The Firethorne Country Club has been sold, according to the property's listing broker.
The new owner was not identified but described in a press release as "a new entity to the golf industry" but "a veteran of the hospitality industry."
The country club, with its 18-hold golf course, ran into problems in 2009 when it stopped paying on a $8 million loan, according to court documents filed by its lender, Textron Financial Corp. The lender said at the time the club owed more than $5.5. million.
Textron started foreclosure proceedings in 2010, but they were halted when the country club filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, listing debts of $1 million to $10 million. Textron later took over the club, located in Marvin.
Marketing materials show the listing price as $5.5 million, a 57 percent discount to the $12.7 million county assessed value. The materials say the club has a historical annual revenue of between $4 million and $5 million.
Steven Ekovich and Chris Karamitsos with Marcus & Millichap's National Golf & Resort Properties Group represented the seller. Ekovich said he could not disclose the seller because of a confidentiality agreement. He also did not share the sales price.

I'm sure all the residences tax values adjacent to the course are more "accurately" estimated to the reality of the $2.5 million sale price....1/6th of mecklenburg county tax value.
And, in most matrices the depressed sale should be reflected in an adjustment across the street...
