The Version 7.1 Cost Estimating Guide, released in February 2022, features average prices for more than 80-line items associated with golf course construction, along with manual line items for specific project needs.
"Since it was first introduced in 1996, our cost guides have been a must have for everyone involved with golf course construction and renovation," said Justin Apel, GCBAA executive director. "Version 7 has everything developers, designers, architects, superintendents, appraisers, and builders would need to estimate costs. It's just an excellent tool to use in developing a budget for a project on any scale."
The cost estimating guide uses the Microsoft Excel platform and features information in seven zone categories, which include 18-hole renovation, 18-hole renovation rototill, USGA greens renovation, tee renovation, bunker renovation, irrigation renovation, new 18-hole construction and a build-your-own-course manual mode. To ensure cost accuracy, line-item costs are broken down by state along with additional subareas for more accurate pricing.
