Course Cost Breakdown

Centex Golf Course Construction

Why Golf Courses?

• Many developers of golf communities have built courses to satisfy municipal or state requirements for open space in their housing developments.

• Courses will significantly increase the price of the surrounding real estate market, bringing a larger profit margin to Centex Corp.

• Growing demand for land and homes located on golf courses

Example Project

• Average course construction will fall between 2.5 million and 3.5 million dollars

• For an average area in Florida, Building 2 identical houses with one built on a golf course and one that is not on a course the price difference will range between 20-50 thousand dollars.

• We will be planning around 250 houses located on each course, which will bring in an extra 5-12.5 million dollars.

• After realizing the actual cost to build the course, Centex will then see an additional 2.5-10 million dollars on each development
