CORPUS CHRISTI, TX \u2013 At today\u2019s regularly scheduled City Council meeting, the Council approved amending the initial term of the agreement from a 10-year to a 30-year lease with Foresight Corpus Christi Golf, LLC, securing the management of Gabe Lozano Golf Center and Oso Beach Golf Course through 2041. The agreement includes options for two additional five-year renewals and maintains a revenue-sharing model where the City receives 50% of annual net revenue.<\/p>\n
