SEGMENT REPORTING
 
The Company currently has four reportable segments: (i) Traditional Golf properties, (ii) Entertainment Golf venues, (iii) Debt Investments, and (iv) corporate. The Company's Traditional Golf business is one of the largest owners and operators of golf properties in the United States. As of September 30, 2017, the Company owned, leased or managed 77 Traditional Golf properties across 13 states.  Additionally, the Company plans to open a chain of next-generation Entertainment Golf venues across the United States and internationally, which combine golf, competition, dining and fun. 

The Debt Investment segment consists primarily of loans and securities which the Company has substantially monetized as part of its transformation to a leisure and entertainment company. The corporate segment consists primarily of interest income on short-term investments, general and administrative expenses, interest expense on the junior subordinated notes payable (Note 6), management fees pursuant to the Management Agreement (Note 12) and income tax expense (Note 14). Segment information for previously reported periods has been reclassified to conform to the change to the reportable segments in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Summary financial data on the Company’s segments is given below, together with a reconciliation to the same data for the Company as a whole:
