                         ----------------------------


The  Board  of  Trustees
ClubCorp  Stock  Investment  Plan:


We  have  audited  the  accompanying  statements  of  net assets available for
benefits  of  ClubCorp Stock Investment Plan as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for
the  years  then  ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
the  Plan's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial  statements  based  on  our  audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted auditing
standards.    Those  standards  require  that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain  reasonable  assurance about whether the  financial statements are free
of  material  misstatement.    An  audit  includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence  supporting  the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An  audit  also  includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and
significant  estimates  made  by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial  statement  presentation.    We  believe  that  our audits provide a
reasonable  basis  for  our  opinion.

In  our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of ClubCorp Stock
Investment  Plan  as  of  December  31,  1996 and 1995, and the changes in net
assets  available  for  benefits  for  the years then ended in conformity with
generally  accepted  accounting  principles.

Our  audits  were  made  for  the  purpose  of forming an opinion on the basic
financial  statements  taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of assets
held  for  investment  purposes  as  of  December  31,  1996,  and  reportable
transactions  for  the  year  ended  December  31, 1996, are presented for the
purpose  of  additional  analysis  and  are  not  a required part of the basic
financial  statements  but  are  supplementary  information  required  by  the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the  Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act  of  1974.   The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of  the  basic  financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in
all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                         CLUBCORP STOCK INVESTMENT PLAN

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                          December 31. 1996 and 1995


(1)  General
     -------

     The  ClubCorp Stock Investment Plan (Plan) is a defined contribution plan
covering  all  employees  of  Club  Corporation  International's participating
subsidiaries  (ClubCorp)  who have completed one year of service and worked at
least  l,000  hours  during their eligibility year of service.  The sponsoring
Employer  of  the  Plan is ClubCorp.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of
the  Employee  Retirement  Income  Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  Participants
should  refer  to  the  Plan  document  for  more  complete  information.

(a)  Basis  of  Presentation
     -----------------------

     The  accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared on an accrual
basis.

(b)  Contributions
     -------------

     Participating  employees  may  elect  to  contribute  up  to  6% of their
eligible  compensation  to the Plan.  The Employer matches 20% of the employee
contributions  and  may,  at  its discretion, match up to an additional 30% of
employee contributions.  For the year ended December 31, 1996, ClubCorp made a
discretionary contribution of approximately $1,374,000.  No such discretionary
contribution  was  made  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1995.

     The maximum amount which may be added to any participant's account in any
year  is  the lesser of $30,000 or 25% of their compensation for that year for
all  ClubCorp  defined  contribution  plans.  This maximum amount includes the
participant's  share  of  ClubCorp's  contributions.

(c)  Participant  Accounts
     ---------------------

     Each  participant's account is credited with the allocation of ClubCorp's
contributions  based on the participant's contributions to the Plan.  Earnings
and  losses from investments are allocated to the participants' accounts based
on  their  individual  quarter-end  balances.    Forfeitures  of  terminated
participants'  nonvested  accounts  are  used  to  cover direct administrative
expenses  of  the  Plan  (see  note  l(f)).

(d)  Vesting
     -------

     Participants  are  gradually  vested  in  ClubCorp's  contributions  as
determined  by  years  of  continuous service based on one hour of service for
each  Plan  year.    Full  vesting  is  attained after seven years of credited
service.    Participants  are always 100% vested in the account value of their
voluntary  contributions  and  earnings  thereon.

(e)  Payment  of  Benefits
     ---------------------

     Benefits  are paid to participants upon retirement, permanent disability,
termination,  or  to  beneficiaries  upon  death  of  the  participant.    The
participant  or  beneficiary  may  elect, subject to the terms of the Plan, to
receive  his  or her benefits in a lump sum cash distribution, in installments
over  a  fixed  period,  or  through transfer to another retirement plan in an
amount  equal  to  the  value  of  the  participant's  account.

(f)  Administrative  Expenses
     ------------------------

     Forfeitures  are  used  by the Plan to pay direct administrative expenses
which  amounted  to  $123,013  and  $278,905  in  1996 and 1995, respectively.
Indirect  expenses and any direct expenses not covered by forfeitures are paid
by  the sponsoring Employer.  Indirect administrative expenses of $327,511 and
$287,652  were  paid  by  ClubCorp  on  behalf  of  the Plan in 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

(g)  Plan  Termination
     -----------------

     Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, ClubCorp has the right
to  terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA.  If the
Plan  were  to terminate, participants would automatically become fully vested
regardless of years of service and the net Plan assets would be distributed to
Plan  participants  based  on  each  participant's  account  balance.

(h)  Form  5500  Reconciliation
     --------------------------

     The net assets available for benefits recorded in the Plan's Form 5500 as
of December 31, 1996 and 1995 are less than the corresponding amounts reported
in  the  accompanying  financial  statements  by  $577,306  and  $999,663,
respectively.    These  differences relate to benefits payable at year-end for
terminations.

(i)  Use  of  Estimates
     ------------------

     The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in conformity with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  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 additions and deductions during the
reporting  period.    Actual  results  could  differ  from  those  estimates.


(2)  Investments
     -----------

     The  following  table  presents the fair value of investments at December
31,  1996  and  1995.

</TABLE>


     If  available,  quoted market prices are used to value investments of the
Plan.  Because there is no public market for the common stock of ClubCorp, its
fair  value is based upon a Formula Price which is determined quarterly by the
Company  using a formula based on certain financial measures.  The Trustees of
the Plan have retained a Financial Advisor to perform an independent appraisal
of  the  Company  four  times  each  year  following delivery of the Company's
quarterly  financial  statements.    Based upon such appraisals, the Financial
Advisor  confirms that the Formula Price falls within the range of fair market
value of the common stock.  During the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
purchases  of  common  stock  made  by  the  Plan  were  from  two  individual
shareholders  and  ClubCorp.

(3)  Employer  and  Employee  Contributions  Receivable
     --------------------------------------------------

     Matching contributions are allocated to employees' accounts at the end of
each  quarter;  therefore,  the  accompanying  financial  statements reflect a
receivable  for  the  fourth  quarter's  Employer match credited to employees'
accounts  but  not  received  at  December 31, 1996 and 1995.  At December 31,
1996,  Employer  contributions  receivable includes the Employer discretionary
contribution  of  approximately  $1,374,000  (see  note  1(b)).

(4)  Federal  Income  Taxes
     ----------------------

     The  Plan  obtained  its  latest tax determination letter on December 21,
1995,  in  which  the  Internal  Revenue  Service  stated that the Plan was in
compliance  with  the  applicable  requirements  of  the Internal Revenue Code
(IRC).    The  Plan  administrator  believes  that the Plan is currently being
operated  in  compliance  with  the  applicable  requirements  of  the  IRC.

(5)  Plan  Amendment
     ---------------

     The  Plan  was  amended  and  restated  effective  as of January 1, 1995.
Participants  may  elect  to  defer  the  receipt  of  a  portion  of  their
compensation, beginning July 1, 1995, by contributing to the Plan on a pre-tax
basis  in  accordance  with  Section  401(k)  of  the  Internal  Revenue Code.
After-tax  contributions  ceased  June  30,  1995.

(6)  Financial  Instruments
     ----------------------

The  carrying  values  of  financial instruments such as cash, receivables and
liabilities  approximate  their  fair  values  because of the nature and short
maturity  of  these  instruments.  Club Corporation International common stock
and  short-term  investments  are  carried  at  fair  value.
