Final Audit Report
St. Louis County – Parks and Recreation Department – Eagle Springs Golf Course
Audit# 2015-08
DATE:
December 10, 2015
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A request was made of the St. Louis County Auditor’s Office, by the Director of the St. Louis County Parks and
Recreation Department to independently review and assess the operation of two golf courses. These golf courses are on
land that is leased from the County. They are managed and operated by third parties, under contract with St. Louis
County. These golf courses are both on large tracts of land that adjoin other park properties. Both adjoin recreation
complexes. One of these recreation complexes has undergone significant renovation and improvement. The other is
currently being renovated.
Contracts with the firms that operate these golf courses include “right to audit clauses” which enabled the Auditor’s
Office to review financial statements, and documentation such as permits, inspections and certificates of insurance. This
clause and a few other key contract clauses are included in the Background section of this report.
The St. Louis County Auditor’s Office performed an audit of the operation of the Eagle Springs Golf Course. This golf
course is owned and managed under contract to St. Louis County, by St. Andrews Golf Club, Inc.
This golf course is located in north St. Louis County at 2575 Redman Road. It adjoins the North County Recreation
Complex which is located at 2577 Redman Road within Veterans Memorial Park.
An agreement was reached in 1988 between St. Louis County and St. Andrews Golf Club, Inc., to lease a portion of
Veterans Memorial Park, then build and develop a golf course facility on this leased property. St. Andrews Golf Club
built, developed and began operating the Eagle Springs Golf Course on the leased property.
This report summarizes our audit and review of the Eagle Springs Golf Course.
This audit was started on August 24, 2015. Fieldwork for the review was completed on October 20, 2015. Findings and
audit results were summarized on October 209, 2015. Both golf courses were reviewed concurrently. Results from each
review were compared. Several informal meetings were held during the audit to provide updates on our work.
The objectives of the review were to evaluate internal controls, evaluate operations and record-keeping against
requirements stated within a contract between St. Louis County and St. Andrews Golf Club, Inc. for the management of
the golf course. We evaluated the operation to verify compliance with key provisions stated within the contract.
It was our objective to document the current conditions at each golf course and make a determination whether the
properties were being maintained according to requirements stated within legal agreements. Management at the
companies that manage these golf courses were briefed in advance of our objectives. They assisted with the audit field
work.
i
We had four major objectives:
-
Audit work was performed to ensure that payments made to the County, agreed with requirements of the contract
and were supported by financial statements such as income statements and general ledgers. These annual
payments were reviewed to ensure the amounts were computed properly, were timely and were supportable.
-
Audit work was performed to determine if the properties were being maintained to standards stated within
agreements. Photographs were taken of the properties to document the condition of the property. These images
were provided to the firms that manage the golf courses and to management and staff within the Parks
Department. A set of these images were placed within the audit workpapers. This documented the condition of
the courses as of a particular date.
-
Audit work was performed to determine if licenses, permits and inspections have been obtained. We reviewed
licenses, permits and inspection certificates. They were photographed. Results were documented within the audit
workpapers.
-
Insurance certificates were obtained, reviewed and filed both by Audit and within the Parks Department, to prove
that required insurance coverage was in place.
We tested for compliance with key contract clauses.
A detailed description of the audit work performed is included within this report.
The auditors worked with golf course staff and management to review financial statements. The auditors worked with
golf course staff and management to document the condition of the course, buildings and property at a particular time by
taking digital photographs of the property. We performed an inspection of the courses and photographed tees, fairways
and tees. We photographed the interior and exterior of the buildings on the properties. We checked the condition of the
properties for health and safety concerns. We checked for compliance with key contract provisions.
The reviews of these two golf courses were conducted at the same time, to allow the comparison of the two, similar
eighteen-hole golf course properties operated under contract with St. Louis County. Our review was conducted
independently from reviews conducted by Parks and Recreation Department personnel. They also had inspected and
photographed the properties. The reviews of these two golf courses were conducted at the same time, to allow the
comparison of the two, similar eighteen-hole golf course properties operated under contract with St. Louis County.
