 30, 2025 MEETING as amended
MOTION BY: Commissioner Slowinski
SECONDED BY: Commissioner Ozog
RESULT: Unanimous
D. STANDING REPORTS
1. Financial – Noel Allen – Manager Allen provided a financial overview for the month of
May. Revenues were up 3%, driven by increases in green fees and driving range fees,
while the total number of rounds played remained flat. Operating expenses rose by 8%,
with administrative expenses up 10%. Grounds expenses were down by $23,000, while
golf services expenses increased by $28,000 due to the purchase of range balls and
junior golf kits. Reserve 22 expenses were up $12,000, primarily due to increased labor
costs and cost of goods.
The Village made the first annual payment to the Park District, totaling $30,000, for the
maintenance of Panfish Park. Year-to-date revenues are now flat year-to-date, which is
positive considering the golf season began 17 days later than last year.
Most capital expenditures for the year have been executed. A replacement HVAC system
for Reserve 22 is currently being installed following a failure, with installation scheduled
for Wednesday. In addition, IT upgrades are scheduled to replace wireless access points
and install new security cameras—improvements expected to significantly enhance
system performance.
A $100,000 commitment to the Park District’s Master Plan at Panfish Park also remains
and is expected to be paid this year. Overall, the Village Links is in a stronger financial
position this month, adding $180,000 to reserves in May compared to $175,000 the
previous year.
In response to a question from Chairperson Scott about payments to the Park District
and employees for stormwater related responsibilities, Noel clarified that the $30,000
payment is for mowing and general maintenance, while the $100,000 is a one-time
contribution for overall park improvements. Andrew added that if any issues are
observed in the park, they should be reported so staff can follow up with the Park
District. He also noted ongoing collaboration with the Park District on trail improvement

projects.
2. Manager’s Report
A. Golf – Mike Campbell – Director Campbell provided an update on golf operations. The
team recently held a VIP membership sales contest among staff, resulting in 68 new VIP
members—an increase over last year. So far this season, eight golf outings have been
held, most of them in May and one in April.
The Spring Scramble event saw lower participation compared to last year, largely due to
inclement weather. However, it's worth noting that even in less-than-ideal conditions,
players still showed up to play.
The Pro Shop has shown positive growth, with sales up $8,000 compared to the same
time last year. Merchandise mostly includes shirts, shoes, and balls.
Staffing is now complete and the team is fully geared up for the season.
Members of the Recreation Commission suggested introducing a senior scramble event,
noting that it can be challenging for older players to compete with younger participants.
Director Campbell acknowledged the feedback and said it would be taken into
consideration for next year’s planning.
Chairperson Scott added that other courses, such as Glen Oak, offer senior women’s
tees, and emphasized that senior women face similar challenges as senior men when
competing against younger players. She also noted that many tees have been rated by
the handicap association. Manager Allen responded that while this idea has been
suggested before, it has not yet been widely adopted at other courses.
Commissioner Ozog adds, the beverage cart staff is not the same as last year, and often
times does not see the beverage cart until Hole #18. Manager Allen adds he will look into
that.
B. Reserve 22 – Jon Satinover – Satinover provided several updates. Unfortunately, our
new Sous Chef candidate worked only one day and did not return. An offer was made to
another highly qualified candidate, and we are awaiting his response. We are continuing
to explore options and are in active discussions with the Chef, who is managing well
despite the staffing gap. We remain hopeful this position will be filled soon.
Mother’s Day was a success, with 322 guests attending. The recent restaurant refresh
has also received positive reviews. We held our first banquet team brainstorming meeting
in May, with a second meeting just completed. These meetings will continue monthly
moving forward. Banquet bookings remain strong through May but may be softening for
the year.
The restaurant is also showing early signs of softening. While we’re not making
immediate changes, we are closely monitoring the situation. Last month’s poor weather
impacted business, and June is shaping up to be a lighter month as well. In response,
we are slowing spending for the next few weeks and will reassess after that. Contractual
service expenses are currently up $11,000 over last year.

