GUILDERLAND — The town is ending its relationship with Mallozzi’s, the long-time food-and-beverage vendor at the town-owned Western Turnpike Golf Course.

Guilderland Supervisor Peter Barber told the town board on Nov. 8 that the goal is to have a new vendor in place by the start of the next golf season.

Colin Gallup, the maintenance supervisor for the town’s Parks and Recreation Department, told The Enterprise that it was a mutual agreement, and that it was “time to move on.”

Mallozzi’s did not return repeated calls for comment.

When the town bought the golf course in 2002, Gallup said, the previous owner ran the clubhouse for a year, and then Mallozzi’s came in the following year.

Mallozzi’s worked through the end of the current golf season, he said. He noted on Nov. 13 that the golf course was temporarily closed that day because of bad weather, and that, depending on weather, the course might be open other days, but that the contract with Mallozzi’s is scheduled to end Nov. 15.

Discussions about ending the relationship started this year, Gallup said, noting that a request for proposals went up on the golf course website on Nov. 12. The town board had authorized the request on Nov. 8.

The vendor would, according to a notice on the golf course website, “operate a restaurant and bar at the golf course clubhouse, provide on-course mobile beverage services, and handle food and beverage needs at golf course facilities for members, guests, tournaments, leagues, outings, banquets, weddings and special events.”

The clubhouse includes a bar area, ballroom, Garden Room, Lake View Room, boardroom, member room, and kitchen, according to the request. Vendors can propose an outdoor seating area at the front of the clubhouse for mobile food and beverage service with a grill and outdoor fire pit. Near the entrance to the golf course, there is also a covered pavilion that holds up to 750 people.

Proposals have to show information including the vendor’s experience in the restaurant and catering business and knowledge of golf-course restaurant and catering operations, financial statements, and a description of the style of proposed restaurant and proposed menu with prices.

The deadline for proposals to be submitted is Dec. 28.

Proposals will be evaluated by a five-person committee consisting of Gallup; Herb Moreland, golf professional: Casey Childs, assistant golf professional; Linda Cure, public relations officer; and Don Csaposs, grant writer.

“We’ve had some interested parties, nothing official,” said Gallup.
