<\/p>\nFARGO \u2014 The Fargo Park District is raising its 2027 golf fees by 4% and has created two season pass categories, one for residents and another for nonresidents with different price points, for next season.<\/p>\n
Residents will receive a 10% pre-tax discount on season passes, however with the overall increase, a season pass for all five courses will cost $30 more than in 2026.<\/p>\n
The price hike for a single adult Fargo resident pass will be $1,090 in 2027, compared to $1,060 this year. For nonresidents, it will be $1,210. The increases reflect 27.5% and 41.5% jumps over 2023 passes, respectively.<\/p>\n
Fargo Park District golf director Rocky Papachek told The Forum the resident\/nonresident packages have been discussed in recent years.<\/p>\n
“It really just recognizes the financial support residents provide the Park District through their property taxes,” Papachek said.<\/p>\n
For daily green fees, the Park District will also remove a Monday-Thursday discounted rate for 2027, as all days are considered prime golf days, Papachek wrote in his proposal for the July 14 Park Board meeting.<\/p>\n
With the additional 4% pre-tax increase, Rose Creek and Edgewood\u2019s daily green fees will be $46.75, up from this year\u2019s $45. In 2023, green fees for those courses were $37.75.<\/p>\n
The Park District also combined the junior restricted and junior unrestricted into a single junior pass for 2027.<\/p>\n
Senior rates will be $37.50 in 2027 for those 62 and older, from this season\u2019s $36.<\/p>\n
Golfers can also see slight increases in cart rentals and range ball fees. A medium bucket, for example, will go up 50 cents to $10.50.<\/p>\n

According to Park District data, the number of rounds played at Fargo public courses continues to increase. <\/p>\n
The nine-hole Osgood course had the most rounds played last season among Fargo’s five courses with 38,578. It led to a record 163,076 total rounds across the five courses.<\/p>\n
“This year we’re tracking 1,300 rounds ahead of last year’s record,” Papachek said.<\/p>\n
In 2019, 99,396 rounds were played in total.<\/p>\n

This upcoming fall at Osgood, Papachek said the Park District’s most-utilized driving range will be leveled and sodded with with new turf this fall. The driving range net is scheduled to be replaced this fall at Edgewood. At Rose Creek, a strip of artificial turf will be added to the driving range.<\/p>\n
In Moorhead, the 2027 rates will be part of the Park Advisory Board meeting in August, city recreation director Sean Brandenburg said.<\/p>\n
From 2022 to 2026, standard adult green fees in for the 18-hole public courses in Fargo and Moorhead have seen similar increases, with Fargo’s up 24% and Moorhead up 25%.<\/p>\n
Standard weekday green fees for Village Green and Meadows are $40 for adults, a 5.3% increase of $2 since last season.<\/p>\n
An unrestricted season pass for both Moorhead courses rose 5.9% over that same span from $850 in 2025 to $900 this season.<\/p>\n
In all, an adult season pass for both courses in Moorhead has risen 16.1% since 2022. In Fargo, a 5-for-1 season pass rose 32.5%. Golfers this year paid $900 in Moorhead, up from $775 in 2022. In Fargo, the 2022 pass was $800 and had risen to $1,060 this season.<\/p>\n
