Hollywood, Fla. – June 17, 2021 –The City of Hollywood is accepting proposals for the redevelopment of the city-owned Orangebrook Golf and Country Club. CBRE, as the City’s exclusive real estate advisory firm, is handling the marketing of this one-of-a-kind opportunity for a public-private partnership.

Located at 400 Entrada Drive, this rare opportunity is comprised of approximately 245-acres that currently include a 36-hole golf course, a pro shop, lighted driving range, restaurant with full bar service and a banquet room that seats up to 250 people. The city seeks to unlock the development potential of the site by creating a project that includes a redesign of the current 36-hole facility into separate 18-hole championship and executive golf courses, complete with a new clubhouse, a new pro shop, golf cart barn and maintenance building, a new state-of-the-art driving range, a new chipping and putting area, along with infrastructure improvements and plans to operate the facility as one of Florida’s premier golf destinations.

CBRE’s Public Institutions specialist, Lee Ann Korst is leading the marketing efforts in collaboration with CBRE’s Senior Vice President Larry Genet.

“The opportunity to create a world class golf course with associated amenities in such an excellent location doesn’t come around very often,” said Ms. Korst, Southeast Regional Manager for CBRE’s Public Institutions and Education Solutions group. “Golf is a top priority for many of Hollywood’s residents and this offering will lead to innovative redevelopment proposals that are in line with all that South Florida and Hollywood have to offer.”

In accordance with Florida’s Public-Private Partnership Statute, the City of Hollywood received an unsolicited offer for the property and has provided public notice of acceptance of the proposal and willingness to accept competing proposals to finance, develop, construct and manage the redevelopment of  this City-owned golf course.. The City of Hollywood is interested in innovative proposals that replace the existing public amenities and take full advantage of the site’s location and characteristics.

“The Orangebrook golf course is ideally located along Interstate 95 in the heart of South Florida,” says Shiv Newaldsass, the City’s Director of Development Services. “Our goal is to increase the desirability of the course, partner with a strong development team to make it a premier golf destination, and ensure the course is financially viable for the long term.”
