positions of President and Chief Executive Officer of ClubCorp and its parent ClubCorp, Inc., and in such other senior executive positions with ClubCorp or its Affiliates that the Chairman (&#147;Chairman&#148;) of the Board of Directors of ClubCorp
(&#147;Board&#148;) may designate for you from time to time. You will report directly to the Chairman. This Agreement will become effective August&nbsp;28, 2004 (the &#147;Effective Date&#148;) subject to approval by the Board and shall thereafter
supersede and replace your Employment Agreement effective as of August&nbsp;27, 2002, as subsequently amended. At all times you will be an employee at will, which means that either you or ClubCorp may terminate your employment at any time, with or
without cause. (Definitions of most capitalized terms appear in the final section of this Agreement.) </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">2. <U>Compensation.</U> </FONT></P> <P

and thirty-eight cents ($22,115.38), subject to normal withholding, so that, if annualized, your gross base salary would be five hundred seventy-five thousand dollars ($575,000.00) (the &#147;Base Salary&#148;). Your Base Salary will be reviewed by
the Board at least annually and may be increased at the discretion of the Board from time to time on or after July&nbsp;1, 2005. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(II)
Additionally, you will have the potential to earn an annual cash bonus payment (the &#147;Annual Bonus&#148;) in a target amount equal to your Base Salary, subject to normal withholding, depending on your performance against the financial objectives
set in the Senior Executive Bonus Plan. (Your Annual Bonus could potentially exceed your Base Salary if you exceed certain goals set in whatever plan is in effect from time to time.) The compensation worksheet, attached as Exhibit A, describes the
financial objectives of the Senior Executive Bonus Plan currently in effect. All Senior Executive Bonus plan terms and parameters are subject to change at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board, provided that such changes will be
applied to you in a manner no less favorable than to other ClubCorp senior executives and that they will be communicated to you in advance of their effective date and take effect no earlier than the start of a next compensation year. </FONT></P> <P

of 20% of the total original grant on July&nbsp;1 of each subsequent year. Subject to having achieved your 2004 performance objectives which shall mean achieving one hundred percent (100%)&nbsp;of ClubCorp&#146;s 2004 plan, you will receive an
additional option grant as soon as practicable after January&nbsp;1, 2005 of two hundred thousand (200,000)&nbsp;shares, with an Exercise Price of the Fair Market </FONT></P>

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(1) For purposes of determining the Gross Up in Section&nbsp;13 of this Agreement, you will be deemed to pay federal, state, and local income tax at the highest marginal rate applicable in the calendar year in which
the payment is made. The determination of whether excise tax is payable, including whether any exception may apply, and if so the amount thereof, will be made upon the opinion of tax counsel selected by ClubCorp and reasonably acceptable to you,
applying the following rules: (a)&nbsp;all payments will be treated as &#147;parachute payments&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all &#147;excess parachute payments&#148; within the meaning of
Section&nbsp;280G(b)(1) of the Code will be treated as subject to excise tax unless in the opinion of counsel such payments do not constitute parachute payments or such excess parachute payments represent reasonable compensation for services
actually rendered within the meaning of Section&nbsp;280G(b)(4) of the Code in excess of the &#147;base amount&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;280G(b)(3) of the Code or are otherwise not subject to excise tax; and (b)&nbsp;the value of any
non-cash or deferred payments or benefits will be determined by an independent accounting firm selected by ClubCorp and reasonably acceptable to you in accordance with the principles of Section&nbsp;280G(d)(3) and (4)&nbsp;of the Code. All fees,
costs, and expenses of tax counsel and any accounting firm or other advisor retained in accordance with this paragraph will be paid solely by ClubCorp. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(2) The Gross Up, if any, will be paid in a lump sum cash payment within 30 days after the date on which the amount thereof has been determined or is reasonably determinable by tax counsel, and in any event not later
than 45 days following a termination of your employment; provided, however, that if the amount of Gross Up cannot be finally determined at or before such time, the amount paid will be the estimated full amount of the Gross Up as reasonably
determined by tax counsel in good faith and in accordance with the principles of the preceding paragraph. If such an estimated Gross Up is paid, or if the opinion of tax counsel is not finally accepted by the Internal Revenue Service, then
appropriate adjustments will be computed (with additional Gross Up, if necessary) by tax counsel based upon the final amount of excise tax, and any additional amount due you as a result of such adjustment (including any interest or penalties owed by
you by reason of any underpayment) will be paid in cash and in a lump sum within 30 days of such computation. Any amount due ClubCorp as a result of such an adjustment will be paid by you in cash in a lump sum within 30 days of such computation.
