jhellrung Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Well, this can't be good. ClubCorp, owner/operator of over 200 golf courses, has been sold to a PE firm. Not to sound like a tinfoil hat guy, but I'm hoping that the plan isn't to use the real estate on these places to build more houses. ClubCorp has some really nice courses, and I'm sure they won't plow under the real gems, but a PE's goal is pretty much the opposite of a traditional golf club. PE's want to maximize profit, and traditional clubs want to create an enjoyable experience for members. Should be interesting to watch, though as a ClubCorp member I wish I were watching from the sidelines.

Golfspy_CG2 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I read an article on this yesterday from the WSJ I believe. I'm not very knowledgeable on how Private Equity firms operate. But all indications are the owners of the firm said they intend on keeping a lot of the Club Corp staff and operating them courses as they have been doing. It just seemed like owners of ClubCorp were looking for cash to get out. I'm sure there is a lot more to come on this, it will be interesting to follow.
