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 
Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto 
contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 1997. 
Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of 
results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. Certain 
reclassifications have been made in the consolidated financial statements to 
conform to the 1998 presentation.

     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.

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share
(EPS)", which requires the Company to disclose basic EPS and diluted EPS for
all periods for which an income statement is presented. The Company has adopted
this standard effective November 1, 1997. The EPS data for the current
reporting and comparable periods in the prior year have been computed in
accordance with SFAS No. 128 and are included in the accompanying unaudited
interim condensed consolidated financial statements.  There was no difference
between reported EPS computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128 and amounts that
were or would have been reported using the Company's previous method of
accounting for EPS.


NOTE 3.  ACQUISITION

     On April 21, 1998, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired
substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of the Claremont Resort
and Spa, a 279 room luxury hotel and spa located in Oakland, California for
approximately $88,000.  The purchase was financed under the revolving credit
portion of the Company's credit facility (see Note 4) and has been accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting.  Accordingly, the operating
results of the Claremont have been included in the Company's consolidated
financial statements since acquisition.  The Company acquired assets at fair
value of approximately $64,700, net of assumed liabilities of approximately
$1,700.  The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the
net assets acquired of approximately $25,000 is being amortized over 30 years.

     The following are the Company's unaudited proforma consolidated results 
of operations for the six months ended April 30 which assume the Claremont 
transaction occurred as of November 1, 1996:

     The unaudited proforma results do not necessarily represent results which
would have occurred if the acquisition had taken place as of the beginning of
the fiscal periods presented, nor do they purport to be indicative of the
results that will be obtained in the future.

     Also, in the quarter ended April 30, 1998 the Company acquired, in 
separate transactions, two golf course facilities for an aggregate purchase 
price of approximately $14,800, including the assumption of certain 
liabilities of approximately $3,300.  The acquisitions were financed under 
the revolving credit portion of the Company's credit facility and have been 
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the 
operating results of the two facilities have been included in the Company's 
consolidated financial statements since acquisition.   The proforma results 
of operations of these two facilities were not material to the Company.

NOTE 4.  LONG-TERM DEBT

     On April 20, 1998, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement which provided for  a $100,000 increase in the revolving loan
capacity thus increasing the total revolving loan capacity to $275,000.  The
term loan amount of $100,000 and its associated repayment schedule remains
unchanged.   Outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit line were
$173,500 as of April 30, 1998.  The terms of the Company's credit facility,
including the revolving credit line, contain certain financial covenants. The
Company is in compliance with all required financial covenants at April 30,
1998.

NOTE 5.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

     Effective April 1, 1998, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, KSL
Desert Resorts, Inc. ("Desert Resorts"), entered into a management agreement
with an unconsolidated affiliate, KSL Land II Corporation ("Land"),  whereby
Land will provide development services for the entitlement, subdivision,
construction, marketing, and sale of approximately 97 single family detached
units on approximately eleven acres of real estate currently owned by Desert
Resorts.  The development site is adjacent to the Desert Resorts' La Quinta
Resort & Club.  The contractor and project management fees for these services
are calculated as 6.0% of the Project Sales Revenues, as defined, and are
expected to total approximately $3,400.  Also, Land is to be paid by Desert
Resorts a marketing fee in an amount equal to 2.75% of the Project Sales
Revenues.  Such marketing fee will be used by Land primarily to pay marketing,
sales and promotional expenses to third parties. The project is expected to
have an eighteen-month build out ending in fiscal 1999.

NOTE 6.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

      On May 29, 1998, KSL Hotel Corp. ("Doral"), a wholly-owned indirect 
subsidiary of the Company and owner of Doral Golf Resort and Spa, entered 
into a non-binding letter of intent for the sale, development, construction 
and marketing of interval ownership units on approximately ten acres of real 
property currently being utilized by Doral as a golf course. If a definitive 
agreement is reached, the sales price for the real estate would be $9,500, 
and the transaction would be expected to close no earlier than December 1998, 
subject to due diligence review and obtaining certain land use approvals.

               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                            (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)


          THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1998 (1998 SECOND QUARTER) AS COMPARED
TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997 (1997 SECOND QUARTER).

     REVENUES -  Revenues increased by $14,065 or 19.9% from $70,564 in the
1997 Second Quarter to $84,629 in the 1998 Second Quarter. Approximately 52.4%
of this increase, or $7,369 was attributable to the acquisition of Grand
Traverse Resort and the sublease of Lake Lanier Islands (referred to
collectively as the Additions) which occurred subsequent to the 1997 Second
Quarter.  Excluding the effect of the Additions for which the Second Quarter is
off-season, revenues increased 9.5% from the 1997 Second Quarter to the 1998
Second Quarter.  For the company as a whole, room revenue increased by 21.9%,
of which 63.9% was attributable to the Additions with the remainder resulting
from increased average daily rates.  Approximately 55.5% of the increase in
food and beverage and 50.2% of the increase in other revenue was also due to
the Additions.  Golf fees increased by 9.3% from the 1997 Second Quarter to the
1998 Second Quarter due to increases in both paid rounds and green fee rates.

     EXPENSES  - Expenses of operations increased by $13,633 or 27.7% from 
$49,286 in the 1997 Second Quarter to $62,919 in the 1998 Second Quarter. 
Approximately 73.1% of this increase, or $9,962 was due to the Additions. 
Excluding the effect of the Additions, expenses of operations increased 7.4% 
from the Second Quarter of 1997 to the Second Quarter of 1998.  Depreciation 
and amortization associated with the Additions totaled $1,633. Due to 
increased corporate support of the Additions, and increased corporate 
resources focused on operations in treasury, membership and retail functions, 
the corporate fee increased by $1,139 from the 1997 Second Quarter.

     NET INCOME -  Net income increased by $5,214 from $8,756 in the 1997 
Second Quarter to $13,970 in the 1998 Second Quarter as a result of the 
factors discussed above. Additionally, the Company incurred in the 1997 
Second Quarter an extraordinary loss of $3,138, net of income tax benefit of 
$2,007, due to the extinguishment of debt consisting of prepayment penalties 
and financing costs associated with the previous borrowings that were 
refinanced in April 1997. Excluding the Additions, net income increased in 
the 1998 Second Quarter by $9,742 or 111.1%; that increase was offset by a 
decrease in net income of $4,542, attributable to the Additions, for which 
the Second Quarter is off-season.

     ADJUSTED EBITDA -  Adjusted EBITDA increased by $3,689, or 12.1% from
$30,421 in the 1997 Second Quarter to $34,110 in the 1998 Second Quarter.  This
increase was primarily attributable to the above factors and an increase in Net
Membership Deposits of $1,615 from $2,178 in the 1997 Second Quarter to $3,793
in the 1998 Second Quarter. Excluding the Additions, for which the Second
Quarter is off-season, Adjusted EBITDA increased in the 1998 Second Quarter by
$4,591, or 15.3%.

     SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1998 (1998 SIX MONTHS) AS COMPARED TO THE SIX
MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997 (1997 SIX MONTHS).

     REVENUES - Revenues increased by $25,118 or 20.1% from $125,113 in the
1997 Six Months to $150,231 in the 1998 Six Months.  Approximately 56.0% of
this increase, or $14,067 was attributable to the Additions. Excluding the
effect of the Additions, for which the six months was off-season, revenues
increased 8.8% from the 1997 Six Months to the 1998 Six Months.  Approximately
59.1% of the room revenue increase was from the Additions with the remainder
resulting from increased average daily rates.  Approximately 66.5% of the
increase in food and beverage and 58.1% of the increase in other revenue was
also attributable to the Additions. Golf fees increased by 9.8% from the 1997
Six Months to the 1998 Six Months due to increases in both paid rounds and
green fee rates.

     EXPENSES - Expenses of operations increased by $27,002 or 28.8% from 
$93,789 in the 1997 Six Months to $120,791 in the 1998 Six Months. 
Approximately 72% of this increase, or $19,449 was due to the Additions. 
Excluding the effect of the Additions, for which the Six Months are the 
off-season, expenses of operations increased 8.1% from the 1997 Six Months to 
the 1998 Six Months, reflecting a higher volume of business.  Depreciation 
and amortization associated with the Additions totaled $3,156. Due to 
increased corporate support of the Additions, and increased corporate 
resources focused on operations in treasury, membership and retail 
functions, the corporate fee increased by $2,291 from the 1997 Six Months.

     NET INCOME - Net income increased by $3,411, from $10,568 in the 1997 Six
Months to $13,979 in the 1998 Six Months as a result of the factors discussed
above. Additionally, the Company incurred in the 1997 Six Months an
extraordinary loss of $3,138, net of income tax benefit of $2,007, due to a
loss on extinguishment of debt consisting of prepayment penalties and financing
costs associated with the previous borrowings that were refinanced in April
1997. Excluding the Additions, net income increased in the 1998 Six Months by
$12,565 or 118.9%; that increase was offset by a decrease in net income of
$9,154, attributable to the Additions, for which the Six Months is off-season.

