Charleston, S.C. – It’s widely understood how COVID has impacted golf as a game… but how has it impacted golf facilities’ values?
Whether golf course owners are considering selling, seeking an acquisition, or just interested in how to maximize the value of their property, Golf Property Dispositions & Acquisitions — Planning Your Path With Precision is a crucial must-attend session at Golf Business Conference 2023.
At GBC23 in Orlando later this month, Larry Hirsh, President of Golf Property Analysts, and Ryan Rafter, Managing Director of Hilco Real Estate Sales, will explore the latest trends in the golf real estate market and explain in detail what impacts a property’s value. Attendees will learn best practices in maximizing value, how to market their properties, how to plan and time capital improvements, what’s important in acquisition due diligence, what factors to consider when executing a transaction, how to develop an exit strategy, and more.
“Our focus is providing course owners and operators the tools to have an educated understanding of their asset’s value and how to best position their asset for maximum profitability,” said Rafter. “Attendees will have a better understanding of value from both the buy and sell sides.”
“It’s important for owners to have an exit strategy,” added Hirsh. “Part of that is knowing not only the value of the asset but how to maximize that value, what issues to address and how to market the property effectively when the right time comes.”
GBC23 will be held from January 23-25 in Orlando, Florida, co-located with the 2023 PGA Show. This session will take place Tuesday, January 24 at the Rosen Centre (the GBC23 host hotel). GBC23 education sessions are eligible for continuing education units (CEUs) for Professional Golfers Association (PGA), Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA), Club Management Association of America (CMAA), and Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA).
