The Sacramento County (Calif.) course has seen an average annual loss of $101,433, according to the Cordova Recreation and Park District. The District lists long-term upgrades and repairs—including the golf cart barn, irrigation system, parking lot improvements and pro shop-restaurant buildings—that could add up to $11 million.
