Description

Overview

THE CLUBS OF CORDILLERA RANCH is the core amenity to one of the most successful  master planned communities in Texas, Cordillera Ranch. This 9,000 plus acre oasis in the  Texas Hill Country is anchored by one of the top-ranked golf courses in Texas, a Jack Nicklaus Signature Course which opened in 2006. The Club also earned the prestigious honor of "Golf Course of the Year" by the National Golf Course  Owners Association in 2014. 

The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch is very unique in that it offers more than the traditional  Club; in fact we call it seven clubs with one membership: Golf Club, Social Club,  Fitness and Spa, Rod and Gun Club, River Club, Equestrian Club and Tennis and Swim  

Club. The success of the Club during its 19-year history of operations can be evidenced  by the consistent year-over-year net membership gain every year since inception, even  during the worst years of the recession in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Further, we've achieved  membership growth without ever reducing initiation deposits (currently $90,000 for  Golf) or monthly dues (currently $1,300 for Golf), a testament to the commitment to  succeed by delivering an exceptional product, as opposed to discounting the product.  The Club currently has over 850 active Members, including 450 Golf Members.

The Club has grown NOI every single year since inception and is a profitable operation  with no third-party debt on the facilities. Otherwise, the 40,000 square  foot Clubhouse, 20 golf holes, equestrian facilities, Outfitter Center, 10-station sporting  clays course, tennis and swim facilities are fully paid off. The Club boasts 2 luxurious Lodge units near the clubhouse for short-term rental.  The Elmax offers (4) Deluxe Suites and (2) Deluxe Rooms while the George offers (4) Deluxe Rooms and a Common Room with a full kitchen and living room. The operation of these Lodges is under the  management of the Membership and Lodging Director who reports to the GM.  Long-term, the developer has plans for a total of 40+ rooms; however, these rentals can only be accessed by Club Members, their guests and Member prospects in order to  preserve the exclusivity of Cordillera Ranch.

The Community  

Cordillera Ranch is a master planned community of low density development spanning  12 miles across and bordered on the north by roughly five miles of the Guadalupe River.  The residential lot development was started in 1997 by DH Investment Company (DHI)  and after several years of success in selling estate home sites, DHI added the private  club amenities from 2006 through 2009. Over 1,500 home sites have been developed  and sold to date and another 1,200+ or more are planned for the years ahead. Lots  average approximately $500k and homes over $2MM, with a range of $1MM to  $5MM+. Given the close proximity to San Antonio (20 minutes north of La Cantera  and The Rim shopping area), great school district (Boerne ISD is highly regarded  throughout the state) and diverse array of amenities, Cordillera is mostly a primary  residence community (though many have second homes elsewhere.) 

The Developer/Owner 

Unique for a development with this scale and history, Cordillera Ranch has been under  the same ownership and management for its entire 25+ year history. The Clubs of  Cordillera Ranch is still owned by the original developer and because of its importance  as an amenity to real estate sales, there are no intentions to relinquish control of the  Club at this time. This stable history has not only resulted in consistency in the vision for  the community and the club, but also highlights the financial discipline of the developer,  DHI, in successfully managing the real estate development and Club through challenging  economic cycles. The conservative philosophy of the tightly-held ownership of the Club  provides a singular point of reporting for the General Manager-there are no  committees to whom the GM report
