i would like to get listing of names belonging to following categories:
1.developers of worldwide golf resorts 
2.institutional investors in worldwide golf tourism resorts

Hello claudius1-ga:

I had been working on your question for a while. My initial research
provided information on few of the golf resort developers (see
comments). Now, I have more golf resort developers. Please note that I
have included in my list the developers who exclusively develop only
the golf resorts and those developers who have shown a keen interest
in golf resort development. I have tried not to include any company
that doesn?t have the portfolio to match your inquiry.

I am also providing you with some of the top golf resort institutional investors. 

Please review:

Request for Answer Clarification by claudius1-ga on 30 Dec 2003 09:53 PST

thank you for your research efforts.
my emphasis was on "worldwide" golf resorts developers and investors.
your findings are mainly US-oriented. I don't object to US names as
long as they have non-US investment records
could you shift the focus of your research accordingly?
