At a special meeting on June 24, 2016, the DeKalb Park District Board of Commissioners approved discounts for military veterans at District golf courses and at Hopkins Pool. The rate for veterans at Buena Vista Golf Course is $6 for 9 holes and $12 for 18 holes. The rate at River Heights Golf Course is $8 for 9 holes and $14 for 18 holes, with a twilight rate of $11. Golf cart rental at both courses for all veterans is $5. No non-resident rates will be charged to veterans. The Hopkins Pool veteran rate for daily admission is $4.
The vote to approve the discounted rates for veterans was unanimous. “We continue to support our Veterans through discounts such as this”, stated Phil Young, President of the DeKalb Park Board. “These discounts express the District’s profound appreciation for what our military personnel have endured and continue to do to protect us on a daily basis”.
In addition, over the 4th of July weekend (July 1-4), veterans can golf for free at both District golf courses and receive free pool admission. Veterans will be asked to show proof of their veteran status with a DD 214, proof of VA benefits, military retiree ID, veteran ID card or with a veteran designation on their driver’s license.
As a part of this action showing appreciation for military personnel, the District also will be offering free golf to active duty military personnel home on leave. Those active duty military personnel home on leave can receive a voucher for 2 free rounds of golf and 2 admissions to Hopkins Pool.
