                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(1) Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
  National Golf Properties, Inc. (the "Company") owns substantially all of the
golf courses through its general partner interest in National Golf Operating
Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), pursuant to its 58.5%
ownership of the common units of partnership interest in the Operating
Partnership ("Common Units"). The Operating Partnership has an 89% general
partner interest in Royal Golf, L.P. II ("Royal Golf"). Unless the context
otherwise requires, all references to the Company's business and properties
include the business and properties of the Operating Partnership and Royal
Golf.
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company,
the Operating Partnership and Royal Golf. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.
 
  The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These financial statements have
not been audited by independent public accountants, but include all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. However,
these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim
period or for the full year. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 1997 has been derived from the audited financial statements, but
does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
 
  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to requirements
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Management believes
that the disclosures included in the accompanying interim financial statements
and footnotes are adequate to make the information not misleading, but should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year
ended December 31, 1997.
 
  The computation of basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the
period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted
average number of outstanding common shares during the period and the
incremental shares, using the treasury stock method, from stock options. The
incremental shares for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 were
88,831 and 145,984, respectively. The incremental shares for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 were 106,919 and 146,417, respectively.
 
  In March 1998, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (the "EITF") issued Issue No. 97-11, "Accounting for Internal
Costs Relating to Real Estate Property Acquisitions." This statement provides
that internal acquisition costs of identifying and acquiring operating
properties should be expensed as incurred. Prior to this statement, the only
internal acquisition costs capitalized by the Company were acquisition
bonuses. This statement applies to all internal acquisition costs incurred
after March 19, 1998. There is no material impact anticipated by the adoption
of this statement to the Company's earnings per share, financial condition, or
results of operations.
 
  In May 1998, the EITF issued Issue No. 98-9, "Accounting for Contingent Rent
in Interim Financial Periods." This statement provides that recognition of
contingent rental income should be deferred until specified targets that
trigger the contingent rent are achieved. This statement applies to all
contingent rental income effective with the second quarter of 1998. On a
quarterly basis, there is a material impact anticipated to the Company's
earnings per share, financial condition, and results of operations. Contingent
rent not recorded in the first, second or third quarters will be recognized in
the fourth quarter. Therefore, on an annual basis, there is no material impact
anticipated to the Company's earnings per share, financial condition, or
results of operations.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
 
 
(1) Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies--(Continued)
 
  In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133 will require the Company to
recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting
for the changes in the fair values of such derivatives would depend on the use
of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. SFAS 133 is
effective for the Company's financial statements issued for periods beginning
January 1, 2000. The Company has not determined when it will implement SFAS
133, however, there is no material impact anticipated to the Company's
financial condition or results of operations. However, there could be a
material impact on comprehensive income.
 
  The accompanying consolidated balance sheet has been restated to reflect an
accounting allocation for reporting purposes from additional paid in capital
to minority interest for the limited partners' interest in the net assets of
the Company after giving effect to their exchange rights of Common Units into
the Company's common stock. While the limited partners have not indicated such
a desire to convert their Common Units, GAAP requires the reporting of such
exchange rights "as if converted." This reallocation had no effect on earnings
per share or results of operations or allocations of net income to the general
and limited partners of the Operating Partnership. The reallocation at
September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was approximately $78.6 million and
$78.1 million, respectively.
 
(2) Property
 
  During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company purchased seven
golf courses for an initial investment of approximately $42.8 million. The
acquisitions have been accounted for utilizing the purchase method of
accounting, and accordingly, the acquired assets are included in the statement
of operations from the date of acquisition. Initial investment amount includes
purchase price, closing costs and other direct costs associated with the
purchase. The aforementioned golf courses are leased to American Golf
Corporation ("AGC") pursuant to a long-term triple net lease.

