The Junction City Commission has authorized the lease of 42 QuieTech gasoline powered golf carts for use at Rolling Meadows Golf Course.  They will replace 42 electric golf carts.

The lease on the new carts will be for five years with annual payments of $27,342.

The PGA General Manager for the course, John Bernstein told the Commission that an annual payment is made that is split into six payments. “And our revenues for carts have averaged in my seven years there approximately $65,000. Right now it is a $15 per rider for 18 holes.” That equates to $30 per cart.

The new carts will have an overhead canopy to protect golfers from the sun and a carbon windshield that doesn’t shatter and can fold down Bernstein noted these will be very basic golf carts.