     ADJUSTED EBITDA -  Adjusted EBITDA increased by $5,654, or 11.7% from
$48,383 in the 1997 Six Months to $54,037 in the 1998 Six Months.  This
increase was primarily attributable to the above factors, and an increase in
Net Membership Deposits of $4,004 from $3,593 in the 1997 Six Months to $7,597
in the 1998 Six Months.  Excluding the Additions, for which the Six Months is
off-season, Adjusted EBITDA increased in the 1998 Six Months by $7,621, or
16.1%.

     The foregoing discussion includes comparative financial information on the
Company's Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income before income tax
expense (benefit), net interest expense, depreciation and amortization,
extraordinary items and certain non-cash items, plus Net Membership Deposits.
Net Membership Deposits is defined as the amount of refundable membership
deposits paid by new and upgraded resort club members and by existing members
who have converted to new membership plans, in cash, plus principal payments in
cash received on notes in respect thereof, minus the amount of any refunds paid
in cash with respect to such deposits.  Information regarding Adjusted EBITDA
has been provided because the Company believes that it assists in understanding
the Company's operating results.  The Company views cash flow from membership
sales as an important component of operating cash flow measure, as membership
sales are recurring in nature as the club builds its membership and replaces
the natural turnover.

     Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indicator of the Company's 
operating performance or as an alternative to operating income as determined 
in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP").  
Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed by investors as a 
measure of the Company's liquidity or ability to meet all cash needs or as an 
alternative to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities 
as determined in accordance with GAAP, nor should Adjusted EBITDA be 
construed by investors as an alternative to any other determination under 
GAAP.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     During the 1998 Six Months, cash flow provided by operating activities 
was $12,895, compared to $75,385 for the 1997 Six Months. This decrease was 
primarily due to a number of transactions completed in conjunction with the 
refinancing of the Company in 1997, including the settlement of receivables 
due from Parent and its affiliates of $46,767, the release of restricted cash 
to operating cash of $9,419 and a $4,755 change in accrued interest payable.  
During the 1998 Six Months, cash flow used in investing activities aggregated 
$108,561 as compared to cash used in investing activities of $21,706 for the 
1997 Six Months. This change in cash flows from investing activities was 
primarily due to: the acquisition of the Claremont Resort and Spa for 
approximately $88,000 (see Note 3 of notes to condensed consolidated 
financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report); the 
acquisition of  two golf course facilities in the 1998 Six Months for 
approximately $11,500 and related assumption of approximately $3,300 in debt; 
and the advance to an unconsolidated affiliate of $20,800 in the 1997 Six 
Months.  Cash provided by financing activities was $73,653 in the 1998 Six 
Months compared to cash used in financing activities of $26,126 in the 1997 
Six Months.  This change is attributable to approximately $35,000 increase in 
principal amounts on net debt and leases, period to period, and $10,606 of 
debt refinancing costs and $51,199 of dividends and net capital 
contributions, both occurring in the 1997 Six Months.  Also, see Note 4 of 
notes to condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of 
this Quarterly Report.

     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.

OTHER MATTERS

     The Company relies heavily on computer technology throughout its
businesses to effectively carry out its day-to-day operations. As the
millennium approaches, the Company is assessing all of its computer systems to
ensure that they are "Year 2000"-compliant. In this process, the Company
expects to both replace some systems and upgrade others, which are not Year
2000-compliant, in order to meet its internal needs and those of its customers.
The Company expects its Year 2000 project to be completed on a timely basis.
However, there can be no assurance that the systems of other companies on which
the Company may rely also will be timely converted or that such failure to
convert by another company would not have an adverse effect on the Company's
systems. Costs related to this project will continue through calendar 1999.
These costs are difficult to estimate accurately and they will not necessarily
be incremental. The Company's stated expectations regarding its Year 2000
project constitute forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ
materially from the Company's expectations due to unanticipated technological
difficulties, project vendor delays and project vendor cost overruns. Reference
is also made to the safe harbor statement below.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF
1995

     The statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations concerning future events, activities,
conditions and any and all statements that are not historical facts are forward-
looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those projected.
Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. A change in any one
or a combination of factors could affect the Company's future financial
performance. Also, the Company's past performance is not necessarily evidence
of or an indication of the Company's future financial performance.
