Advisory committee suggests in-house management
The clock is ticking for the members of the Rhinelander Common Council to make decisions regarding the future of the city-owned Northwood Golf Club. The city’s contract with Oliphant Golf Management, the firm that has been operating the course for the city, is set to expire on Dec. 31, 2024 and an ad hoc advisory committee, formed a year ago after the club experienced a significant loss of membership, is recommending the council return the course to its former designation as a city department and run it without the assistance of an outside management company.
