| Count me in! I've been dreaming the same thing for many years. As a
matter of fact, I've already got dibs on 80 acres of land. It's my
father-in-law's now, but he's already made provisions to pass it along
to my wife. The only stipulation is that she not sell it for 10
years. In that amount of time a course can really start to mature.
It'll be a few years before it's ours (f-i-l is 65), but I can wait.
That should give you enough time to come up with the rest of the
cash. By that time we will probably need $20M. Ah, keep dreaming....
I'm still

| 497.3 | How much for a hole? | FRSBEE::GARY | | Tue Jan 17 1989 15:08 | 7 |
| re .0
I think you forgot sand. Lots of sand. It shouldn't cost too
much, relative to everything else. Of course, then you have buy
big holes to put it into. :^)

| 497.5 | new Golf Course in Bradford, MA | VICKI::SMITH | Consulting is the Game | Wed Jan 18 1989 13:49 | 14 |
| If anybody would like to see a Golf Course that's under
construction, then I'd suggest that you checkout the 18 Holer
that's being built in Bradford, MA for a cost of $15m
note: this is the site of the old 9 Holer (Bradford Country Club),
but they've hired a professional Golf Architect, bought
more Acreage, and will be building/selling Single Family
homes on the property! The front 9 is about 85% sculptured,
the back 9 is about 35% sculptured, and the homes haven't
been built. Rumor has it that the home prices start at $189k
see ya at the 19th.,

| You migh also want to journey over to Atkinson, NH and observe
the new course being built. Nine holes ready for play in 90, and
the other nine in 91. Also to have house lot in the development.
It is being developed by Steve Lewis of Lewis Builders, Inc of
Atkinson.

| My dream, too.
Don't forget:
Earth moving
Tees (they cost almost as much as greens if done properly)
Cart paths
Practice area (150 acres is just about adequate, depending on
terrain.
Good luck. You can do it if you REALLY want to. I had a friend,
recently deceased, who started 4 golf clubs in the area and personally
designed and built them. Two are now 18 hole country clubs and
two are 9 hole clubs.

There was a good article in the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune, this
past Tuesday (April 15th). It talked about the new courses that
are being built in the southern NH northern Mass area. It also
stated that you need about 125 to 200 acres of land and the
cost per hole is roughly $200,000...!

| So, Gene, according to the article, just WHERE are the new couses
being built in Southern NH & Northern MA? Public? Private?
Thanks,