Our Order & Go program, which allows golfers to order ahead for pickup post-round, has
seen limited usage to date. Startup costs for the program were $1,800. We are also
reviewing a $9,000 charge for workers' compensation and will investigate further.
To address slower sales, we’re considering various promotional strategies, particularly
focusing on liquor discounts, which have been effective in the past. We avoid offering
food discounts, as high volumes may impact the kitchen’s ability to deliver quality. If the
patio is full, there’s no need for promotions, but if traffic slows, we’re prepared to launch
promotions. We are considering offering a Happy Hour from 4:00–6:00 PM. The RC
responded positively to the idea, noting there's no better outdoor spot in town.
Finally, Trevor is working on a quote to replace the indoor TVs, estimated around
$5,000. We would plan to self-install before fall.
C. Grounds – Andrew Cross - Cross provided several updates, noting that May is
typically a very active month for the Grounds team as plant growth accelerates. This May
plant growth was slower than normal due to the cooler weather. Despite this, progress
continued in other areas. Drinking fountains were installed, and seasonal flowers were
planted throughout the course.
A major milestone was reached at the end of May with the completion of the bunker
project. Over the past year and a half, 3,000 tons of sand has been added to the
bunkers. Encouragingly, following the recent heavy rainfall, the newly completed
bunkers showed no signs of washouts.
Commissioner Coldiron inquired about the status of the Tagmarshal. Allen responded
that the system is still experiencing issues, particularly following the rollout of their 4.0
software update. While there has been some progress, the system is not yet functioning
as expected. A meeting is scheduled with Tagmarshal on July 2 to address the ongoing
concerns.
Allen noted that last year, a refund was received due to the persistent issues, but
emphasized that the goal this time is simply to get the system working properly. If the
problems cannot be resolved, the next step would be to explore an exit from the four-year
contract. However, because Tagmarshal operates as a leasing company, terminating the
agreement could be challenging. Nonetheless, Allen remains hopeful that the outstanding
issues can be resolved in the near future. Allen asked the RC to report any issues they
encounter with the carts, including the specific cart number, so that staff can investigate
and address the problem.
Cross added that the team explored options for displaying American flags for the Fourth
of July weekend and other patriotic holidays and worked with their vendor to create a
custom flag design. These flags will be displayed from July 3 through July 6. The team is
also considering ordering additional flags to offer for sale.

E. OLD BUSINESS – MASTER PLAN UPDATE – Manager Allen reported that there are no
significant updates at this time. The project remains in a holding phase where one of
three key financial steps must occur before moving forward: the retirement or near-
retirement of existing debt, the accumulation of additional savings to reduce borrowing,
and decisions on what elements to prioritize within the estimated $14 million scope of
the project. Allen emphasized that, because the facility does not receive tax support, all
funding must come from golf course revenue.
He noted that he and Andrew will be visiting Orchard Valley to review work being done
by architect Greg Martin, and will also visit Cantigny to observe their progress.
Commissioner Ozog asked why the financial model isn’t expected to change. Allen
responded that there are currently no indications from the Village that any changes are
under consideration, nor is he seeking any at this time. He added that there is
approximately $2 million in cash reserves, and his goal is to contribute an additional
$300,000 to $500,000 annually to further strengthen that reserve.
F. NEW BUSINESS – Manager Allen shared that the golf cart models under consideration
are available outside for the Recreation Commission to view and test. He emphasized
that no decisions will be made today. The purpose of this preview is to allow
commissioners to evaluate the three vendors’ carts—focusing on factors such as interior
space, seat comfort, and overall driving experience.
Two of the carts are gas-powered, and Allen encouraged commissioners to keep that in
mind while driving them. He noted that the E-Z-GO cart is expected to feel and sound
similar to the Club Car model currently in use. He also asked commissioners not to
judge the carts solely on the seat comfort, as upgraded seating options are available.
Instead, he urged them to consider the cart's drivability, interior space, and
functionality in everyday use.
Allen mentioned that a quote has been received from Yamaha for upgraded seats; while
the upfront cost is higher, the trade-in value is expected to be more favorable. He
welcomed feedback at any time and noted that a formal proposal will be brought to the
RC at the August meeting. The goal is to present a recommendation to the Village Board
in time for cart orders to be placed by September.

