Development & Acquisition
Meadowbrook Golf has extensive experience in the development and renovation
of golf facilities, including golf courses, clubhouses, maintenance centers and
all support elements. More than 80 golf course development projects and renovation
projects have benefited from the company's expertise over the past decade.
Meadowbrook Golf is capable of taking any golf project from ground
breaking through opening day and into daily operation. We have confronted and
solved all manner of permitting, environmental, financial and even political problems
related to golf development. Meadowbrook Golf is an effective Owner's representative,
dedicated to meeting your schedule and your budget. Your golf development or renovation
project will benefit in many ways from having Meadowbrook Golf on your team:
Fees to golf course architects, clubhouse architects and engineers
will be lower. First, because we know what the negotiating leverage is, and second,
because these professionals realize that our project management expertise will
help them be more efficient.
Plans and specifications will be more complete and more tightly written,
because we are professionally demanding on the other members of the planning and
design team.
Contractor bids will be lower, and so will final negotiated prices.
This is because:
- Every contractor will know what to expect;
- We insist on detailed plans and specs;
- We pre-qualify bidders, checking their references and past projects;
- Our experience enables us to draw more "value engineering" out of the design
team and the contractors;
- We negotiate aggressively on every aspect of the project, from the golf
course construction contract to the golf cart lease.
The golf course will be more interesting, more fun to play and easier
to maintain. If you visit past projects, you will see examples of how our input
added drama, interest, playability, maintainability and market appeal to the finished
golf course.
Quality and workmanship will be improved. We know how to coordinate
and supervise all facets of the development during construction.
Project organization will be smooth. We monitor the Owner's development
budget and update it as required, organize and attend all project meetings, track
draw requests, monitor lien waivers and insurance certificates, negotiate change
orders, monitor schedule adherence and expedite the punch list work.
Pre-opening marketing will be more aggressive and more effective.
Whether your project is public or private, we will help you create and implement
an effective marketing plan. The goal is to build excitement and have a full
tee sheet on opening day.
Meadowbrook's development and project management services can be
tailored to match the needs of your project. In areas where you already have
expertise, we can stay in the background and provide consulting assistance as
needed. If you can benefit from our full range of development services, we will
manage all aspects of the project under your direction.
