                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


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, 1998 and 1997, 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, 1998 and 1997, 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 schedule of assets held
for  investment  purposes as of December 31, 1998 and the schedule of reportable
transactions for the year ended December 31, 1998, 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.  These supplemental schedules are the
responsibility  of  the Plan's management.  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, 1998 and 1997

(1)  GENERAL
The  ClubCorp  Stock  Investment  Plan  (Plan)  is  a  defined contribution plan
covering all employees of ClubCorp, Inc.'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  years  ended  December  31,  1998  and 1997,
ClubCorp  made  discretionary  contributions  of  approximately  $1,558,000  and
$1,430,000,  respectively.

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  $155,339  and  $150,443  in 1998 and 1997, respectively.  Indirect
expenses  and  any  direct  expenses  not  covered  by  forfeitures  are paid by
ClubCorp.  Indirect  administrative  expenses of $313,775 and $301,755 were paid
by  ClubCorp  on  behalf  of  the  Plan  in  1998  and  1997,  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,  1998 and 1997 are less than the corresponding amounts reported in
the  accompanying financial statements by $1,153,951 and $906,617, 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, 1998
and  1997.

                                            -----------             -----------
                                            $66,629,764             $54,057,187
</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 ClubCorp
using  a  formula based on certain financial measures.  The Trustees of the Plan
have  retained  a  Financial  Advisor  to  perform  an  independent appraisal of
ClubCorp  four  times  each  year following delivery of the ClubCorp'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, 1998 and 1997, purchases
of  common  stock  made  by  the  Plan were from two individual shareholders and
ClubCorp.


(3)  EMPLOYER 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, 1998 and 1997.  At December 31, 1998 and 1997, Employer
contributions  receivable  includes  the  Employer discretionary contribution of
approximately  $1,558,000  and  $1,430,000,  respectively  (see  note  1(b)).


(4)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Plan obtained its latest tax determination letter on July 15, 1998, 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)  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.  ClubCorp,  Inc.  common  stock and short-term
investments  are  carried  at  fair  value.


(6)  SUBSEQUENT EVENT
The  Plan  was  amended  and  restated  into  an  employee  stock ownership plan
effective  as of January 1, 1999, known as the ClubCorp Employee Stock Ownership
Plan  (the "Amended Plan").  Eligible employees continue to have the opportunity
to invest 1% to 6% of their pretax compensation, subject to certain limitations.
The  participating  subsidiaries'  matching  contributions  and vesting schedule
remained  the  same.

Funds  that were in the Plan before January 1, 1999, remain in the Amended Plan.
Generally, contributions to the Amended Plan will be invested in ClubCorp stock.
Participants  may  elect  to  diversify  a  portion of their account assets upon
meeting  certain  age  and  participation  requirements.  In  addition,  upon
termination,  retirement  or  permanent disability, a participant or beneficiary
may  demand  distribution  of  ClubCorp  common  stock  in  lieu  of  cash.
