Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis using the estimated useful lives detailed in Note 2. Depreciation expense, which included amortization of assets recorded under finance leases, was $24.4 million, $19.3 million and $16.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

On March 7, 2018, the Company announced it was actively pursuing the sale of 26 owned Traditional Golf properties in order to generate capital to invest in the growth of the Entertainment Golf business. The assets are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Real estate assets, held-for-sale, net”. See Note 15 for additional information.

In October 2018, we reclassified a golf property in New Mexico from held-for sale to held-and-used and recorded catch-up depreciation expense.

In October 2020, the Company sold its remaining Traditional Golf property classified as held for sale, for $34.5 million, resulting in net proceeds of $33.6 million and recognized a gain on sale of $16.6 million.

Below is a summary of the Traditional Golf properties sold during 2020    , 2019 and 2018 (in millions).
