Why is the Golf Course property so expensive?

I will pwn you newbs

As long as you saved the assassinations until the end and invested properly you will have more money than you know what to do with. And that's after buying everything.

As many people have said, play the stock market correctly and $150M is nothing.

 

Didn't even make a dent in my savings haha.

Imo its their attempt to make the game seem like it has more playability than it actually does. Saving for it without investing during the assassination missions is near impossible and will take you forever. I think it was there way of making a large portion of the community say "I've not fully competed GTA V yet because I haven't bought the last property"

worst of all you can't get to play golf for free when you buy it.

I purchased every property on the map and the golf course certainly brings in a substantial amount of cash compared to the lower end lots. Michael makes a few hundred thousand dollars a week from his investments, IIRC.

 

edit: BTW, I made nothing from the assassin missions. I made my millions from BAWSAQ. It's easy and it's right there in front of everybody, yet nobody sees it.

Buying this golf course would send me down to $1.5billion. Damn they need to add more stuff to buy in this game.

Not too hard to save up for it. Two ways - one the one i hate: Lester Assassination missions.

Two - keep an eye on HAL and WIZ in the stocks. That's all.

 

I made 200MIL off mission with WIZ - and it's dropped/climbed that much 3 times in my playthrough. It dropped to -99 at one point then shot up to +200.

 

But on topic: i think the main reason is to satisfy the "something to spend on" criteria. Easier to make a buyable property than to implement a complicated list of wacky car mods (guns, oil slick etc) or cool weapons (predator drone) or some of GTA O's merryweather backup, or even purchasable/rentable toys like RC cars or NV goggles. Instead of allowing us to buy that sh*t, they slapped a quick fix of 150 MIL property so we'd spend our money. Look at prices in GTA O. $1,000 for a T shirt?

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

I have it after doing the Lester assasination Stock trade thing. Its nothing special, does not make you feel cool or badass like I expected.. Michael is still a non badass after I bought it for him.

Maybe if I could do stuff around the golf course and enter it, I wouldn't have a problem with buying it.

You can play the entire game without ever buying anything unless you have to for a mission, which is only a couple of times. Then there are plenty of missions like collecting the waste, security trucks and raiding the weed farm that bring in some money. If you do everything in the game before making the final decision (that's when you're paid for the final heist) then do the Lester missions you will have more than enough to buy every property in the game.

Just use the save editor. It's the most easiest and efficient way.

It makes sense to me The LS golf course is $150,000,0000. It's a huge area & it attracts the wealthy. Just wish we can earn more than $263k a week from it. You can buy the 10 cent theater as Michael for only $20 million & make the same ammount. It would make more sense & would be more worth the price tag if the weekly income was around $1 million or more.

 

One trick I'm trying is I bought the 10 cent theater for $20 million & by sleeping a bunch of times to make a week go by I can earn a few million inside of a real world day. After I have $150 million I'm buying the golf course so that way with the combined weekly incomes of both the 10 cent theater & the LS golf course I can make over 486k in a GTA week! Over time it can be an easy few million $.

I remember when the game first came out and people at my old school were talking about this exact topic.

 

 

Seriously, out of all things, why is the golf place the most expensive property?

It's so expensive because it takes up alot of land in a CITY. Do you know how expensive land is in a city?

 

 

 

 

The price of a business is based on the income it generates. Or, as most likely is the case with the Los Santos Golf Club, the perks you get.

According to the United States Golf Association, average golf course construction ranges from $1.6M to $4.5M with some exceeding $10M. Yearly maintenance ranges from $635K for private courses, $576K for resort courses, and $383K for municipal courses.

 

Realistically speaking, there is no reason whatsoever for the golf course to cost the player $150M. At that price you could own 30 golf courses in real life.

 

Source: USGA Building and Maintaining the Truly Affordable Golf Course.

 

True, however, that is prime real estate. If you divided the land up in to plots and sold it off to various developers to build a commercial complex it would easily fetch 150 million. I'm guessing the price is reflecting the maximum earning potential of the land, never mind it being a golf course.

What perks do you get?

When a character owns it golf games are free for them (usually it's $100) and the dress code no longer applies so it won't change them into a golfing outfit when they play. That's literally it lmao, some "perks".

well, if you save the assassination missions for the end and invest in stocks properly, you will have at least a billion dollars, which is enough to buy the golf course. not that it is really worth it
