Royal Oaks Country Club As an integral part of the loan underwriting for Bank One Corporation, Joseph A. Dengel & Company prepared a market value appraisal of this 650-member golf facility located in Dallas, Texas. Royal Oaks is a member-owned equity club that was originally constructed in 1969 and underwent a major rehabilitation and expansion in 1985. The development includes a high quality, traditional style 18-hole golf course designed by Don January and Billy Martindale, a 56,000 square foot clubhouse, an Olympic-size swimming pool, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, and some excess land. The valuation of Royal Oaks required a thorough review of the country club by-laws, an analysis of 15 different "equity" and "non-equity" membership categories, an assessment of a variety of food and beverage operations, a projection of future initiation fees and redemptions, plus a review of upscale country club developments situated in the competitive market. All three fundamental approaches to value (cost, income capitalization and sales comparison) were utilized in the appraisal of Royal Oaks CC with the resulting valuation used to support the collateral value of a new loan. Tour 18 Golf Clubs Joseph A. Dengel & Company performed an extensive market analyses and valuation of two, 18-hole daily fee golf courses located in suburban markets of Dallas and Houston, Texas. The appraisal reports were prepared for the loan department of Credit Lyonnais and were used to underwrite the acquisition of the two golf developments by Arnold Palmer Golf Management LLC. Both Tour 18 facilities include Championship-quality, 18-hole layouts featuring replications of some of the most famous golf holes in the United States. The valuation of the Tour 18 developments required the assessment of extensive food & beverage service operations, a review of atypically high merchandise sales, and an analysis of approximately 60,000 rounds per annum which resulted in extensive course maintenance requirements. The assignment also necessitated the review of over a dozen competitive golf developments in the Dallas and Houston markets that accommodate extensive tournament play, corporate outings and specialty events. Finally, sales of other high-end golf facilities were confirmed and analyzed in such diverse locales as Las Vegas, Santa Barbara, Palm Beach and San Antonio. Arnold Palmer Golf completed the acquisition of the Tour 18 facilities in late-1988 as a result of this valuation. Squaw Valley Golf Club
Holiday Golf Club Joseph A. Dengel & Company was retained by Bristol Hotel & Resorts to prepare a market study of competitive golf facilities for an 18-hole daily fee project located outside of Memphis, Tennessee. The comprehensive market study included a survey of competing public golf facilities situated in Shelby County, Tennessee and northern DeSoto County, Mississippi, plus an analysis of trends in the local and regional golf markets. This assignment also included consulting services to determine the cost-benefit ratio for a major renovation project to the golf course.
