50 Golf Clubs: One Successful Transaction

Capitalizing on an opportunity to strengthen its position as The World Leader in Private Clubs™, ClubCorp sought to acquire Sequoia Golf’s stock and assets consisting of 30 owned, three leased and 17 managed properties. The challenge was that it had to be negotiated and closed in two months. A long-term client relationship with ClubCorp allowed Brownstein to ramp up quickly facilitating the equity purchase and managing the real estate aspects of the transaction. The deal, valued at roughly $265 million, successfully closed within the two-month timeframe increasing ClubCorp’s private club count from 150 to 209. Today, Brownstein continues its long-term representation providing legal counsel on a number of matters.
