accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and in accordance with instructions 
to Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B.  Accordingly, they do not 
include all of the information and footnotes required by

5.     Stockholders' Equity

On May 30, 1996, the Company completed its offer for sale in a 
private placement $2,025,000 in convertible subordinated notes 
("PP Notes").  The PP Notes were offered by Laidlaw Equities, 
Inc. ("Laidlaw") on a best efforts basis.  Net proceeds from the 
offering, after paying commissions and offering costs were 
approximately, $1,757,122.  The PP Notes bore interest at 12 
percent, with interest payable June 1 and December 1 of each year 
commencing on December 1, 1996.  The PP Notes were due on June 1, 
1997.  On October 21, 1996, $1,062,500 of the PP Notes including 
$56,025 in accrued interest, were converted into 356,138 shares 
of the Company's common stock.  During May 1997, $952,500 of the

6.     Convertible Subordinated Note Offering

During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company raised 
$1,184,000 in convertible subordinated notes ("1997 Notes").  Net

at 10%, with interest payable January 1, April 1, July 1, and 
October 1 of each year commencing July 1, 1998.  The 1997 Notes 
are due on June 30, 2002.  The 1997 Notes, including any accrued 
but unpaid interest, are convertible, at the option of the 
holder, at any time upon the earlier of (i) December 31, 1997 
(ii) the date of delivery by the Company of notice to prepay the 
1997 Notes (iii) date of delivery by the Company of notice to 
allow immediate conversion, into common shares of the Company at 
70% of the price of the common stock of the Company at the 
issuance of the 1997 Notes.  Under certain circumstances, the 
Company has the option to prepay the 1997 Notes, upon 15 days 
notice, subject to the noteholder's right to convert.

7.     New Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has recently 
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 
"Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128") and Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 129 "Disclosure of Information About an 
Entity's Capital Structure ("SFAS 129").  SFAS 128 provides a 
different method of calculating earnings per share than is 
currently used in accordance with Accounting Board Opinion 
("APB") No. 15, "Earnings Per Share."  SFAS 128 provides for the 
calculation of "Basic" and "Diluted" earnings per share.  Basic 
earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by 
dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted 
average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of 
securities that could share in the earnings of an entity, similar 
to fully diluted earnings per share.  SFAS 129 establishes 
standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital 
structure.  SFAS 128 and SFAS 129 are effective for financial 
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997.  
Their implementation is not expected to have a material effect on 
the consolidated financial statements.



ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND PLAN OF OPERATION.

     The following discussion and analysis should be read in 
conjunction with the Company's financial statements and the notes 
thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. This report contains 
forward-looking statements, and actual results could differ 
materially from those projected in the forward-looking 
statements.

Overview

     On October 21, 1996, the Company completed the sale of 
1,175,000 shares of its common stock in an IPO registered on Form 
S-1.  The Company received net proceeds of approximately $5.46 
million after paying offering costs of approximately $1.59 
million.  The Company's strategy is to increase revenues and net 
income by increasing the number of golf centers it owns, leases 
or manages by (i) identifying and acquiring existing golf 
facilities that have the potential for revenue enhancement 
through better management and improved or expanded facilities, 
including the addition of enclosed hitting areas, full-line pro 
shops and other amenities, (ii) developing new golf centers in 
locations where suitable acquisition opportunities are not 
available, and (iii) seeking to realize economies of scale 
through centralized purchasing, accounting, management 
information and cash management systems. Consistent with this 
strategy, the Company acquired 94% and 90% of the limited 
partnership interests in Illinois Center Golf Partners Limited 
Partnership ("ICGP") and Goose Creek Golf Partners, L.P. 
("GCGP"), respectively, on October 21, 1996.  The Company 
acquired Fremont Golf Center ("Fremont") on July 1, 1996 and 
Palms Golf Center ("Palms") on December 31, 1996.  The Company 
commenced operating the Harborside Golf Center ("Harborside") on 
July 1, 1996 and entered into a long term lease on May 1, 1997.  
The Company commenced operations at Rocky Point Golf Center 
("Rocky Point") on March 1, 1997 and Solano Golf Center 
("Solano") on May 1, 1997.  In addition, the Company is actively 
pursuing acquisition or development projects in various major 
cities across the United States.  Consummation of any acquisition 
or development of these or any other future sites is subject to 
the satisfaction of various conditions, including the 
satisfactory completion of due diligence by the Company and the 
negotiation of definitive agreements. As consideration for any 
future acquisition or development, the Company may pay cash, 
incur indebtedness or issue debt or equity securities. Such 
acquisitions or developments could result in material changes in 
the Company's financial condition and operating results; however, 
there can be no assurance as to the occurrence of any of these 
acquisitions or developments or, if they occur, as to the timing 
of the consummation of any acquisitions or developments. 

