Marcus & Millichap Awarded Exclusive Listing to Sell Eagle Ridge Golf Club in Fort Myers, Florida

Tampa, FL, February 21, 2014 --(PR.com)-- National Golf & Resort Properties Group of Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, the nation’s largest real estate investment services firm, has been retained to exclusively market for sale the Eagle Ridge Golf Club located in Fort Myers, Florida, according to Steven Ekovich, Managing Director of the National Golf & Resort Properties Group. Matthew Putnam, Associate is the listing broker for this REO golf acquisition course opportunity.

Priced at $2,100,000, the exclusive offer to acquire Eagle Ridge Golf Club in Fort Myers, Florida, is the perfect addition to any golf portfolio or for first-time buyer. This offer includes a daily-fee, 18-hole golf course designed by course architect Gordon Lewis. The Club has been under Bank REO ownership for over three years and therefore presents a significant upside opportunity for potential investors. The property covers approximately 129 acres within Fort Myers. The course is complemented by a short-game practice area and a functional, 6,400-square foot clubhouse with Pro Shop and casual dining.

Mr. Putnam states, “Fort Myers is a strong market for golf, with considerable demand from retirees, local homeowners and seasonal visitors. While the market features a relatively high number of golf courses, the majority of these are private clubs which cater to immediate neighborhoods. A well-maintained public course, such as Eagle Ridge, is strategically positioned to capture a large portion of local golfers and out-of-area guests. Many of today’s golfers feel they receive greater value by playing at high-quality public facilities, rather than paying monthly dues.”

In addition, Eagle Ridge has had year-over-year growth in revenue since 2010, with positive cash flow and a 2013 CAP Rate of 11%. Eagle Ridge played over 36,000 rounds in 2013.