“Committed to Excellence since 1967”
Manager’s Report for JUNE 2025
Submitted by Noel Allen, General Manager
June 2025 had well-above normal temperatures and near-normal precipitation. Looking at June
observations from O’Hare, the average temperature was 74.2°F (3.6°F above normal), which is tied for
the 6th warmest June on record, and precipitation was 3.63” (0.47” below normal). June was again a
fantastic month for golf revenue as carts were available 29 of 30 days (97% availability) on both courses.
GOLF
Rounds played were up 1% for the month, and are down 5% for the year.
Green Fee revenue was up 5% for the month, and is up 1% for the year.
Driving Range revenue was up 7% for the month, and is flat for the year.
Motor Car revenue was down 1% for the month, and is down 1% for the year.
Pro Shop sales were up 3% for the month, and are up 3% for the year.
Overall Golf revenues were up 4% for the month, and are up 1% for the year.
Page 16 of 26
Golf revenues for the month exceeded 2025 targets in all categories and were up over last June in all
categories except carts. Year-to-date golf revenues are still exceeding all 2025 targets and, despite year-
to-date rounds played being down 5%, are now ahead of last year driven by increased prices in green
fees and driving range. The weather as measured by golf playable hours this June was 7% below a
normal year, but 7% ahead of last year. With rounds played up only 1% but again ranking 2nd highest in
the last 20 years, participation appears to remain strong, even with golf course utilization dropping 6%.
Golf course utilization of our facility has been very high for the past several seasons which lessens the
impact of better weather producing increased rounds. Poorer weather, unfortunately, still has the
potential to significantly impact rounds negatively. Carts and rounds were affected due to weather three
times this month compared to four days last June.
Our annual Have One On Us customer appreciation event was held on June 6 & 7 with 489 golfers
participating in the drive, chip and putt contest, 18-hole, 9-hole, and junior golf tournaments. Numerous
others also took advantage of free driving range and $2 drafts, hot dogs, brats, and burgers on Friday
evening and all-day Saturday. The Village Links Amateur began and runs until early July as players in
multiple flights schedule and play their match play events. Our annual parent junior golf tournament
was also held with 11 teams competing for the title. We also hosted an Illinois Junior Golf Association
developmental tournament to further invest in our future golfers. Golf staff also executed nine shot gun
start golf outings in June, one less than in 2024.
The Drive, Chip and Putt contest Guests could eat their
was held on Friday evening. $2 burgers, brats or
hot dogs in the banquet
room this year.

RESERVE 22
Total revenues were down again this month at Reserve 22. While restaurant, bar, and concessions
revenue increased by 2%, banquets and outings declined by 19%. Despite this recent downturn, year-to-
date banquet revenues remain positive, though indicators suggest softening in this segment. In June
2025, we hosted 35 events across all spaces – a decrease of four events compared to June 2024. Our
banquet sales team met in June for the 2nd time and is actively developing strategies to increase leads
and bookings. A referral program will launch in early July, along with targeted efforts to attract more
corporate events and celebrations of life.
Hot, humid conditions curbed patio sales the last two weeks in June and affected banquet revenue and
customer satisfaction, as our HVAC system in the north banquet room failed. Temporary AC units were
brought in to help until the roof top unit could be replaced in early July. Unfortunately, the guest
experience suffered as indoor temperatures remained warmer than normal, and the rooms were not as
attractive.
Reserve 22 hired a new full-time Sous Chef who had a family emergency and worked only one day
before ending his employment. We have reached out to another very qualified candidate whom we
interviewed, and he has accepted our offer. We hope to have a full-time Sous Chef on staff by mid-July.
Finally, our new carryout program, launched in June, has not yet gained traction. We plan to expand
promotion beyond the golf audience and will allow additional time to evaluate the program’s viability.
One of two temporary AC units
brought in to help cool the Blue
Heron Room due to failure of
our HVAC RTU.

KEY METRICS
Golf rounds and revenues continue to track well, with all categories currently exceeding their target
numbers, while Food & Beverage revenues missed target in June. Total revenue remains ahead of total
budget target, even with an increased annual target of $783,150—a continuation of our strong
performance.
We are now heading into our traditionally busiest months of July and August.

GOLF COURSE AND GROUNDS
The golf course continues to remain in terrific shape, even with such high volumes of play. Customer
