The Taylorville Kiwanis Club heard from the long-time manager at Lake Shore Golf Course south of Taylorville, at their Tuesday meeting at the Moose Lodge.
Jason Boldig and his family have leased Lake Shore to manage since 2011, and are presently in a three-year agreement with the facility. Boldig told Kiwanis members he employs between 15 and 20 people during the golfing season.
Boldig added Lake Shore offers two-year memberships for 298-dollars, and that membership is also good at Meadowview Golf Course in Mattoon, Timberlake Golf Course in Sullivan, and The Oaks Golf Course in Springfield.
Boldig cited recent improvements at Lakeshore Golf Course including replacing the sprinkler system, renovations on the bunkers, installing Rip Wrap in the bank of hole #17 to protect from erosion, and tree removal and replacement.
Several leagues play at the course including a Men’s League, Women's League, Men’s Senior League, Boys and Girls Leagues as well as the Taylorville High School Golf team.
The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is part of a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time. Weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at noon at the Taylorville Moose Lodge. For information on the club, go to taylorvillekiwanis.com.
