SEGMENT REPORTING SEGMENT REPORTING
 
The Company currently has three reportable segments: (i) entertainment golf, (ii) traditional golf and (iii) corporate. The Company has determined that its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the chief executive officer and president, who reviews discrete financial information, including resource allocation and performance assessment, for each reportable segment to manage the Company.

The Company's entertainment golf segment, launched in 2018, is comprised of Drive Shack venues that feature tech-enabled hitting bays with in-bay dining, full-service restaurants, bars, and event spaces. It is also comprised of Puttery, the Company’s newest competitive socializing and entertainment platform.

The Company's traditional golf segment is one of the largest operators of golf courses and country clubs in the United States. As of September 30, 2021, the Company owned, leased or managed 56 traditional golf properties across nine states. Following the close of business on March 31, 2021, management agreements expired for the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club, Tustin Ranch Golf Club, and Yorba Linda Country Club, reducing the total number of courses managed in our traditional golf business to 22.
On May 5, 2021, the SeaCliff Country Club ("SeaCliff") lease expired, reducing the total number of leased or owned courses to 34. The total annual revenue generated by the four properties during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $22.4 million and $6.6 million, respectively. The total revenue generated by SeaCliff for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was not material. On September 1, 2021, the Company was notified the lease for the Tilden Golf Course will not be renewed as of December 31, 2021. The total revenue generated for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and year-to-date as of September 30, 2021, was $3.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively.


The corporate segment consists primarily of investments in loans and securities, interest income on short-term investments, general and administrative expenses as a public company, interest expense on the junior subordinated notes payable (Note 7) and income tax expense (Note 13).
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:
