WHEREAS,  the  Company  maintains  the  ClubCorp  Stock  Investment  Plan (the
"Plan");  and

WHEREAS,  the Company amended and restated the Plan effective January  1, 1995
and  subsequently  amended  the  Plan  to make certain technical qualification
changes  in  response  to  a  request  from  the Internal Revenue Service; and

WHEREAS,  the  Company  subsequently  amended the Plan on several occasions to
make  other  changes  desired  by  the  Company;  and

WHEREAS, effective January  1, 1998, the Company now desires to amend the Plan
to  allow for the discontinuance of PreTax Contributions at any time following
written  notice  to  the  Plan  Administrator;  and

WHEREAS,  the Plan may be amended by the Company pursuant to the provisions of
Article  XV  of  the  Plan,  and  the  Company  desires  to  amend  the  Plan.

NOW,  THEREFORE,  the  Plan is amended as follows, effective as of January  1,
1998:

1.    Existing Subsection 4.05(2) is deleted in its entirety and the following
is  substituted  in  its  place:

"4.05(2)    Each Employee who becomes eligible or who at a given time is about
to become eligible to participate in the Plan shall elect, at such time and in
such  form as the Plan Administrator shall in its sole and absolute discretion
determine, to defer the receipt of a portion of his Compensation or to receive
his  entire  Compensation in cash, in accordance with Subsection 4.05(1).  The
Plan  Administrator  shall  establish and communicate to Employees uniform and
nondiscriminatory  procedures  for  the election of percentage rates of PreTax
Contributions,  including  procedures  regarding  the  effective  date of such
election,  and  may change said procedures at such times and in such manner as
the  Plan  Administrator may determine to be necessary or desirable.  Any such
change  in  procedures  shall  be  communicated  to  Employees.

A  Participant who has previously elected to defer the receipt of a portion of
his  Compensation pursuant to this Section 4.05 may elect to change the amount
of  the deferral of his Compensation effective on the first day of the July  1
or  January    1  next  following  the  date  notice  is  received by the Plan
Administrator.  A Participant who desires to change or discontinue his Pre-Tax
Contribution  election must notify the Plan Administrator thereof in such form
and  in conformance with the procedures established by the Plan Administrator.
A  notice  of  the change in the percentage rate must be delivered to the Plan
Administrator  within  the  applicable  Election  Period  prior  to July  1 or
January    1.   Notwithstanding the rules regarding election changes set forth
above,  a  Participant  may completely discontinue his PreTax Contributions at
any time by prior written notice to the Plan Administrator.  A Participant who
has  ceased  all  PreTax Contributions may not elect to defer any Compensation
until  the  next  following  January    1  or  July  1, as set forth above for
changes.    Any  such change of percentage rate or discontinuance shall not be
effective  until  after  the  notice  of  the  change  of  percentage  rate or
discontinuance  is  received  by  the  Plan  Administrator."


IN  WITNESS  WHEREOF,  this Amendment has been executed the day and year first
above  written.