  The Company recognized a gain on property condemnation of approximately $1
million due to the State of North Carolina condemning four golf holes at one
of the Company's golf courses for a state highway project. The State has not
taken physical possession of the property because the project has not been
started. The Company expects to purchase land adjacent to the golf course
sufficient to replace the condemned holes.
 
(3) Mortgage Notes Receivable
 
  On August 20, 1998, the Company made a participating mortgage loan of
approximately $22.6 million to an unrelated entity that owns Badlands Golf
Course in Las Vegas, Nevada. On or before November 15, 1998, the borrower may
repay approximately $9.6 million of the principal amount. Thereafter, the
principal amount of the Company's participating mortgage loan will be $13
million. As part of the loan agreement, the Company has agreed to loan an
additional $315,000 to the borrower to be used for capital improvements at the
golf course.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
 
 
(3) Mortgage Notes Receivable--(Continued)
 
  Under the terms of the participating mortgage loan, the Company will receive
minimum annual base interest equal to 8.75% of the principal amount. The
minimum interest will be increased during each of the first five years of the
15-year term of the loan. In addition, a participating interest feature will
allow the Company to participate in growth in revenues at the golf course and
a portion of the appreciation in the fair market value of the golf course.
 
(4) Treasury Lock Swap Transactions
   
  In anticipation of the Operating Partnership placing $100 million of fixed-
rate, ten-year notes, the Operating Partnership entered into a $100 million
treasury lock swap transaction with a financial institution in order to hedge
its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Under this agreement, the
Operating Partnership pays or receives an amount equal to the difference
between the treasury lock rate and the market rate on the date of settlement,
based on the principal of $100 million. The realized gain or loss on the
transaction at the settlement date will be recorded on the balance sheet and
amortized to interest expense over the period of the related note. At
September 30, 1998, the treasury lock rate was higher than the market rate.
Therefore, the Operating Partnership has an unrealized loss of approximately
$8.2 million. This amount has been recorded in the consolidated balance sheet
as other assets, with a corresponding amount recorded as other liabilities.
       
  During 1998, the Operating Partnership entered into two other treasury lock
swap transactions, which resulted in approximately $215,000 and $151,000 being
received by the Operating Partnership. These amounts are being amortized as a
credit to interest expense over a period of ten years.     
       
(5) Preferred Units
 
  On March 4, 1998, the Operating Partnership completed the private placement
of 1,200,000 8% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units ("Preferred
Units"), representing a limited partnership interest in the Operating
Partnership, to an institutional investor for a contribution to the Operating
Partnership of $60 million. The Preferred Units, which may be called by the
Operating Partnership at par on or after March 4, 2003, have no stated
maturity or mandatory redemption and pay a cumulative, quarterly dividend at
an annualized rate of 8%. The dividend attributable to such Preferred Units
has been reported as a component of minority interest, as required accounting
by the SEC, in the related financial statements. The Preferred Units are not
convertible into common stock of the Company. The Operating Partnership used
$58 million of the approximately $58.5 million of net proceeds from such
private placement to reduce outstanding indebtedness under the Operating
Partnership's revolving credit facility.
 
  Also, on April 20, 1998, the Operating Partnership completed the private
placement of an additional 300,000 Preferred Units to the same institutional
investor for a contribution to the Operating Partnership of $15 million. The
Operating Partnership used $14.5 million of the approximately $14.6 million of
net proceeds from such private placement to reduce outstanding indebtedness
under the Operating Partnership's revolving credit facility.

  Total revenues from golf course operations and management agreements for AGC
increased by $41.4 million, or 10.2%, to $446.1 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 compared to $404.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to the
addition of 19 leased courses and four management courses.     
   
  Net income decreased by $21.2 million to $11.3 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 compared to $32.5 million for the corresponding nine
months of 1997. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the reduction
in same course revenue from the adverse weather caused by El Nino in the sun
belt states, where AGC has more mature properties with higher operating
margins. In addition, while the new acquisitions contributed favorably to
revenue, such properties historically operate at lower margins in the first
year of operation.
