2010-09-03 With new leasing laws, golf developers eye Cuba

Hoping to lure in golf-playing tourists to Cuba - and eventually even U. S. golfers - the government will allow foreign investors to lease state lands for 99 years instead of the previous limit of 50 years. The extension is expected to make Cuba a more attractive place for foreign developers, who already have detailed plans for at least four golf resorts with seven courses - including a usd. 1 billion project. Some foreign investors have been reluctant to commit to the projects because the 50-year limit was too short and risky, said Antonio Zamora, a Miami lawyer who researches Cuban real estate issues. "I think most of them will be OK with the 99-year leases, although others have told me they will not do it" unless they can have full ownership rights to the

2010-08-31 Golf And Resorts - Why Golf Is Still Relevant By Darius Hatami, HVS Golf Services

HVS Golf Services, Boulder, Colorado Golf and Resorts, Why Golf is Still Relevant 2 There has, however, been little analysis on the financial impacts to hotel properties of having onsite golf available to guests. This article will review and analyze the current status of golf resort properties in the United States, and provide an understanding of the dynamics at play.
