Title
Report on the Event Center and Food and Beverage Services at Corica Park
Body
To: Honorable Chair and Members of the Golf Commission
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Corica Park is a 45-hole golf complex, owned by the City of Alameda (City) with two onsite operators. Greenway Golf (Greenway) is the golf operator and Jim's on the Course (Jim's) is the food and beverage concessionaire.