Management of the golf courses were present during our audit work and were advised of our findings.
A closing meeting was held with management within the Parks and Recreation Department on October 23, 2015.
Management within the Parks and Recreation Department and the firms that operate these courses were provided results
of our review and were able to respond to suggestions and proposed audit recommendations. This is the final audit report
on the results of our review of the Eagle Springs Golf Course.
OPINION:
In our opinion, the Eagle Springs Golf Course has been well-maintained with a few minor exceptions as noted below.
We noted the following:
Financial statements are kept.
Insurance coverage has been obtained for the proper coverages and in the proper amounts.
Tees, fairways and greens were in good condition.
The interior and exterior of the club house were well-maintained, clean and in good condition.
The interior and exterior of the cart house was clean and in good condition.
We have noted concerns with these areas:
Specific sections of the golf cart paths are in need of repair.
We have suggested that preservative be applied to decking surrounding the club house to prevent damage to this
flooring. The deck is in good condition. A portion of this decking at the entrance had been repaired previously.
ii
KEY FINDINGS:
We interviewed management at the Golf Course, and observed the operation on several different times in September of
2015. We inspected the golf course and all building with management of the golf facility. We also reviewed
documentation such as financial statements and permits. We also interviewed Parks and Recreation personnel.
We noted these areas on the course which may need improvement. There may be additional areas that need repair. A list
and photographs of a representative sample of these areas are included as an attachment to this report. We focused on
areas that represented a health or safety hazard. We are reporting those areas of concern that were noted during our audit
field work:
-
Several sections of the golf cart paths are in need of repair to correct for broken or buckled asphalt. We are most
concerned with those specific sections of the golf cart paths where paths merge, there is a blind curve or there is a
significant change in elevation. We have identified and listed those sections of the golf cart paths which we
believe are most in need of repair.
-
We noted that the condition of the cart paths and turf on the lower numbered tees appear to be receiving more
wear and may require more attention that the tees and greens at the end of the course. There is more usage of the
earlier parts of the course as some customers only play nine holes of golf.
-
A small portion of the wooden decking that surrounds the club house was replaced and repaired. The decking and
the repair are in good condition. However we noted that the decking does not appear to have been treated or
painted recently.
We also noted the following:
Financial statements including income statement are kept.
Financial statements, including balance sheets are kept.
Amounts that were last remitted to St. Louis County (annual fees) were in the proper amount, based on gross
receipts.
Gross receipt and payments submitted were in the proper amount, based on a sampling of months from within the
prior year.
Insurance certificates were provided indicating that insurance coverage has been obtained, for the proper coverage
types and in the proper amounts.
The golf course’s club house was found to be in very good condition. The interior and exterior of the building
were found to be in very good condition.
Required licenses, permits and inspection certificates have been obtained and were on display. These permits
were copied during the audit.
Our findings regarding the condition of the course are supported by photographs taken of these properties. A
representative sample of these are included within this report. We noted areas where there may be a safety concern.
There may be additional areas in need of corrective action. We also interviewed management at the Golf Course, and
observed the operation on several different times in September of 2015. We interviewed Parks and Recreation personnel.
We also reviewed documentation such as financial statements and permits
CONCLUSIONS:
We have recommended that Parks and Recreation management work with the management of Eagle Springs Golf Course
to address the specific conditions noted. It may be necessary to develop a multi-year plan to ensure that the course, cart
paths and buildings are kept in good condition.
Our findings and recommendation were provided to and discussed with:
Gary Bess, Director – Parks and Recreation Department,
Tom Ott, Assistant Director – Parks and Recreation Department,
Bob Mainieri, Special Projects Manager – Parks and Recreation Department,
Bonnie Diaz, Contract/Funding Administrator – Parks and Recreation Department,
Don Rode, Chief Accounting Officer – Parks and Recreation Department.
iii
We advise Don Rode – Chief Accounting Officer of audit findings within every audit.
