So $1.5 m more than its value as farmland. Not a bad price for a top notch golf course, big house, clubhouse, and airfield...

There was a live auction component to the process that I did not understand.

Any word as to whether the bidder will keep the golf course? I really hope so.

I'll let the buyer/seller announce when they get it all worked out - but it looks to remain a golf course in some form.

As part of the informational package for the auction was the yearly golf course maintenance budget included?  I would be curious to know what that figure is on annual basis, though it's none of my business.


Glad the property went at a premium to the land value.

Tom,
I don't know what info was shared with the buyer.
I did meet with many of the perspective buyers, and had permission from the owner to be fully transparent about everything having to do with the golf course from actual costs to construction and maintenance methods. But the winning bidder never reached out to me so I don't know what info they had.

Don,


Congratulations to you, Mike, and Al's family.  Like most here, I hope that the new owners find a way to maintain the course in the manner you did for all the years Al and his friend (Dale?) played it most days.  Along with Trinity Forest, WP provides a very unique golfing experience to Texas.  Please let us know when the sale closes and any other information that the new owner is comfortable sharing.

So I have to know, were the camels part of the deal or not?

Congrats to Don, Mike and all Stranz ‘ interests.  Wolf Point is special to all of us and to the game, too.

John, for the record its Stanger not Stranz...  I never met the man, but hopefully his spirit lives on at WP

Yesterday I heard the camels are staying. Nice to know there will still be a gallery watching tee shots on #4

Awesome, I thought Wolf Point would make sense for their portfolio. Great to hear it might be seen by more people now

Zack is spreading the word with somewhat cryptic posts on Instagram and Facebook.  I spent some time with him last week and I like what I heard.

Quit teasing.  Let us in his thinking.


Unlike Ryan, I didn't see the fit.  Might a second course be more than a wish?

Lou, I can’t tell you his thinking re the use of the course. We didn’t talk about that. Plus that’s his story to tell. Our discussions were more about how the course was built and maintained.

If it is true that Dormie purchased it, I agree. Dormie already owns Briggs Ranch in San Antonio. Between the two of them it would make a fun trip.
