Our Proven Approach to Golf & Resort Property Sales
Whether you’re selling a golf course, resort, country club or community, our golf property specialists understand how to discreetly market and close transactions in these high-stakes asset classes. We focus on alignment, strategy, confidentiality and execution—ensuring you connect with serious buyers and achieve maximum value.
Our tactics center around four main priorities:
- Alignment
We provide market forecasts based on resort, master-planned communities and golf course real estate trends. This timely data is then utilized to create an in-depth asset valuation, the results of which dictates the next steps in our strategy toward a speed-to-value transaction.
- Strategy
HRE implements a structured sales process to proactively source buyers that meet your goals and objectives for new ownership. We also create a customized marketing strategy to generate targeted exposure and interest for your assets, while remaining thoughtful and creative in our approach.
- Discretion
We understand the need for discretion amongst investors, boards, customers, members and the community. All sale details will exist for interested/qualified buyers within HRE’s secured data rooms, accessible only after a signed non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is received.
- Execution
HRE’s national and international partnerships with various golf associations as well as our global network allows an expansive reach to private equity funds, family offices, developers and institutional investors. The breadth of contacts we bring to the table is unparalleled, extending beyond the traditional golf operator or commercial real estate investor. We are proactive about reaching eligible purchasers locally and nationally to improve the transactional valuation of your properties, minimize risk and sell on an expedited schedule.
We offer comprehensive marketing strategies that facilitate timely and lucrative transactions
Our Capabilities
In addition to developable land, golf properties typically include a variety of hospitality and retail amenities, such as pro shops, clubhouses, event spaces, restaurants, swimming pools, tennis/pickleball courts and fitness centers. Whatever it may be, our expertise in valuation and unique disposition strategies span across all asset types and ensure the effective and efficient maximization of value.
Examples of our capabilities in action include:
- Implementing Nationwide Multimedia Campaigns
To sell an award-winning resort, HRE created a targeted, nationwide multimedia program to increase accessibility & market the resort sale in a sealed bid auction. This golf-related real estate sale included an operating championship 18-hole course, full-service clubhouse with fitness center, tennis courts, pro shop, swimming pool, restaurant and locker rooms, as well as four golf villas, 23 luxury home condominium rentals and 57 residential home sites. The property was effectively and successfully sold to an investor group as a result of the auction.
- Managing Extensive Bankruptcy Portfolios
HRE assisted a client in the sale of two championship golf courses, a 1,200 acre lake, a portfolio of 600+ prime residential lots and a clubhouse. To do so, our team launched a four-week national marketing campaign utilizing our global network of golf course owners and managers, resort owners as well as select national, local and regional publications, which resulted in a timely offer and successful closing.