At the Eagle Springs Golf Course, the audit required assistance and cooperation from management and staff. Assistance
was provided by Tim Davenport, General Manager. We appreciate his assistance and cooperation and the assistance
provided by other staff.
This audit required assistance and cooperation from Management and Staff with the Parks and Recreation Department
including:
-
Gary Bess, Director – Administration – Parks and Recreation Department,
Tom Ott, Assistant Director – Administration – Parks and Recreation Department,
Bob Mainieri, Special Projects Manager – Parks and Recreation Department,

Detail of Audit Findings
I.
Condition of Golf Cart Paths
We reviewed the condition of golf cart paths with management of the facility. We photographed specific sections
of the golf cart path that we believe are in need of repair both to comply with this contract provisions and to
lessen the risk of injury to customers and employees. We have provided a separate document as an Appendix,
with photographs to support the findings below. We noted the following:
Section “C-7 - Maintenance of Golfing Facility” of the contract states, in part, “The Golfing Facility shall be maintained in
keeping with other well-run golf courses which are open to the public in St. Louis County.”
2nd Hole
After the 2nd tee, there is a section of the path that needs repair.
After the 2nd tee, there is a section of the path with a rough surface.
3rd Hole
After the 3rd tee, there is a section of the path that needs repair.
12th Hole
After the 12th tee, there is a section of the path that needs repair. The view from the path is partly
obstructed by landscaping. The path curves significantly at this point.
There is a section of rough surface on the path on the 12th hole.
13th Hole
There is a rough surface on the path on the 13th hole.
On the way to the 14th tee, the golf cart path parallels the main road entering the park. Carts
travel on one side of his curb. Vehicles travel on the other side of this curb. There is a hole in the
pavement at about the midpoint.
On the way to the 14th tee, the golf cart path parallels the main road entering the park. The gap
between the cart path and street has a large rut.
17th Hole
After the 17th tee, there is a portion of the path that has been repaired. The right side has been
repaired. The left side (while travelling in the direction of play) is in need of repair.
Recommendation
1.
We recommend that the Director of Parks and Recreation and his staff work with management of the
Eagle Springs Golf Course to develop a long term plan to repair sections of the golf course cart paths.
Management Response
1.
I agree with your recommendation. Parks engineering and construction personnel inspected the paths and
developed a specific list of problems. Given the scope and condition of the path we will develop a plan to
address any of the safety related defects first followed be repair or replacement of other sections of the
path system.

II.
Decking Surrounding the Golf Course Club House
We reviewed buildings on the Eagle Springs Golf Course. There is a club house. There is also a shed used for
storage of golf carts. Both buildings were reviewed in September of 2015 and found to be in good condition.
We noted that the deck material that surrounds the club house does not appear to have been treated recently with
preservative, stain or paint. A portion of the deck by the front door of the club house was previously damaged
and repaired. The repair is in good condition.
We have suggested that this decking be treated with stain, preservative or paint to lessen damage to the flooring
and to prolong the life of the materials.
Recommendation
2.
We recommend that Director of Parks and Recreation ensure that Eagle Springs Management maintain
the deck surrounding the club house.
Management Response
2.
I agree with your recommendation.

Permits
Proper permits and inspection were obtained inclusive of occupancy permits, building permits, health department inspections,
fire department inspections, business licenses and liquor licenses. Permits were on display. These include business licenses,
liquor licenses, and occupancy permits. We observed an inspection of the ventilation and hood by the fire department, in the
kitchen area, during the audit.
Other Areas
There is signage for the park at the entrance to the park.
There is signage for the golf course at the entrance to the park.
We have suggested that Park Management expand usage of an existing video surveillance system that was installed at the
recreation center to provide better security for parking lot areas used by visitors to both the recreation center and the golf
course.
Insurance Coverage
Insurance policies are in force with coverage types and amounts that conform to requirements stated within the contract.

Deck
The club house was in good condition. There is decking around the club house. It did not appear to have been treated
recently with preservative, stain or paint. The section near the front door had been replaced. It would be prudent to
try to avoid having to patch or repair this decking. We would suggest that golf course management apply a
preservative.
