                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (UNAUDITED)
                    (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)



NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    KSL Recreation Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) is engaged in the
ownership and management of golf courses, private clubs, resorts and activities
related thereto.

    The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented
herein have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q and do not include
all of the information and note disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to
present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.  These unaudited interim condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the other disclosures
contained herein and with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for
the year ended October 31, 1996 contained in the Company's Registration
Statement dated September 11, 1997.  Operating results for interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal
year.

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles necessarily requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTE 2.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

    Earnings per share for the three-month and nine-month periods ended July
31, 1997 and 1996 are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of outstanding common shares during the respective periods.

    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share (EPS),"
which will require the Company to disclose basic EPS and diluted EPS for all
periods for which an income statement is presented, and which will replace
earnings per share disclosures currently being made.  The Company is required to
adopt this standard effective November 1, 1997.  For pro forma disclosure
purposes, basic EPS for the current reporting and comparable periods in the
prior year computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128 would be equal to primary
EPS, as included in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated
financial statements.

 NOTE 3.  LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

    DEBT FINANCING - In April 1997, the Company sold $125,000 in aggregate
principal amount of 10.25% senior subordinated redeemable notes (the Notes) and
entered into a new credit facility providing for term loans of up to $100,000
and a revolving credit portion of up to $175,000.  The proceeds from the Notes,
together with $100,000 of term loans under the new credit facility and a $75,000
drawing under the revolving credit portion of the new credit facility
(collectively, the Refinancings) were used (i) to repay approximately $265,000
of outstanding indebtedness of the Company (ii) to make a loan of approximately
$20,800 to KSL Land Corporation (KSL Land), which was used to repay indebtedness
of KSL Land with respect to which a subsidiary of the Company was a co-obligor,
(iii) to pay prepayment penalties and fees and expenses incurred in connection
with the Refinancings and (iv) for general corporate purposes.

    The Notes bear interest at 10.25%, payable semiannually, and mature May
2007.  The Notes are redeemable beginning May 2002, at the Company's option, at
various rates ranging from 105.125% at May 2002 decreasing to 100% at May 2005
and thereafter.  The Company is required to offer to buy the Notes at 101% upon
a change of control, as defined in the Notes agreement.

    The credit facility terms are as follows:

                          INTEREST
                      (AT THE COMPANY'S     ANNUAL PRINCIPAL
                          OPTION)             AMORTIZATION      MATURITY

$50,000 Term A Loan     LIBOR + 2.75% or
                        ABR + 1.75%              $500           May 2005

$50,000 Term B Loan     LIBOR + 3.00% or
                        ABR + 2.00%              $500           May 2006

Revolving Credit Loan   LIBOR + 2.25% or
                        ABR + 1.25%                             May 2004

    The terms of the credit facility limit borrowings under the revolving
credit loan to $175,000.  The borrowings limitation decreases to $163,750 in May
2000, $152,500 in May 2001, $137,500 in May 2002 and $118,750 in May 2003.  The
terms of the credit facility also contain certain financial covenants including
interest coverage, fixed charges and leverage ratios.

    The Company expensed the net deferred financing costs, prepayment fees and
other costs, which aggregated approximately $5,176 related to the debt that was
extinguished as a result of the Refinancings.  Such amount is reflected as an
extraordinary loss on early extinguishment of debt, net of income tax benefit of
$2,007, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the
periods ended July 31, 1997.

                    (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)


    Concurrent with the Refinancings, the Company provided dividends to its
Parent of $23,321 and a return of capital of $39,033, including a transfer of
the Company's $2,155 investment in certain limited partnerships at historical
cost (which approximated fair value); and settled receivables/payables with its
Parent and affiliates.  During the period ended July 31, 1997, the Parent had
provided capital contributions of $9,000 for purposes of the Lake Lanier Islands
sublease (Note 4).

    The $20,800 loan to KSL Land bears interest at 8.0% and is payable to the
Company in cash or through increases to the principal amount of the note.  The
loan matures in June 1999.  Interest for the three months ended July 31, 1997,
has been capitalized into principal.

