Corpus Christi Extends Partnership with Foresight Golf Following Record-Breaking 2025 Performance
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX – At today’s regularly scheduled City Council meeting, the Council approved amending the initial term of the agreement from a 10-year to a 30-year lease with Foresight Corpus Christi Golf, LLC, securing the management of Gabe Lozano Golf Center and Oso Beach Golf Course through 2041. The agreement includes options for two additional five-year renewals and maintains a revenue-sharing model where the City receives 50% of annual net revenue.
The extension follows a landmark year for the City’s golf facilities, driven by strategic capital investments and the 2024 remodel of The Firefly Golf Course at Lozano Golf Center.
