Dogwood Hills Golf Resort - Osage Beach, MO

In 1962 the Dogwood Hills Golf Resort opened to the public along the beautiful and massive Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. After years of success, the owners noticed an increase in tourism as well as strong growth in the local economy; they became curious about the potential for redevelopment. The former 18-hole public golf course was proposed to include 90 hotel rooms, 231 independent living units, 90 assisted living units, 80 nursing home units, 222 apartment units, as well as 480,000 square feet of retail space and 280,000 square feet of office space.

Facility Upgrade Analysis

Facility Upgrade Analysis

Ranch Country Club - Westminster, CO

THK Associates was hired by the Ranch Country Club in Northern Denver to determine the financial feasibility of upgrading various facilities at the course within the current economic climate. THK engaged in a wide breadth of activities to service the client’s needs. A golf feasibility study identified the current market demand for golf along local courses vying for golf rounds played. This demand for golf eventually created the foundation for memberships and guest rounds, facility utilization, golf cart rentals, and facility sales from food, beverage and the pro shop, etc. Current sales were compared to a projected increase in sales assuming the renovated facilities could capture additional players.
