Competitive Golf Courses This section examines those courses which would be considered as competition to the proposed facility, whether they are existing, under construction, or planned for development in the near future. The planned structure of the proposed course as either public (daily fee) or private will have a strong influence on which courses are competitive within the market area. A brief narrative on each competitive course is provided which contains pertinent information relative to the study. This information is based upon actual visits to these courses by an NGF consultant. Fromthis data, an estimate of the number of golf rounds currently being provided within the market area is obtained. Market Share The estimated potential demand for rounds of golf within the market area is compared to the current rounds being supplied by the competitive facilities. This determines the status of the market area in terms of being undersuIOIN pplied or oversup- plied for annual rounds of golf. Utilizing local weather trends, we project the number of potentially playable days and estimate the maximum number of rounds a golf facility in that area of the country could provide. Based upon the type of facility proposed and the anticipated quality of the course, we project the anticipated rounds of play for the first five years of operation, expressed as a percentage of maximum capacity for the area. Additionally, an appropriate range of green fees or membership dues over this same five year period is established. Significant Findings A brief summary of pertinent information relative to the proposed facility and the market area based upon our analysis is prepared. Recommendations Utilizing our findings from the study and knowledge of the market area, .-. recommendations are made pertaining to proceeding with the development of the proposed project_
