The Golf Course Builders Association of America has more than doubled the number of line items for the 2008 construction and renovation costs guide.
The guide features average prices for more than 50 line items. Some of the new items featured in the guide include tee boxes, greens, bunkers, irrigation, grading, grassing, cart paths and drainage.
"The GCBAA periodically surveys its builder members to determine average prices on some of the more popular items for renovating or building a golf course," says Paul Foley, executive director for the GCBAA. "The guide also takes into account regional differences based on environmental considerations--this level of detail provides users with a fairly accurate estimation."
The guide is available on a CD-ROM and features information in (four or six) reports. The reports provide separated information on four regions of the continental United States. The data in each report is both Microsoft Excel and Adobe Acrobat Reader compatible.
Copies of the GCBAA cost guide can be purchased by calling 402-476-4444 or by visiting www.gcbaa.com. The guide includes a copy of the 2008 GCBAA member directory. The cost is $100 for non-GCBAA members and $50 for members.
