Willow Park Golf Course

Financial Plan

The following is the financial plan for the Willow Park Golf Course. We anticipate a first year of fluctuating sales and expenses as we become established physically, and in the minds of our target market. The first year we will have one time expenses in restoring the course and establishing our maintenance routines. As our existence and reputation become known we steady growth, and a more even membership sales as golfers from cold snowy climes travel to the Crest Canyon area, and Willow Park particularly to play golf during the winter months.
