Lisburn Golf Club. A Brief History of Key Decision Making
1905 1957 Lisburn Golf Club officially came into being at Longstone Street (9 holes) on a leased course of 42 acres. Subs: Men 1-1 - 0 (One guinea) Ladies 0 10 6 The opportunity arose to purchase the land that the course was on. The Members agreed to do so. Subs increased to:- Men 7-7 0 1970-1973 Longstone Street sold to Lisburn Council for 110,000 LGC bought the 120 acres of land at Blaris for 67,500. The Course and the Clubhouse were constructed at an overall cost of 215,000 leaving the Club with a deficit of some 170,000! Subs increased to:- Men 25.00
Other Key Decisions for Improvement followed:- 1980 Function / Dining area enlargement 14,000 1987 Pro Shop built after Blaris Lodge demolished 47,000 1991 The Dick Spratt land purchased (29 acres) 85,000 1993 Refurbishment of Lounge & Restaurant 74,000 1998 New Locker Rooms & Pitched Roofs over Entire Clubhouse 400,000 One can see that there is a steady pattern of Key Decisions that have been made over the years to ensure that the Clubhouse & Course Facilities were continually improved upon. It s now 25 years since the last major internal refurbishment - is it now time for a significant upgrade?
Many of the Members of Lisburn Golf Club who helped to make these key decisions, such as moving to Blaris and carrying out further developments, have passed away. Today we enjoy the legacy those key decision makers have left us.

BUT DOES OUR CLUBHOUSE REFLECT THESE OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENTS? IF WE RECALL FROM EARLIER IN THE PRESENTATION THE LAST ELEMENT OF MAJOR INTERNAL WORK TO THE CLUBHOUSE WAS THE CREATION OF THE 19 TH HOLE BAR AREA IN 1993 25 YEARS HAVE PASSED IS IT NOW THE TIME FOR US TO GIVE THIS CLUBHOUSE A MAJOR UPGRADE?
Financing the Chosen Option
Financial Approach to Funding Phased Development Financial Constraints / Principles: - The Club must continue to trade within the cash generated each year thus maintaining cash resources. The cash generated each year from normal sources (Subscriptions/Bar/Green fees) will allow continued development of the course and investment in equipment needed for the course. That Finance will be agreed with a Bank taking into account current outstanding loans and facilities key point! The development project will need to be fully covered by a levy from the eligible members
Estimated Loan Required to Fund Phase 1 / Phase 1 & 2 If Phase 1 only is to be undertaken Phase 1 Cost 383k Less Levy Collected 2018 ( 29k) Less Levy Collected 2019 ( 29k) Loan Required c. 325k If Phase 1 & 2 is to be undertaken together Phase 1 & 2 Cost 705k Less Levy Collected 2018 ( 29k) Less Levy Collected 2019 ( 29k) Loan Required c. 645k
Financial approach to funding phased development (Loan rate at 5.25% over 10 & 15 year repayment profiles- indicative figures) 10 year Loan Loan at 5.25% p.a. interest (Base Rate 0.75%+4.5% margin) Estimated Loan Amount Estimated Annual Levy (allows for 2% Base rate rises) Phase 1 only 325,000 85 p.a.