Results of Operations

     Prior to July 1, 1996, the Company derived its revenue from 
two major sources: development or acquisition fees and management 
fees.  On July 1, 1996 the Company commenced operations at 
Fremont and Harborside.  The Company commenced operations at 
Palms on September 1, 1996.  The Company commenced operations at 
Illinois Center Golf and Goose Creek Golf Club on October 22, 
1996.  The Company commenced operations at Rocky Point on March 
1, 1997 and acquired Rocky Point for a combination of cash, notes 
and stock effective April 11, 1997.  The Company commenced 
operations at Solano on May 1, 1997.  Prior to the commencement 
of operations, management fees are generated by three 
subsidiaries of the Company: MetroGolf Illinois Center, Inc. and 
MetroGolf Virginia, Inc., as managing general partners of ICGP 
and GCGP, and MetroGolf Management, Inc. ("MGMI") as property 
manager of Illinois Center Golf Club, Goose Creek Golf Club, 
Harborside, Fremont and Palms. The Company initially used outside 
management companies to manage its golf centers. In September 
1995, the operations management subcontract for Illinois Center 
Golf was terminated. In March 1996, the Company terminated the 
third-party management contract for Goose Creek Golf Club. All 
Company properties are, and in the future are expected to be, 
managed by MGMI. 

Three Months Ended June 30, 1997, as Compared to Three Months 
Ended June 30, 1996

     Total revenues increased 2,739%, to approximately $1,369,600 
for the three months ended June 30, 1997, from approximately 
$50,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  In 1997, the 
Company derived revenue from golf course and learning center 
operations.  In 1996, the Company derived revenue from management 
fees.

     Operating expenses increased 783% to approximately 
$1,573,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, from 
approximately $201,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  
Operating costs increased to approximately $708,000 from $0 due 
to the addition of operating properties in the third quarter of 
1996, the acquisition of ICGP, GCGP and Palms during the fourth 
quarter of 1996 and the addition of Rocky Point and Solano during 
1997.  General and administrative expenses for the three months 
ended June 30, 1997 increased to $624,765 from $196,019 in 1996 
due to property acquisitions during 1996 and the costs associated 
with becoming a publicly traded company.

     Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to 
approximately $240,000 in 1997 from approximately $5,000 in 1996 
due to the acquisition of Fremont in July 1996 and ICGP, GCGP and 
Palms in the fourth quarter of 1996.

     Interest expense increased to $355,454 in 1997 from $55,560 
in 1996 primarily due to placement of $2,025,000 of convertible 
subordinated notes ("PP Notes") in the second quarter of 1996, 
the ICGP and GCGP Notes in the fourth quarter of 1996, and debt 
associated with property acquisitions during 1996.

     Other income decreased to $2,325 in 1997 from $17,941 in 
1996 as a result of the interest-bearing notes receivable being 
consolidated as a result of the acquisition of GCGP and ICGP.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1997, as Compared to Six Months Ended 
June 30, 1996

     Total revenues increased 2,000%, to approximately $1,980,000 
for the six months ended June 30, 1997, from approximately 
$99,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  In 1997, the 
Company derived revenue from golf course and learning center 
operations.  In 1996, the Company derived revenue from management 
fees.

     Operating expenses increased 709% to approximately 
$2,991,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, from 
approximately $422,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  
Operating costs increased to approximately $1,177,800 from $0 due 
to the addition of operating properties in the third quarter of 
1996, the acquisition of ICGP, GCGP and Palms during the fourth 
quarter of 1996 and the addition of Rocky Point and Solano during 
1997.  General and administrative expenses for the six months 
ended June 30, 1997 increased to $1,392,284 from $412,646 in 1996 
due to property acquisitions during 1996 and the costs associated 
with becoming a publicly traded company.

     Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to 
approximately $421,000 in 1997 from approximately $9,600 in 1996 
due to the acquisition of Fremont in July 1996 and ICGP, GCGP and 
Palms in the fourth quarter of 1996.

