Fallon Golf Course Inc. is the nonprofit organization responsible for operating and maintaining the Fallon Golf Course, a 118‑acre public facility owned by Churchill County. Formed in 2016 after the county ended its contract with Duncan Golf Management, the nonprofit oversees daily operations, long‑term planning, and improvements to ensure the course remains accessible to residents and visitors.
The county purchased the course in 2013 for $695,000, and the nonprofit has managed it since its formation. Its responsibilities include coordinating public access, maintaining the grounds, and working with local partners to support community use.
During February 2026 budget discussions, Fallon Golf Course Inc. President Alan Kalt outlined the course’s recent financial performance. He reported $647,000 in revenue and a $20,452 loss in 2023, followed by $651,000 in revenue and a $24,699 loss in 2024. In the most recent year, he said the course was profitable, earning $12,741 in net income. Increased use has also created challenges, including overcrowding and the need for additional rules.
Long‑term planning remains a priority for the organization. At the February meeting, Kalt asked commissioners to preserve enough land for a potential future expansion from nine to 18 holes. While the course is not currently seeking to expand, he referenced land across the river and the old York property as possibilities and asked that alternative land be preserved if those areas are developed for housing.
Kalt also requested continued public support for the course. He asked commissioners to maintain the county’s $50,000 contribution toward the course’s $75,000 in annual public funding, with the remaining $25,000 provided by the City of Fallon. He identified several capital improvement needs, including safety concerns with a bridge, the gravel parking lot, and the aging clubhouse. He suggested adding lighting and eventually paving the lot to improve safety and accessibility.
