St Francisville, West Feliciana, Louisiana, United States
Here's a Louisiana Golf Course for sale with Two Clubhouses (yes), that could not be created today for less than as much as $20 million. It needs work and is now offered by its aging owner for only $2.9 million. Why? The aging owner wants to be free of the daily operating demands of this property. Keep in mind that the course has been closed for two years. It currently has no maintenance equipment. It may take an estimated $4 million to refurbish and equip the golf course by the next owner. It can easily become a $20 million dollar world class property when refurbished.
Welcome to The Bluffs at Thompson Creek Golf & Sports Resort, home to the renowned Arnold Palmer signature course that claimed the top spot in Louisiana upon its inauguration in 1988. Distinguished by its unique topography, The Bluffs features rolling and hilly terrain, a stark contrast to the typically flat Baton Rouge area, with impressive 80-foot elevation changes throughout the property. This exceptional course spans 192 acres, seamlessly integrating a collection of distinctive golf holes across the undulating landscape. Complementing the golfing experience, the resort offers a range of amenities, including a 24,000 square foot event center complete with a fully equipped commercial kitchen, a secondary clubhouse featuring comprehensive food and beverage facilities, and a state-of-the-art fitness center. Additional highlights include a separate pro shop, a chapel, and an 8,000 square foot maintenance building. While the two pools at the clubhouse are currently out of service, plans for a future hotel on a designated five-acre tract adjacent to the event center are underway. Noteworthy investments have been made to enhance the resort's facilities, with the owner dedicating approximately $1,500,000 to improve the event center and restaurant. These enhancements encompass new flooring, painting, and the installation of a new roof, along with the addition of six new air conditioning units in the restaurant. Adjacent to the Lodge, a 2.5-acre parking lot provides further accommodation possibilities is included in the purchase price. The resort also includes eight recently remodeled condominium units valued at $75,000 each, all part of a rental pool. These condo units are available to purchase separately and not included in the purchase price. In the face of challenges, including severe damage to four golf course holes during a 1,000-year flood on Thompson Creek, The Bluffs has remained resilient. The Palmer group took charge of evaluating and reconstructing the golf course in 2022. Their comprehensive plan aims to fortify the course against future flooding incidents, ensuring its return to a pristine condition. The course has been temporarily closed since September 2021, with a notable absence of maintenance equipment and golf carts. However, the resort's buildings have been diligently maintained and are believed to be in excellent condition, awaiting the anticipated revival of this exceptional golf and sports destination.
