• The company has a limited operating history and may not be able to operate its business successfully or generate sufficient cash flows to accomplish its business objectives.

Risks

• The company is a holding company and may rely on dividends paid by its subsidiaries for its cash needs.

• Economic downturns could negatively affect the business, financial condition and results of operations.
• Increasing property taxes, Association fees, and insurance costs may negatively affect results of operations.

• The company may not be able to attract and retain customers that consistently utilize the golf country clubs and pay green fees.
• The business operation is subject to seasonality.
• The golf course maintenance is highly dependent on a third-party golf-club consultant which subjects the company to risks.

• There has been no public market for the common stock prior to this offering, and you may be unable to resell the common stock at or above the price you pay for them, or at all.
• The market price of the common stock may be volatile.
• Because the public offering price per share is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

• The management has broad discretion to determine how to use the funds raised in the offering and may use them in ways that may not enhance the results of operations or the price of the shares.
• The company does not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
• The company is an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company under the JOBS Act, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
• Anti-takeover provisions in the charter documents and Nevada law could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of the company and may affect the trading price of the common stock.