     Interest expense increased to $685,565 in 1997 from $62,490 
in 1996 primarily due to placement of $2,025,000 of convertible 
subordinated notes ("PP Notes") in the second quarter of 1996, 
the ICGP and GCGP Notes in the fourth quarter of 1996, and debt 
associated with property acquisitions during 1996.

     Other income decreased to $16,029 in 1997 from $34,400 in 
1996 as a result of the interest-bearing notes receivable being 
consolidated as a result of the acquisition of GCGP and ICGP.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At June 30, 1997, the Company had a working capital deficit 
of approximately $7,118,500, as compared to a working capital 
deficit of $7,530,700 at December 31, 1996. The decrease in 
working capital deficit is primarily due to reduction in the 
current portion of long-term debt resulting from conversion of 
$953,138 of the PP Notes (including accrued interest) into common 
stock.  The Company has approximately $5,095,000 of current 
liabilities relating to debts that come due within the next 12 
months.  Approximately $4,700,000 of these current liabilities 
are mortgages on existing operating properties and are fully 
collateralized by such properties.  The Company is currently 
negotiating to refinance or extend the remaining mortgages and 
expects to receive new mortgages with maturity dates that extend 
beyond 12 months.  The Company raised $1,184,000 in convertible 
subordinated notes ("the 1997 Notes").  The Company intends to 
use the proceeds for additional acquisitions which should further 
increase the Company's cash flow from operations and for current 
working capital needs.  The Company believes that these funds 
will be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for the next year.

     The cash used in operating activities increased to 
approximately $1,156,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1997 
compared with cash provided of approximately $93,000 in the six 
months ended June 30, 1996.  The primary reason for the increase 
has been the increase in the net loss to $1,643,840 in the six 
months ended June 30, 1997 from $359,980 in the six months ended 
June 30, 1996.  In addition, the Company used accounts payable as 
a source of financing.  Trade accounts payable increased $41,000 
in the six months ended June 30, 1997 and $168,000 in the three 
months ended June 30, 1996.

     The cash used in investing activities increased to 
approximately $261,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1997 from 
approximately $73,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The 
primary reason for the increase is the elimination of $222,000 
restricted cash as a source of cash from investing activities.

     The cash provided by financing activities decreased to 
approximately $668,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1997 from 
approximately $1,294,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1996.  
The primary reason for the decrease is a reduction in the 
proceeds from convertible subordinated notes payable.

     During May 1997, $912,500 of convertible subordinated notes 
and $40,638 of accrued interest were converted into 1,114,397 
shares of common stock.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company 
raised $1,184,000 in convertible subordinated notes ("1997 
Notes").  The 1997 Notes bear interest at 10%, with interest 
payable January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of each year 
commencing July 1, 1998.  The 1997 Notes are due on June 30, 
2002.  The 1997 Notes, including any accrued but unpaid interest, 
are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time upon 
the earlier of (i) December 15, 1997 (ii) the date of delivery by 
the Company of notice to prepay the 1997 Notes (iii) date of 
delivery by the Company of notice to allow immediate conversion, 
into common shares of the Company at 70% of the price of the 
common stock of the Company at the issuance of the 1997 Notes.  
Under certain circumstances, the Company has the option to prepay 
the 1997 Notes, upon 15 days notice, subject to the noteholder's 
right to convert.


Fremont Golf Center.   The Company has signed a lease agreement 
with the City of Fremont to develop an 35-acre tract of land into 
a 9-hole executive-length golf course with expanded practice 
facilities and significantly improved clubhouse amenities.  The 
Company expects to commence construction of the 9-hole 
executive-length golf course and begin modifications to the 
existing facility in the late fall of 1997, with the completion 
of the golf center scheduled for the late summer of 1998.  The 
development budget for the new 9-hole executive-length golf 
course, and modifications to the existing facility, is 
anticipated to be approximately $2 million over a one-year 
development period. The Company intends to fund the development 
through a combination of equity and debt, to be provided by a 
commercial bank, specialized golf lending institution or private 
lender. 

