The city of Edinburg signed a new deal for the daily operation of its two municipal golf courses to an Arizona company in a move meant to reduce the golf courses’ reliance on taxpayer funds and increase economic development opportunities for the community.
Edinburg city leaders approved Troon Golf Inc.’s contract to manage and operate Los Lagos and Ebony Hills Golf courses on Wednesday after receiving a request for proposals from seven companies and conducting interviews with four finalists.
Edinburg lost its former golf director about a year ago, and that’s when the city began considering alternative models, including hiring an outside operator.
