On March 7, 2018, the Company announced it was actively pursuing the sale of 26 owned Traditional Golf properties in order to generate capital for reinvestment in the Entertainment Golf business. As of June 30, 2019, the Company continues to present five golf properties as held-for-sale. The assets and associated liabilities are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Real estate assets, held-for-sale, net” and “Real estate liabilities, held-for-sale,” respectively.
 
The real estate assets, held-for-sale, net are reported at a carrying value of $33.4 million and include $24.4 million of land, $8.0 million of buildings and improvements, $0.5 million of furniture, fixtures and equipment, and $0.5 million of other related assets, partially offset by accumulated impairment. The real estate liabilities, held-for-sale, are reported at a carrying value of less than $0.1 million and include property liabilities to be assumed, primarily prepaid membership dues. In March 2019, the Company reassessed the real estate assets, held-for-sale, net and determined that the carrying value of two properties exceeded the fair value less anticipated costs to sell. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss and recorded accumulated impairment totaling approximately $1.0 million. The fair value measurements were based on expected selling prices, less costs to sell. The significant inputs used to value these real estate investments fall within Level 3 for fair value reporting.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company sold two public golf properties in Georgia and a private golf property in California for an aggregate sale price of $28.7 million, resulting in net proceeds of $25.5 million, inclusive of transaction costs of $0.5 million. The Company received sale proceeds of $17.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, consisting of $18.2 million for the golf properties sold during the three months ended March 31, 2019, and $2.2 million for golf properties that were sold during December 2018, less $2.7 million that was remitted to buyers for golf properties that were sold during December 2018. The Company previously received a $9.4 million cash deposit in 2018 related to a golf property that was sold in 2019. The difference between the sales price and the net proceeds was primarily due to prepaid membership dues that we are obligated to remit to the buyer, including $2.1 million payable to the buyer of a golf property sold during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The golf properties had a carrying value of $20.3 million and resulted in a gain on sale of $5.2 million. The gain on sale is recorded in other income (loss), net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company entered into a management agreement on the California golf property.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company sold two public golf properties in New Jersey and California and two private golf properties in Tennessee and Washington for an aggregate sale price of $19.7 million, resulting in net proceeds of $17.9 million, inclusive of transaction costs of $0.8 million. The Company received sale proceeds of $14.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019, consisting of $18.4 million for the golf properties sold during the three months ended June 30, 2019, less $3.5 million that was remitted to buyers for golf properties that were sold in 2018 and the first quarter of 2019. The golf properties had a carrying value of $18.3 million and resulted in a loss on sale of $0.4 million. The loss on sale is recorded in other income (loss), net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company entered into a management agreement on the Washington golf property.

In March 2019, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of a Traditional Golf leased golf property in California, using the income approach based on future assumptions of cash flows. Based on the analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.1 million. As the fair value inputs utilized are unobservable, the Company determined that the significant inputs used to value this property falls within Level 3 for fair value reporting.
