The proposed clubhouse would be designed by Melzer Deckert & Ruder of Irvine. About $6.5 million would come from the city's golf fund with the balance from the general fund. The existing clubhouse, which is used for private parties as well as by the public on a daily basis, is dated and does not meet current building safety codes and standards, said golf professional Scott Scozzola, who runs the 18-hole regulation course that opened in 1959. About 70,000 rounds of golf are played annually at the public course, Scozzola said. ``The whole layout of the clubhouse was built back in the day when there weren't many rounds of golf here,'' Scozzola said. ``It's obsolete OBSOLETE.
