Enjoying a steadily developing market environment, HNGCC has the potential to become the leading golf club of Hungary once again. A comprehensive business case has been developed to support a newbuild additional hotel real estate development with the aim of becoming Hungary’s first internationally branded golf resort.
Based on the current property and our business case, the property has already secured LOIs and partnerships:
- with TWO major global hotel brands already signing a LOI;
- with International Management Group UK Ltd (IMG) for full golf management & marketing services LOI;
These top global market players’ affiliation allows any future developer to mitigate risks and maximise returns and turn this into the market leading golf & wellness hotel in Hungary.
Hungary has become more and more a destination where people want a second home or where seniors choose to live because of the existing infrastructure and living standards and security.
With its sub-Mediterranean climate and above-average hours of sunshine per year, Somogy County is a popular destination for tourists and for those wishing to relocate to Hungary.
The property is in Hencse between two major tourist regions in Hungary, the Lake Balaton region and Pécs.
Only 80 km south of Lake Balaton, 40 km to the Croatian border, 2 hours to Zagreb, about 4 hours to the Adriatic Sea and 100 km to Slovenia. The location is approximately 170 km from Budapest and is easily accessible thanks the well-developed infrastructure. Hencse can be reached from Vienna within four hours by car.
