In March 2015, Golf entered into a lease for a 27-hole municipal golf property owned by Los Angeles County, California. The lease is for a term of 21 years and encompasses the golf course, a driving range, food and beverage facilities and a pro shop.

In August 2015, the lease on the golf property in Hawaii expired and Golf exited the property.
