showcase W PREDATOR RIDGE
NYROSE & Associates RANKED BC’S #1*TEAM AT COLDWELL BANKER ®
Special resort is located in special part of the Okanagan Kruschke: We have definitely seen a shift in the golf market itself over the years. There is such player diversity, with golf enthusiasts from every age and stage of life. This market wants to purchase on a golf course that is suited to all skill levels. When we engaged Doug Carrick to design our new course, we had the vision of creating a truly playable resort course. We envisioned a course that will challenge the scratch golfer who’s playing from the tips, but that challenge level diminishes proportionally as you move forward thru the tee boxes. From the initial feedback from those people who have played the new Ridge Course, I think we’ve been successful in building the type of course that we originally envisioned. Q: Tell us about the developer- how long have they been in building golf course and new home communities. What are some other projects they have

Q: How have you noticed the real estate market and recreation property market change in the last few years. How does Predator Ridge address this ‘new reality’? Kruschke: One of the most obvious changes is that we no longer see the ‘launch’ of new real estate product or neighborhoods. Gone are the days of people ‘lining up around the block waiting for the doors to open.’ Personally, I think the new reality is great for the industry as a whole. The investor/speculation market is much smaller, and now we are dealing almost entirely with end-users; clients who are considering making Predator Ridge their home. This aligns itself perfectly with our vision for Predator Ridge, which is building one of Canada’s best resort communities in a very special place. Q: What have been some new innovations and/or trends in golf course real estate development in the past couple of years?