NOTE 4.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    Comprehensive Income:  During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which established
standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income.
Comprehensive income is defined as all changes in a Company's net assets except
changes resulting from transactions with shareholders.  If differs from net
income in that certain items currently recorded to equity would be a part of
comprehensive income.  Comprehensive income must be reported in a financial
statement with the cumulative total presented as a component of equity.  This
statement will be adopted by the Company beginning November 1, 1998.

    Segment Information:  In June, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information," which will be effective for the Company beginning November
1, 1998.  SFAS No. 131 redefines how operating segments are determined and
requires disclosure of certain financial and descriptive information about a
company's operating segments.  The Company believes the segment information
required to be disclosed under SFAS No. 131 will be more comprehensive than
previously provided, including expanded disclosure of income statement and
balance sheet items.  The Company has not yet completed its analysis of the
operating segments on which it will report.

NOTE 5.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    In August 1997, the Company, through a subsidiary, closed the sublease of
Lake Lanier Islands and an agreement to purchase certain fixed assets for
$9,000.  A management agreement provided that the lessor and the Company would
be placed in the same economic position if the sublease transaction had closed
on May 15, 1996.  Accordingly, the Company was credited with the net earnings
(as defined) of the operations from May 15, 1996 to August 1, 1997 (the closing
date) less amounts earned by the Company pursuant to the management agreement.
Such net amount paid by the Company will be recognized as an adjustment to the
recorded value of the assets leased pursuant to the sublease. The sublease will
be accounted for as a capital lease.  Accordingly, the Company will record the
net assets acquired pursuant to the sublease and will recognize the net present
value of the related minimum lease payments.

    In August 1997, the Company, through a subsidiary, acquired Grand Traverse
Resort, a 425 room hotel and related golf and recreational facilities, located
in Traverse City, Michigan for a purchase price of approximately $45,000.  The
acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.  The
purchase price was financed under the revolving credit portion of the Company's
new credit facility (Note 3).

      ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                    (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)


    THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1997 (1997 THIRD QUARTER) AS COMPARED TO THE
THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1996 (1996 THIRD QUARTER).

    REVENUES -  Revenues increased by $6,222, or 17.2% from $36,278 in the 1996
Third Quarter to $42,500 in the 1997 Third Quarter.  Over half of this increase
was attributable to increases in rooms revenues and food and beverage revenues,
driven by increased occupancy and increased daily room rates at the resort
properties.  Additionally, golf fees increased 15.8% from the 1996 Third Quarter
to the 1997 Third Quarter.

    EXPENSES OF OPERATIONS - Expenses of operations increased by $3,402, or
8.7% from $39,140 in the 1996 Third Quarter to $42,542 in the 1997 Third
Quarter.  Cost of sales increased by 7.9% from the 1996 Third Quarter, due
mainly to the Company's increased sales levels in food and beverage.
Approximately one-third of the increase in expenses was due to increases in
variable payroll and benefit expenses of $1,352, or 9.0% from the 1996 Third
Quarter to the 1997 Third Quarter.  Depreciation and amortization increased by
5.9% in the 1997 Third Quarter over the 1996 Third Quarter due to the addition
of capital improvements at the resort properties.

    NET INTEREST EXPENSE - Net interest expense decreased by $883, or 11.7%
from $7,527 in the 1996 Third Quarter to $6,644 in the 1997 Third Quarter.  This
was primarily due to the favorable change in interest rates of the Refinancings.

    EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS - The extraordinary item of $31, net of income tax
benefit of $0, in the 1997 Third Quarter was an additional expense of financing
costs associated with borrowings that were refinanced in April 1997.  There were
no extraordinary items in the 1996 Third Quarter.

    NET INCOME(LOSS) - Net loss decreased by $3,772, or 35.7% from a loss of
$10,562 in the 1996 Third Quarter to a loss of $6,790 in the 1997 Third Quarter
as a result of the factors discussed above.  Excluding the effect of
extraordinary items in the 1997 Third Quarter, net loss after tax decreased by
$3,803 or 36.0% from a loss of $10,562 in the 1996 Third Quarter to a loss of
$6,759 in the 1997 Third Quarter.

                    (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1997 (1997 NINE MONTHS) AS COMPARED TO THE NINE
MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1996 (1996 NINE MONTHS).