New York Golf Center.   The Company has fully negotiated a lease 
(the "Port Authority Lease") with the Port Authority of New York 
and New Jersey (the "Port Authority") to develop a driving range 
and learning center on top of the Port Authority Bus Terminal in 
midtown Manhattan, New York City. Construction is scheduled to 
commence late-1997, with the opening scheduled for fall 1998. The 
proposed development budget is approximately $6 million. The 
facility is planned to consist of a three-level facility 
occupying a portion of the roof of the Port Authority Bus 
Terminal (approximately three acres) and includes a 54-tee 
station area, a practice putting green, a sand bunker practice 
area, a greenside chipping area, a video instruction center, 
locker rooms and a club facility. The driving range will include 
covered, heated tee stations. The golf instruction center, video 
instruction center, golf practice areas and locker rooms will be 
located in the clubhouse, together with a sports bar/cafe, 
outdoor patio, corporate entertainment and group event area, pro 
shop and offices.  The total expected cost of the New York Golf 
Center is expected to be approximately $6 million.  The Company 
expects to utilize debt and equity financing from banks and 
institutional or private lenders to fund such amount. 

Harborside Golf Center.   On May 1 1997, the Company completed 
its restructuring of the lease of Harborside Golf Center in 
downtown San Diego, California.  On July 1, 1996, the Company 
entered into a sublease agreement with Harborside Golf Center, 
L.P.  The sublease agreement contained an option to purchase.  
The restructuring was concluded with the Company entering into a 
5 year ground lease agreement with Catellus Development 
Corporation through April 30, 2002.  The ground lease contains 
one 5 year renewal option.  Additionally, the Company entered 
into a 10 year Equipment Lease agreement with Columbia Funding 
Corporation through April 30, 2007 unless terminated earlier 
pursuant to the early termination clause contained in the ground 
lease.  The ground lease lessor has the option to terminate the 
ground lease on or before November 1, 1998.

Rocky Point Golf Center.   Effective April 11, 1997 the Company 
purchased the leasehold interest in Rocky Point Golf Center for 
$965,439.  The Company issued notes payable to the seller for 
$175,000, issued 517, 649 shares of common stock of the Company 
for  $700,000, paid cash of $75,000 and acquisition costs of 
$15,439.  Rocky Point is a 70 station lighted and heated driving 
range with an associated practice chipping green and putting 
green.

Solano Golf Center.   Effective May 1, 1997, the Company entered 
into an agreement to operate the Solano Golf Center ("Solano").  
Solano is located on approximately 20 acres and contains an 
approximate 2,000  square foot retail facility with a 61 station 
lighted driving range and batting cages with 8 hitting stations.


Seasonality

     Historically, the second and third quarters have accounted 
for a greater portion of the Company's revenue and operating 
income than have the first and fourth quarters of the year. This 
is primarily due to an outdoor playing season limited by 
inclement weather. Although most of the Company's facilities are 
designed to be all-weather, portions of the facilities tend to be 
vulnerable to weather conditions. Also, golfers are less inclined 
to practice when weather conditions limit their ability to play 
golf on outdoor courses. This seasonal pattern, as well as the 
timing of new golf facility acquisitions, developments and 
openings, may cause the Company's results of operations to vary 
significantly from quarter to quarter. Accordingly, 
period-to-period comparisons are not necessarily meaningful and 
should not be relied upon as indications of future results. 

Trends

     The Company plans to acquire or develop additional golf 
centers. As such additional golf centers are acquired or 
developed, total revenue should continue to increase. The Company 
is making capital improvements at the Fremont Golf Center and 
Goose Creek and has recently strengthened the on-site management 
teams at these golf centers with an increased emphasis on sales 
and marketing. The Company believes that, as its current golf 
centers mature, revenues and operating income from such centers 
should increase due to customer awareness, programs marketing the 
golf centers to various special interest groups, expanded ties to 
local businesses and golfing communities and marketing programs 
developed by the Company. Such increases may be partially offset 
by initial losses from pre-opening costs (and initial operating 
losses) associated with new golf centers. 

New Accounting Pronouncements

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has 
recently issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 
128 "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128") and Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 129 "Disclosure of Information About an 
Entity's Capital Structure" ("SFAS 129").  SFAS 128 provides a 
different method of calculating earnings per share than is 
currently used in accordance with Accounting Board Opinion 
("APB") No. 15, "Earnings Per Share."  SFAS 128 provides for the 
calculation of "Basic" and "Diluted" earnings per share.  Basic earnings
 per share includes no dilution and is computed by 
dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted 
average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of 
securities that could share in the earnings of an entity, similar 
to fully diluted earnings per share.  SFAS 129 establishes 
standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital 
structure.  SFAS 128 and SFAS 129 are effective for financial 
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997.  
Their implementation is not expected to have a material effect on 
the consolidated financial statements.
