Troubled Golf Asset Management

KemperSports introduces a new initiative exclusively focused on golf course risk management.


Our Mission

KemperSports’ response to today’s difficult economic times is to leverage more than 30 years of golf, resort and hospitality experience towards a new initiative focused on providing risk management services to troubled and distressed golf and resort properties. Our goal is to utilize our knowledge of the business of golf and partner with clients to stabilize under-performing golf or resort operations while maximizing the ultimate value of our clients’ troubled golf assets. This approach expands the owner’s options – whether to hold onto a more profitable operation for the long term or to ultimately dispose of a golf asset at a higher price.

History of Success

Throughout the years, KemperSports has provided an array of troubled golf asset management services to golf real estate developers, equity funds and banks.  These golf course risk management services have ranged from basic consulting to workout strategies to full golf asset management services. Our clients have included golf lenders, receivers, bankruptcy lawyers and golf property owners. For more details on some of our successes, please refer to our case studies section.

Critical Actions

Stabilizing and turning around a troubled or distressed golf assets requires a unique set of resources, strategies and expertise. KemperSports knows how to manage a golf course and has the necessary portfolio of golf course risk management services and industry experience to lead this endeavor. Here is more information on what we do best:


Understanding the Issues
In order to understand why a particular golf or resort asset has become troubled, KemperSports relies on the experience gained throughout its history of owning and managing golf assets across the United States and the Caribbean. KemperSports conducts an extensive analysis of your customers, facility, market and financials to uncover the core issues that are challenging your property. Based on these findings, we then work closely with you to develop a strategy for repositioning your asset. 


Taking Action
We immediately begin stabilizing your operations by implementing our proven, proprietary programs and systems. We focus on immediately improving customer service standards through our True Service™ program, enhancing overall playing conditions and realizing cost savings through our extensive national buying programs. At the same time, we begin executing against the agreed-upon longer term strategy, which includes optimizing staffing, pricing, customer acquisition and retention initiatives and other programming that supports your property’s optimal role in the marketplace and drives business results. The end result is a repositioned and financially stable property that is a more valuable – and marketable – asset.

 

Providing Options
Overall, our goal is provide you with options. Once your asset is stabilized and strengthened, you will be able to transition your position from that of a “forced” hold or sale and determine the best course of action to meet your short- and long-term objectives. The choice of determining whether to hold or sell can be vastly different in terms of realizing a fair value for your golf or resort asset, which can result in millions of dollars in enhanced value at historical EBITDA sales multiples.