    REVENUES - Revenues increased by $22,512 or 15.8% from $142,829 in the 1996
Nine Months to $165,341 in the 1997 Nine Months.  Over half of this increase was
attributable to increases in rooms revenue and food and beverage revenues,
driven by increased occupancy and increased daily room rates at the resort
properties.  Additionally, golf fees increased 17.2% from the 1996 Nine Months
to 1997 Nine Months.

    EXPENSES OF OPERATIONS - Expenses of operations increased by $10,483, or
8.4% from $124,248 in the 1996 Nine Months to $134,731 in the 1997 Nine Months.
Cost of sales increased by 5.8% from the 1996 Nine Months, due mainly to the
Company's increased sales levels in merchandise and food and beverage.
Approximately 30% of the increase in expenses of operations was due to increases
in variable payroll and benefit expenses of $3,169, or a 6.6% increase from 
the 1996 Nine Months to the 1997 Nine Months.  Depreciation and amortization 
increased by 10.8% due to the completion of capital improvements at the 
resort properties. As a percentage of revenues, expenses of operations 
declined from 87.0% of revenues in the 1996 Nine Months to 81.5% of revenues 
in the 1997 Nine Months.

    NET INTEREST EXPENSE - Net interest expense increased by $2,192, or 10.9%
from $20,057 in the 1996 Nine Months to $22,249 in the 1997 Nine Months.  This
was primarily due to an increase in indebtedness associated with the acquisition
of four golf facilities in fiscal 1996 and increased amortization of debt issue
costs associated with the refinance of a resort property in December 1995.

    EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS - The extraordinary item of $3,169, net of income tax
benefit of $2,007, in the 1997 Nine Months is the expense of prepayment
penalties and financing costs associated with borrowings that were refinanced in
April 1997.  The extraordinary item recorded in the 1996 Nine Months was the
result of the Company and a lender reaching a compromise debt settlement, as a
result of which the Company retired indebtedness and recorded an extraordinary
gain, net of income taxes, of $32,120.

    NET INCOME - Net income decreased by $27,446, or 89.8% from $30,552 in the
1996 Nine Months to $3,106 in the 1996 Nine Months as a result of the factors
discussed above.  Excluding the effect of extraordinary items in both the 1996
and 1997 Nine Months, net income after tax increased by $7,843 or 500% from a
net loss of $1,568 in the 1996 Nine Months to net income of $6,275 in the 1997
Nine Months.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    During the 1997 Nine Months, cash flow provided by operating activities was
$87,482, compared to $17,402 for the 1996 Nine Months.  This increase in the
1997 Nine Months was primarily due to the settlement of receivables due from the
Parent and affiliates of $46,950 and the release of restricted cash to

operating cash of $10,361 due to the new credit facility.  The positive impact
on cash from the settlement of these receivables was offset by the cash used in
financing activities to provide a dividend and a net return of capital to the
Parent of $51,199.  During the 1997 Nine Months, cash flow used by investing
activities aggregated $23,617 as compared to cash provided by investing
activities of $8,861 for the 1996 Nine Months.  This change in cash flows from
investing activities was primarily attributable to the repayment to the Company
of a $23,065 note by an affiliate in the 1996 Nine Months, as compared to the
issuance of a  $21,222 note by the Company to an affiliate in the 1997 Nine
Months, offset by the decline in capital expenditures and golf course facility
acquisitions of $26,440 in the 1997 Nine Months compared to the 1996 Nine
Months.

    In April 1997, the Company issued $125,000 of Senior Notes (the Notes)
which carry interest at 10.25%.  The Company also entered into a $275,000 credit
agreement.  The credit agreement provides for term loans of $100,000 and
revolving loan of $175,000.  The Company believes that its liquidity, capital
resources and cash flows from existing operations will be sufficient to fund
capital expenditures, working capital requirements and interest and principal
payments on its indebtedness for the foreseeable future.  The Company currently
expects that it will acquire additional resorts, golf facilities or other
recreational facilities, and in connection therewith, expects to incur
additional indebtedness. There can be no assurances that additional 
indebtedness or funding will be available in the future.
