Westwood Golf Club

Case Description

Westwood Golf Club, originally founded in 1928 as Westwood Country Club, has the distinction of being the second oldest Private Golf Club in Houston on its original site. In 2018, the 18-hole course underwent extensive renovations. While upgrading the club’s facilities, it was the logical time to upgrade its communications platform.

“We already received 35% of the total purchase price back using Section 179 of the U.S. Tax Code, so that was a nice write-off and bonus right off the bat. And instead of having a monthly payment that would never go away, our lease on the premise system ends after a 60-month term with a $1 buyout at the end. A full five-year software assurance warranty included in the purchase also gives me peace of mind that there will be zero hidden ‘gotchas’ in the future.”
